Cost-effective building without loss of quality, architect's house

Then you need a simple plot for that.

It works, I only have a ground floor, first floor and attic, no basement, and that with a 15m height difference on the plot, no stilts, nothing.
The ground floor is built with the back wall against the slope and supports it there. 3 sides do not touch the ground. We enter the plot from the ground floor.
For me and also in the plans, our ground floor is not a basement, not a living lower floor, but simply a ground floor.

Unfortunately, helpful answers require as much information as possible.

Above all, the follow-up questions do not come from "walk-in customers," but from members of the community who have already read through a thousand or more posts and ask exactly what is still missing for a useful piece of advice.

Of course, you are free to share less, but then you will also receive less or no input.

Less input is rare. With vague and/or sparse information, the input becomes more speculative, or if someone gives their own thread a circus drive ("no one intends that two plus one meter equals three meters"), then nonsense answers also come ;-)

It’s okay, I only have a ground floor, first floor, and attic, no basement, and that with a 15m height difference on the property, no stilts or anything. The ground floor is built with the back wall against the slope and catches it there. Three sides do not touch the ground. We enter the property from the ground floor. For me and also in the plans, our ground floor is not a basement, not a living basement, but simply a ground floor.

Yes, such things even exist and could be reasonably discussed because follow-up questions were usefully answered.

This is not in the Bayernatlas because it’s not in Bavaria – I’ve had a look, even if it were there, it wouldn’t help much more than my picture, it’s not that precise anyway?

And yes, of course this is building land – I won’t build in green land.

If I had never mentioned a hillside location – would you need to know everything for the actual thread topic, like how and exactly where it will be built with a topographical site plan and where the connections and neighbors are?

I don’t want advice on how to save costs because of the hillside location – I want to save costs everywhere else and get ideas and tips on where it would be best to do that.

There is no topographical plan yet; it’s in progress – as I have said several times, the project is just at the beginning. When there is one, I can share it.

I can assure you that even with sky and view, the picture won’t be particularly more helpful.
That no one from the internet will come to visit me once the house is built, is another matter – you are welcome to share your private address.

Back to the actual topic. In my "planning," I do not want to make the mistake of including any frills in advance that will be removed anyway because they are “not necessary” and “too expensive.”
Aren’t BU, architects, and prefab house companies trying to sell things that cause extra costs but don’t have essential benefits? For that, I would like advice.

The construction industry is just like any other – you want a car and configure it with almost full equipment where you don’t even want or really need half of it?

What is being expected of me here is that I show a topographical site plan including floor plan and how it should be built – I am about 6-12 months away from that state.

I understand that more information can be helpful, but in my case, I don’t get it.

Yes, there is even such a thing and it could be discussed reasonably, because follow-up questions were usefully answered.

I can tell you again: there is currently no useful topographical plan that would help here; it is in progress. The plan where the plot with its boundaries is drawn – that doesn’t help with the issue of the “hillside location”?

Think about how you will use the steep section later. For us, it will mostly remain wilderness.

Albert Haus as a timber frame can handle such slopes without building a tower and Wir-Leben-Haus as a solid wood builder.

Never lose sight of what you want and what you don't. Everywhere you are tempted into things you don't really need.
We do laundry on the upper floor - most of it accumulates there - so no chute is needed.
I wouldn't install a central vacuum system. Instead, I'd rather use two small robots. A central ventilation system is comfort for me.

Plan a buffer until the structural calculation is available. That cost us an additional around 20k. Thicker floor slab, massive reinforcement, and thicker retaining wall and foundation slab.

But then you shouldn't write something like that here.



What does it help you to lie here? I'm out of here.

You save the most if you get help.

In the BayernAtlas, you can determine elevations with an accuracy of 10 cm. That is very helpful for a project on a slope like this. You can also see where the road is located.

I HAD TO state that during registration!
What am I supposed to do if I don’t even live in Germany? I HAD TO state some federal state.
