Cost of a single-family house, where is the market heading?

But you simply can't put every standard floor plan on any plot of land.

In regard to a bungalow, I would agree with that, for any other house only to a limited extent, as it depends on the size of the ground area. Otherwise, the plot of land would have to be very awkwardly shaped.

Besides, you have to like the floor plan first or it has to meet the requirements.

That is correct. Although requirements can be debated, as they are very subjective. There are supposedly people who can't live with less than 180++ m² for two persons and so on, who absolutely need a 60m² living room, etc. (just fictional information) As said, it’s a matter of opinion. For example, does a child need a 40m² bedroom or are 20m² sufficient...? The bigger you build, the more expensive and individual it becomes. But that has nothing to do with the market. When considering the market, you should not consider the factor of individuality and stick to standards. Only this is comparable.

And who defines the "standard"? Hardly providers like Viebrockhaus, etc....

There are plenty of "poorly shaped plots" - just orientation, neighbors, terrain... there are rarely the perfectly flat, exactly rectangular plots. And even there, it depends again on the orientation...

I think so, if you look at these companies, for example, they all have similar floor plans that have already been built thousands of times. So you can probably speak of a quasi-standard. In any case, everything newly designed by an architect is not standard. And architects will also try to sell houses that are already finished (standard for them) planned.

There are enough "stupidly cut plots" – just orientation, neighbors, terrain profile... there are rarely perfectly level, exactly rectangular plots. And even there it depends on the orientation...

Certainly, there are stupid plots, but these will not be the majority. The majority of houses have a rectangular floor plan, and such a plan probably fits on 90% of all plots. If necessary, the plot just has to be prepared accordingly. But that has nothing to do with the house. With an L-shaped bungalow or houses with "playful" floor plans, it looks different, of course. Such houses (except L-shaped bungalows) can probably hardly be considered standard.

If I look at your picture, then that could be, for example, a "standard" from my point of view. At least there are certainly companies that offer something like that. How it looks inside, of course, I cannot assess.

If you just read here in the forum how many people have a sloped plot, I doubt that 90% have a perfectly flat, rectangular plot - but that is also an assumption on my part.

And no, my house is not standard - at least in terms of structure (definitely not inside). I wouldn’t have gotten that from any "known" house building company...

If you read alone here in the forum how many people have a sloped plot here, I doubt that 90% have a perfectly level, rectangular plot - but that is also an assumption on my part.

I think it's just like that here in the forum, the others simply have no problems and therefore do not seek help.

And no, my house is not standard – at least in terms of structure (inside definitely not). I wouldn’t have gotten that from any "well-known" house building company...

What is so individual about the outside? That you wouldn’t have gotten it 100% like that is clear, see the windows and entrance area. But it certainly also cost a lot of money. So it’s individual and you could/wanted to afford it. With less capital, another house would certainly have been an option, without these personal preferences.

-----------------------------------------------

I think this discussion can be ended now. Whoever has the money can build very individually and the prices are then correspondingly high. The question is always, does it have to be that way or would something "more affordable" also be sufficient. Not everyone earns that much money. I just wanted to express that you can also build with a net income of 3500-4000€, if the plots are affordable.

If you just read here in the forum how many people have a sloped plot, I doubt that 90% have a perfectly flat, right-angled plot - but that is also an assumption on my part.

And no, my house is not standard - at least not in terms of structure (definitely not inside). I wouldn't have gotten that from any "well-known" house building company...

Do you know Gussek Haus? Visually, your house resembles theirs quite a bit, although they are a prefab house provider.

The rest is a matter of taste and individuality. Some are fine with a Dacia, others can't imagine driving without ACC, DCC, ESP, FCP, etc.
