Demolish the house - use the basement for the new house?

Have the cellar inspected to see if the structure is sound and suitable for building on. Have it checked whether the building services can be installed there. And then think it over further. I want to store food accessibly inside the house.

Thank you, I will therefore show my desired house to the builder. He will then check the basement construction substance. And then be able to tell me if that is possible.

From the answers, I read that it is generally feasible.

More like: It is possible, but not always sensible.

So I will show my dream house to the builder.

Or to Uncle Günter's dachshund, that could amount to the same thing. Builders like to formwork and bricklay - people who like to tinker are called engineers.

Let's not misunderstand each other: not all builders think in a straightforward way. But with a fairly high probability, the builder will only be able to imagine the project if the basement floor plan resembles a subset of the new house floor plan.

However, that would not necessarily be within the realm of possibilities, but smarter concepts call for an architect.
