Enlarge living room / extend concrete ceiling?

Here is the plan including the furnishings. I had already thought about placing the sofa with the long side against 1 and then hanging the TV on the wall at 2. There are connections there and it was originally probably intended that way by the architect. Then the previous combination of shelving/TV cabinet would have to go. It is important that you can see the stove from the sofa (W-o-m-a-n ). The furnishing plan is not exact to the cm/scale accurate, but roughly correct.



Thank you I think this is hard to understand for outsiders. I have a certain, let's say ideal vision of the room. How much that is worth to me later, I have to decide for myself or be able/willing to afford.

Honestly, I would have guessed less. 100,000€ seems a lot to me. Especially when you see what the whole house cost as a new build.

I think yes, that's what it will come down to. Even if some trades are only for very small tasks.

For discussion my rough estimate (2 min thinking time): Architect + structural engineer 6,000€ Building permit 500€ BG: 500€ Client homepage: 250€ Demolition: 3,000€ Excavation: 2,000€ Shell construction: 12,000€ Roof + tinsmith: 3,000€ Veranda: 5,000€ Electrician: 2,000€ Sanitary: 1,000€ (Underfloor heating stays as is) Windows 1,500€ Plasterer 5,000€ Interior 5,000€

=> roughly 47,000€

Probably forgot half twice but I can't think of anything else right now...

I lack the imagination to understand how one wants to ensure that an attached slab behaves the same way in terms of settling as the existing structure.

It hardly gets more fanciful.

Move the terrace to the left, a small extension plan above should be relatively easy to do since there is currently only glazing there anyway..

But again: Without further plans, this won't work!

- The structural engineer alone will cost you at least €3k
- For the other €3k the architect won’t even get out of bed. For a construction project (and I stick to that) of €100k, you’re looking at €13k in fees.
- Chiseling out the screed, disposal, re-laying €10k
- Installing underfloor heating with insulation anew €8k
- A day with an excavator costs €800 alone
- Scaffolding for several months €2k
- ...

Gosh, reading that you also included restoring the outdoor area, I really have no desire to keep writing and listing what’s missing and where you miscalculated. Go to an architect and get enlightened!

So more like a helium castle? Maybe you’ve seen the movie "Up" too often?
Jokes aside. The OP has since relented and realized the idea doesn’t work.
I suggest more Bob the Builder as a mandatory program.
