Hello
No, wrong assumption
Since all rooms have to be realized on one level, the building envelope necessarily has to be larger; this means that the plot of land also becomes more expensive. All the technical installations have to be installed on this one level; the technology is one of the most expensive parts of building a house. And finally, you have a lot more floor slab, wall, and roof area. What is realistically saved is one staircase; the "rest" is just distributed over the ground floor instead.
If you now want to build a bungalow – as my previous poster wrote – with an attic (for me, that is no longer a bungalow but a single-family house with zero knee wall), you can only save money by installing a truss roof construction – but that limits later expansion because only a little storage space in the middle remains usable.
Kind regards
Why is building a bungalow significantly more expensive? @Bauexperte
Sure, you need more floor space for a bungalow, but apart from that, I thought that a simple bungalow design would be cheaper. Only one floor, no staircase... that should save a lot... please clarify
