Calculation 1: €700,000 + 20% = €840,000 (Architect often underestimates by about 20%) Calculation 2: 250 sqm x €3,000 = €750,000 plus incidental construction costs €50,000 plus double garage €35,000 = €835,000 These are just calculations… ;) But the slope is not really a reason for a basement. It is leveled by the fill. Regarding the floor plan: it’s a shame that you cannot access the garden from the living area at all, only through the rather small doors on the terrace. And the kitchen is definitely too small: there is no space for tall cabinets at all. The children's bathroom drainage should be avoided through the dining area. Otherwise solid, if you disregard the calculation.
