Floor plan bungalow 140 sqm - suggestions?

Asymmetrical gable roofs are also possible, providing ceiling height in the living area and the opportunity for a sleeping loft for the children. : Really well implemented wishes!

The general contractor explained to me that he has extra work due to building the gable ... I can't refute that and would have to pay at least 9k more, since hip roof with 25 degree slope is specified in his scope of work ...

The stupid attitude towards building gables is really a pity, I had your GC on the edge as a candidate for my recommendation list. Presumably, he has a special deal with his carpenter if he can classify all roof trusses the same way. But the gable argument really hits hard - however, the way out of the nasty fiddling with a 25° gable is almost embarrassingly simple (provided you and the local building regulations do not object to increasing the roof pitch to 26.56 degrees).

on the other hand all the neighboring houses are also bungalows with hip roofs ... we could have stood out nicely, but oh well ...

Gable roof can also be asymmetrical,

Well, then the solution is obvious, and as the late comrade Chairman of the State Council would have said, "world level": namely standing out from the crowd by means of an asymmetrical hip roof!

You and the local building regulations raise no objections to increasing the roof pitch to 26.56 degrees).

I actually believe that he gets a subscription price for his house roofs. The main thing is that there is a house standing there. Mass produced. Well, somehow you have to keep the costs under control. I also don't really believe in "free planning," but rather in "moving walls and possible adjustments" ;)

Yes, with a rectangular floor plan, "always the same roof pitch" probably actually means that the carpenter just inserts different dimensions into the always same calculation model. You can then already give quantity discounts.

The main thing is that at the front door you have the parking-bay-shaped "anti-bay window" as a "trademark" *LOL*

with this weird bulge they don't need to come to me either ... it's long since been noted on the "complaint list" :-p

A straight bulge- ... uh... recess has advantages and serves as a roof as well as a weather-protected platform. Or do you want corrugated iron on the side and above?
