Those who warn are certainly not to blame for rising construction costs. It makes no sense to deny a financing banker's substantiation of his suspicion, and reality doesn't get any sweeter because of it.

I will take another look at the staircase. And yes, it’s possible, there is already a building permit, even with a basement, but we don’t want to build that.

Show us the plan from the building permit.

A flat plot and at the end it drops steeply 6m down?

I can't see any idea from the interior designer here yet. The kitchen planning has priority.

That is exactly how it is with the plot. The ground floor is the plan from the building permit with minimal changes.

No one should claim to have a monopoly on the truth, you are right about that! In this respect, it would be more than helpful if you presented the facts you have to all the other prospective builders here, so they don't fall into the obvious price trap elsewhere; otherwise, such a discussion becomes tedious. So, the respective providers will surely be happy if you show their absolutely good offers here, and if it is indeed good, it will withstand any scrutiny and criticism. What could be better? We also didn't build a standard house, close to passive house standards and also with partly unconventional circumstances. Therefore, it is clear to me that you can also build outside of usual standards if you forgo certain things or accept their peculiarities or absence. We do that. Then I should also explain that in a discussion so that it becomes understandable and debatable. Discussing a floor plan is fun, but if the budget or the savvy planner is missing, it is a castle in the air or at the end rather wanted than able. I, and presumably others here, always appreciate extraordinary projects; however, these require more explanation than the house "Lisa" from the prefab builder. For example, we gave up on a heat pump, which saved us a lot of money, insulation was more than cheap, which is a considerable item for a passive house, windows are many but still standard quality, etc. I have written several times that with a rather extravagant build it is more important that you don't run out of breath at some point and then you afford the special staircase, stair railing, lighting, furniture, flooring, etc., because such a house with simple laminate, standard stairs, standard ceiling height, etc. would be what I consider unfinished or not well thought out. We have also had a lowered living area once, and I find that nice. But even there, additional costs arose, which I was willing to bear, and the design also becomes more extensive. Moreover, I definitely want to be able to step directly outside from there. On the other hand, I find the platform too much because it is not that big again there; furthermore, you have an area around the platform that you can virtually not use, and the purpose of that would not convince me compared to the effort and the limitations.

Absolutely, but the house is already planned on the maximum possible area, so bigger is not possible, smaller however is. We can handle the costs, even if it goes over 500k, that’s not the problem. Exactly where I place the interior walls, whether the staircase is straight or spiral, doesn’t make a big difference in the price anymore. I want to leave it at that.



I’ll take that into consideration. I will try to mark out the area, put a big table on it, and then see if you might fall off. It can always be removed—also after the shell construction is finished.
