Floor plan design single-family house (city villa 140 sqm) on a slope with double garage

As it was written, that’s how it was meant. If you need an all-inclusive package because you don’t have the time or desire to familiarize yourself with the topics, then you just have to sell the property and resort to a developer. A general contractor will demand far more decisions and knowledge from Franky than we are currently asking. If every sentence ends with a "...or?" then it won’t work.

You see, that’s exactly where the problem lies. We had clear ideas about our future house, but underestimated the specifics of the hillside property. But again, the construction engineer said it’s not a problem at all, even at those prices, which is why I always feel somewhat unfairly accused since we did seek advice! Now we are a bit wiser and know that we first have to look around and get much better advice about what is actually feasible on the property – also so that the budget doesn’t get completely out of control. I am also quite skilled with handiwork; when we built our previous bungalow we did almost everything ourselves from shell construction to interior finishing (except screed, electrical work, and installations). This time we would mostly have it completed professionally. However, I can do painting, flooring, and tiling myself – just for your information!

Cool, then with clinker you are already at 400k€ with double carport, with storage room, with paths and terrace, without kitchen, without lawn, without bushes, trees, fence.

But the price does not include nice bathrooms, so nothing with floor-to-ceiling tiles, drain, and walk-in shower. For that, you can add another 10k€.

I think the values are from your house? You didn't create a nice bathroom?

No, I didn't, it was too expensive for me!

If you then have to pay at least €600 for a toilet or the washbasin with cabinet without mirror costs €1500 and the shower then costs €4k, you won’t ask this question. If you then also have a shower in the guest WC... and have to multiply everything by 2, you quickly realize that you have spent €30k just on the bathroom.

...but apparently it is your idea. And suddenly you've crossed the 400k€ threshold.

...but apparently that is your idea. And suddenly you've crossed the 400k€ limit.

Why do you write "apparently that is your idea" when I wrote a few posts earlier "no golden faucets"!?

We had a really nice bungalow that we also brought to a very modern & classy level with little money. Anyone who takes the time to compare can save a lot on many things without having to accept major quality losses.
