Floor plan optimization city villa + fill consideration

Now seriously:

Is there any reason not to start completely over from scratch? With the massive amount of posts, I have lost track.
Is the financing already finalized? If yes, there could be problems with commitment interest and/or the construction sum and the required loan.
Apartment terminated?

The decision whether to have a basement or not is so essential that personally, I wouldn’t just add the basement underneath.
It opens up entirely new possibilities.

This is also the prime example that you should ideally include the topography of the property from the very beginning. The way it is now, it’s the worst case...

Whether it is due to the topography is not at all clear. I had rather understood that it is due to the geology. Maybe someone conducted a [Baugrundgutachten] a bit too late?

Apparently the earthworks are so expensive. We are being invited to a meeting with the construction company because they want to ask if we really want to build as planned. Possibly one could build with a basement for a similar amount of money.

I could really puke. Why are they coming up with this so late? Is that normal?

What did the soil survey report back then? You usually do that before planning – especially on a slope.

The slope was cut at the beginning but you didn’t address that. It has to be a city villa, it will be filled in.

I even think that I dropped out of the discussion exactly because I found a raised city villa instead of a city villa in the slope absolutely pointless to discuss.

The utility room could become an office/guest room. The upper floor could stay as it is.

Honestly, I would go back to square one and include the slope in the planning instead of positioning it unplanned. And then put a stylish basement underneath the ground floor.

My husband and I. Don't always take it personally.

You directly addressed US here in the forum. So what's going on with him now?

I would first like to hear the reasoning. But if all the neighbors have "raised" their basements, I would really have to consider whether to nestle low against the slope. However, it also depends on the location of the property and the financial possibilities.

Whether it is due to the topography is not clear at all. I had rather understood that it is due to the geology. Did someone perhaps carry out a soil survey report a bit too late?

Yes, apparently. The static calculations were only done after the building permit was granted, and for the static calculations a soil survey was first used. Poor soil quality was assumed from the beginning during the planning, and therefore the earthworks (with buffer) were estimated high. We always thought that building on a concrete slab would not be a problem. We do not like basements and were told that building with a basement would definitely be very expensive. That is why we never considered a basement. Our neighbor built up well so that he has a basement with living space. But he definitely wanted to have an apartment for his older son in the basement. He then added 2 full floors on top of that. So he has living space on 3 floors. And something like that never occurred to us.
