Ground floor approx. 100 sqm, upper floor expandable (planned bathroom, 2 children's rooms, 1 storage room)

The upper floor is not yet 100% planned, but the foreman told us that we will still have to plan that, so that it will be clear at the start of construction how it should be later.

Hmm.

You are upset because I am giving my honest opinion here, but WHAT annoys ME is that money was spent here on a plan that was not thought through from start to finish. THAT annoys me.

If I understood correctly, then you simply don’t have an unlimited budget. Then you could write off this house as a "trial run" and the next one will be better. But that will not be possible.

If I buy an old existing house for little money, then I have to put up with such limitations, but if I am building new and, if I understood correctly, don’t have a truly restrictive building plan or a plot that gives me strict requirements (triangle with oak or something...) and then mess around with my limited budget, then that’s really enough to make you tear your hair out.

A bedroom in which I can put at most a 160cm bed… as I said, if I buy an old settlement house, then I have to live with that. But then I also paid something under 200,000€ (for house and land).
For a new build: NO GO!
Even if you can’t imagine it now: 160cm can be tight. Especially with kids...

What I also see as somewhat critical: finishing out the house once the kids are there.

And until then? A crib also in the tiny bedroom? And do you really think that will be the best time for an extension? Building savings or not, most likely one earner will partly or completely drop out.

There are so many – too many – inconsistencies, too many things that were not considered, and what came out is a pretty botched thing.

Thank God at least you are reasonable about the doors into the hallway!

You will move in soon, I hope you will still be happy there.
But I stand by this: given the conditions, something reasonable could have come out of it too.

You are upset because I am giving my honest opinion here, but what ANNOYS ME is that money was spent on a planning that was not thought through at all from start to finish. THAT annoys me.

I’m annoyed too, Climbee! But rubbing salt into the wound—that’s not for us. That only does justice to our reputation.

A bedroom in which I can at most put a 160cm bed... as I said, if I buy an old housing estate house, then I have to live with it. But then I also paid something under 2,000,000€. For a new build: NO GO! Even if you can’t imagine it now: 160cm can get tight. Especially with kids...

We only have a 160 too... it stood too close to a wall, or rather there were still moving boxes there, and whoosh... I broke my little toe in the dark. Little anecdote, because Pfefferstreuer likes little anecdotes. Oops, now I’m contradicting myself in my own post... salt in the wound... Pfefferstreuer... but that’s also a perfect setup for us to the OP.

but I am ANNOYED that money was spent here on a plan that was not thought through from start to finish.

Representing all those who warned in time and with reason. One does not leave one's ramblings here just to carve another "Kilroy was here" into the bark of the internet. Rather, one wants to be helpful with the advice and does not give it without reason before it is too late. Gladly for free, reluctantly in vain.

On behalf of all those who warned in time, rightly so. One does not leave their chatter here just to carve another "Kilroy was here" into the bark of the internet.

... that's why I make a bet: it will be done differently than the best advice given here

About the bedroom: you can still manage pretty well if you turn the bed and place the headboard against the window. Of course, it’s not nice and downright ridiculous for a new building. But better than always having to crawl down from above...
