I have been a silent reader here in the forum for a while, but so far I couldn't really answer my questions, so now I am starting my own topic.
My wife and I have decided after much consideration to build a house after all. Buying an existing property is not an option due to lack of supply, and fortunately we have a 1000 sqm building plot (fully developed) within the family circle.
Now the only question is how to best approach it. We have very concrete ideas of what we want to build and the development plan allows for one full floor, so it will ultimately be 1.5 floors. A basement is also planned, with a living area of about 200 sqm + double garage.
For now, we are researching, like many others, and ended up at Viebrockhaus. We like some of the houses there, but the floor plans would rather serve as a guideline for us. Can someone tell us how adaptable the floor plans are? Is it possible to plan more windows?
We plan to have a living/cooking area + fireplace + study/guest room + guest bathroom on the ground floor. On the upper floor, a master bedroom + private bathroom + dressing room, as well as 2 children's rooms + children's bathroom. In the basement there should be a fitness room, utility room, and connection room.
Our budget expectations are max. €600,000 (+ 15% contingency + possibly an architect for phases 1-8). Is that even realistic? Own labor is excluded both due to experience and time.
Maybe someone can also recommend a good general contractor from the Hannover area with whom we could also get information? Many thanks in advance for your tips.
