Home construction - Solid house or prefabricated house?

So, a big thank you to everyone for the contributions!

: We neither have a development plan nor do we want to build a villa. The house should be either single-story or one and a half stories, simply rectangular and with a gable roof.

Besides, we are building in Bavaria... so there are surely different price expectations than in northern federal states...?

I think you misunderstood me:

A "town villa" is a currently modern house type characterized by being square - two stories - with a flat hipped roof. It has nothing to do with "villa" in the sense of a "rich person's house." You could also call it a "instead-of-villa."

A "development plan" is not an elaborate plan for how to decorate the park property with a pool house, gatehouse, and tea pavilion. Rather, it is an official colorful city map of your housing block where unpleasant things are written. For example, whether the gables of your house must face the sides or the street and garden, or whether both are allowed.

Plots in new development areas always have to deal with the fact that such plans were made there. In village centers, they are regularly not in place. Then the neighboring buildings serve as a standard for how houses should look there.

One and a half stories and a gable roof are almost never restricted in development plans; you are almost always allowed to build that. But it may be the case, for example, that a roof pitch of 28 to 35° and a ridge direction parallel to the street is required. And for example, a knee wall may be excluded, so you have to place the wall plate inside the roof.

If by "we don’t have a development plan" you mean that you already have a plot and no such plan applies to it: then the desired house form could only be impeded if, for example, all neighboring houses had flat roofs.

Well, I understood it as them wanting to do something themselves, but not exactly walls. Ytong blocks are cut. Karsten

This only has to be done in this case because these stones are not available in small formats like bricks or sand-lime bricks. But any savings bank apprentice can be taught that. Tie off and let's go

In general, prefabricated houses are somewhat more expensive than solid houses of the same quality. A bungalow is more expensive again than a 1.5-story house with the same square meter area, due to a larger floor slab and more roof area; also, a larger plot of land is needed. Have you already got a building plot? Best regards Sabine

That is at least the nicest of the prefabricated house myths. Currently, one can increasingly read here about local/regional carpenters who, similar to local/regional builders in their area, can offer attractive deals.

Among the nationwide providers, the prefabricated house companies apparently have somewhat more demand and consequently offer less enticing "house prices" in the double sense than the solid builders (who are often active in cooperations and individually considered "smaller" companies).

The point is this. They want a simple 110 sqm house, and it should cost 200. Whether with or without additional construction costs is unclear. The whole thing in Bavaria. Dear Bavarians, is that possible? Costs for a bungalow or 1.5-story house, in my opinion, balance out. A larger foundation slab doesn’t help, the roof does. For that, a ceiling is missing, possibly a staircase. Hardly any scaffolding costs. Overall, here with us it’s about even. Karsten
