House construction: Bungalow-Villa-Single-family house? Looking for an approach to self-home planning

Where would you generally start thinking?

Even if it seems repetitive, once again: 1.) Budget (installment, term, and equity make up the budget for the entire project. Deduct incidental costs, expenses, "the kitchen," the garden, and much more; what remains is the budget for house and land. At the beginning, I would round down the available budget to a full 50,000 euros, but calculate honestly beforehand.) 2.) Location 3.) Land (honestly, this can be where it fails, or back to 2. Back to 1 only possible with an interim career change, inheritance, or lottery win). 4.) House (and garage, shed, etc., whatever you want/need) from the architect or developer. or 3.) House and land from the developer. "Developer" can also be a prefabricated house provider, but does not have to be.

When the house and property are purchased from the developer, it should be noted that the corresponding property tax is calculated on the total price. Therefore, I would always try to get the house and property separately.

Hello knock88!

Maybe our planning experiences, which we have written down in our construction blog, will help you:

You will not find a construction diary there, describing in detail all the things that moved us daily in our individual builder life. Rather, we have tried to filter out from all our experiences the things which, in our amateur opinion, might be interesting for other builders.

Best regards

Sorry. The construction diary is already entered there, it can be easily found by searching for the construction company "Gemünden Bau".

You and your bathroom. :) On the topic: If you can afford it and the development plan allows it, then no half floors under the roof slope. Besides the poorer usability, there is also a quick heat buildup in summer due to the lack of thermal mass. And if you assume a reasonably decent knee wall of 1.60 to 1.80 and a gable roof, then the additional cost for 2.60 and hipped roof is not that much anymore. Whether bungalow or 2 full floors you should consider for yourself!? I would... [...] So first the floor plan and then there are roughly about 20 trades where you have to decide what you want. :)
