House construction planning: solid house or prefabricated house? With or without a basement?

There is probably at least one house in Germany where the entire off-grid system works. At least that's what the YouTube video I watched about it claims... But yes, the effort is high. Facade photovoltaics, just to name one keyword.

I think we watched the same post.

Picea Selbst, however, states a significantly higher number of Autak units that they have already sold.

Of course, at first, that's just the seller trying to make it appealing :)

But for my part, I also initially see the point of being Autak.
Saving money that can initially go towards the loan.
And on top of that, you're also doing something good for the environment :) At least when it comes to the climate ^^

What do you guys generally say?

Masonry or prefab house?

Basement or rather put the technical room somewhere else?
The basement tempts us because it gains a lot of storage space, and especially because of the tech hobby, there would be even more space to accommodate the equipment.

And in comparison to what a basement costs versus regular living space.
The basement can be built in such a way that rooms can still be made "livable" later on.
At first, you just have to make sure that the ceiling height is suitable for a residential basement.
Although "residential basement" is too much said, but you can still come up with ideas years later on how to use the storage/clutter space more sensibly ^^
Sounds weird again ^^

Oh man, I hope someone understands what I mean.
For example, there could be space for a child's room in case we rethink it in 5 years (just an example ^^)

because there is no blanket better option.
Basement yes/no
Budget
Development plan
Slope
Soil conditions

There are significant differences in wall structure but no blanket is better

Your wishes and your budget do not match by a six-figure amount.
You won't get a basement for 30k. Maybe the hole and the disposal of the excavation.

From Weberhaus, there are prefabricated basements.

The excavation... yes, sure, you could maybe also keep it instead of having it hauled away.
Just an idea...

No idea if something like that is possible.
That's what I'm here for, to find out something like that :)

Everything is possible. Most of it, however, depends on the property and the budget. We don't know either.

Currently, we still have the old Sony Bravia 3 times in the apartment and Sonos speakers and everything over the network with Logitech and an AV receiver. This should then happen a bit more centrally in the technical room rather than cluttered up in the living room cabinet. Of course, you want a good Dolby system.

Sonos is multiroom at the highest level for you? Ok.

If you assume Control 4 and such now.

Strong. Among other things, I have been professionally involved with Control4 since 2010. Are you a dealer? Because if not, as an end customer you don't even get access to the equipment and especially the software. And what do you have in mind there? Just out of interest... MoIP or HDBaseT centrally?

As long as you still have so little knowledge and also do not want to disclose any further details about income etc. (that's your business, but many reveal everything here in order to be advised, because otherwise it is simply not possible). You can also read about this here in the construction financing forum. With only wishes, without concrete indications that this house will be more than just a dream - hardly anyone here will help you. There are advantages and disadvantages of solid brick-and-mortar construction and prefabricated houses. Neither is bad, and endless discussions have already taken place here, so it helps to use the search function. For example here Basement or not, in the end you have to live in the house and know what you want and need and what you can afford. We are building a house with solid wood walls, without a basement. But that won’t help you either.
