Clarify the height of the plot and who bears the filling costs.
- If the plot is still being filled, make sure it is suitable for foundation
- If it is not filled, clarify what you are allowed to do. Presumably, a residential basement is the cheaper solution.
Filling to this height costs a five-figure amount, and indeed a higher sum.
Look around on the internet for floor plans of this size, draw furniture to scale, let the tips here sink in, and do you really need that many rooms? For example, a dressing room – do you have totally different sleeping times, is it helpful, or is it only there because that's how it is usually done now? Put it to the test.
Do you need an office, or is it just a closet replacement-hanger-gamer-storage room? Can it be divided more purposefully? The sample floor plans are made so that they somehow fit four people and pick up on trends. But everyone is different. Go through your room program again. Not the number of rooms, but the 4m ceiling-high bookshelves, the sewing table, the 500 shoes that have to go into the wardrobe, the dog shower in the utility room downstairs, etc. Make sure that the bottlenecks that annoy you now do not arise again. For example, you want a normally sized washbasin in the guest WC because you regularly splash yourself at your parents’, you find the 85cm distance between table and wall too little. Then forget the recommended 80cm (which many don’t even observe in their show houses) and try 95cm which you find optimal.
Go through show houses again.
Pressure is a bad advisor.
