Initial ideas for building a small house on a backlot

ypg - what is your stupid answer supposed to mean?

It is not "stupid" (what kind of youth word is that???:eek:), but tells you that you should not keep sticking to your misinformation or incorrect knowledge. I wonder if you talk to your realtor like that too.

when you repeat/put the statement to the point again,

Well, you didn’t. It tended to be an endless loop.

That’s how it is, you forgot "and partly admirably patient" ;-)

… not to forget the thick skin. A discussion about how to distribute 5 sqm of hallway is very poorly placed in the subforum "Contracts".

There are several small 3-room houses here in the forum, for example or us as well.
Small means very thorough planning, it must fit on the plot and be approved. The rooms should be planned in the right cardinal direction, garden access and barbecue area as well.
Basement why? Plan the room sizes

But not that small after all ;). We have 105 sqm for two people and after 2 years of living here, we are very satisfied with it. We don’t need more, but I didn’t want less either. Our utility room is just under 9 sqm, that’s the only room I would like to have 1 to 2 sqm bigger. But it works like this too, you just have to arrange it efficiently.

We are two people with 105 sqm and have been here for 2 years

:) We have had about 62 sqm for several years, approx. 13 sqm bedroom, 10 sqm bathroom, 2.5 sqm storage, 6 sqm office, 30 sqm living kitchen, no hallway - all rooms open off the kitchen. The only thing that bothers us is that the office is too small and the bathroom has an incredible amount of unused space.... we would preferably like to have 80 sqm (larger office, smaller bathroom plus utility room) max. 100. Did you build "normally" or prefabricated house? What is the general experience here with requests for modifications to the floor plan and so on?

We have had approximately 62sqm for several years now: about 13sqm bedroom, 10sqm bathroom, 2.5sqm storage, 6sqm office, 30sqm living kitchen, no hallway - all rooms branch off from the kitchen. The only thing that bothers us is that the office is too small and the bathroom contains an incredible amount of unused space... we would preferably like to move to 80sqm (larger office, smaller bathroom plus utility room), maximum 100sqm.

Did you build "normally" or a prefabricated house? What is the general experience here with requests for adjustments to the floor plan and so on?

We had it built stone by stone. And we were initially open to both options. But with the prefabricated house, it would have taken at least 1 year longer; the ones considered had over 1 year lead time.
So we had first contact with the general contractor in November 2020, signed the contract in Jan. 21, demolition in April 21, construction started May 21, move-in October 21. It could have been 2 to 3 weeks faster if Corona had not delayed us in between.

Can you please explain that in more detail?

Even the debt service alone makes it a luxury to put a dacha on a standard single-family house plot. For that, this plot is about 50% too large. By the way: the "building encumbrance" is, as far as I remember, not yet clarified ...

On the websites of many providers, you can read "somewhere" how much they charge per meter. I assume you know which provider is responsible for you, so you can research the amount in advance if you want.

Electricity + water + gas/district heating we are at (250/m + 3400 + 250/m up to 50m length)

For that, this plot is about 50% too large.

Too large, that's true, a smaller one is unfortunately not currently available - or not cheaper. Maybe something will still come on the market.

the "building encumbrance" is, as far as I remember, not clarified yet ...

That's right, thanks. I’ll quote directly from the communication with the broker here: " The plot must be developed as a rear building. For this purpose, a building encumbrance has already been registered, which ensures the development. "
