Land planning / floor plan planning

I am trying - really!

It should please you! First, see who will actually build your little house. If it's your favorite Viebrockhaus, then you can toss your ideas in the trash anyway. If it is to become a plan with which you want to request offers, it is enough... As already said: I would first move the stairs.

At a eaves height of 4.50m, you will only be able to place the shower against the interior wall. So it needs to be replanned again ;) And basically, the showers in your designs always seem relatively small to me (compared to the size of the house). What width are you planning for the shower?

You should like it!

Yeah sure, it has to please me in the end. But when you do something like this for the first time, you’re not wrong to take such advice. There will be 100 things that I think would please me in a 2D floor plan – but either don’t work at all or just aren’t sensible... Mistakes will happen, but I would like to avoid the “simple” ones. By now, there must be some “rules” that have proven to be sensible.

Why shouldn’t I be able to do that with Viebrockhaus? The man from Viebrockhaus said that inside you can move the walls however you want – basically, you only have to decide on the outer dimensions and roof pitch in the end – at least that’s how I understood it?! Do you think they don’t do it that way at all?

Ah, the eaves height... I thought if you bring the shower far enough inside, it would work. The shower here in the floor plan is now 1.00 x 1.00 meters – before it was 1.20 x 0.90 – those are the sizes from the Viebrockhaus floor plans. In my floor plan, the shower tray is 65 cm away from the outer wall – but I understand, I then collide with the 2-meter line here. Not being able to stand in the shower wouldn’t be so good ;)

Phew, I thought I would get a compliment

At the moment, you won't get any comments from me on your plans - I see you in a fidgeting phase, and according to my understanding of pedagogy, you let the playful child run freely for now.

But if you do something like this for the first time, it’s not a bad idea to take such advice. There will be 100 things that I think I would like in a 2D floor plan – but either don’t work at all or just don’t make sense... Mistakes will happen, but I would like to avoid the "simple" ones. By now, there must be some "rules" that have proven to be sensible.

Do you want to plan your house yourself and not through an architect?

The man from Viebrockhaus said that inside you can move the walls however you want – in the end you basically only have to decide on exterior dimensions and roof pitch etc. – at least that’s how I understood it?! Do you think they don’t do it like that at all?

The gentleman means that it wouldn’t be a problem to move or omit a wall. And certainly you can shift several walls internally (WC 20cm bigger, utility room wall stretched 30cm towards the kitchen...). But in principle, Viebrockhaus only works with its standard houses. That means for you: pick a house from the catalog and adjust the walls a bit. Of course, not load-bearing ones. Viebrockhaus is a general contractor... I’ve said that before. General contractors differ: one is flexible here, another there. Where flexibility plays a role, mistakes can happen. Viebrockhaus cares a lot about its reputation. That’s why they are less flexible than, for example, others.

I believe I read somewhere in the forum that VBH uses drywall partitions on the upper floor. In that case, moving walls would actually be less of a problem since they are only room dividers.
