Land planning / floor plan planning

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 first let the playful child run around unguided.

Good that you mention that explicitly!

I think I once read somewhere in the forum that VBH uses drywall in the upper floor.

In the sloped attic (as well as under the truss ceilings of Anstattvillen), lightweight drywall partitions are the first choice and are actually only criticized by the Dickstein faction, for whom this apparently constitutes a violation of the piglet Smart fairy tale dogma. Technically, I see this in a differentiated way and, in principle, have no objection. It saves labor costs and does not harm the quality of the results.

Good that you explicitly mention that!

Yes, I see your current sketch studies as "thinking out loud," where know-it-all nitpicking only hinders development.

The good man thinks that moving or omitting a wall would not be a problem.

Could be, he actually explained it differently. But as you already say: it doesn't matter for now, because it’s not even clear who is going to build at all. I’m not in a hurry and have nothing to endure.

What does flexibility have to do with one's reputation? Unless one wants to be considered inflexible

What does flexibility have to do with one's reputation?

Routines ensure quality. Whoever gives them up paves the way for complications. Defects accumulate, reputation suffers. A smart general contractor therefore does not offer his customers any opportunities to intervene in "core parts of his product philosophy" and, to put it somewhat exaggeratedly, only lets them choose the shades. And/or he opens a second brand line for individual builders who can then compose their wildest mixed McMansion Hells to their heart's content.

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

Most companies do that nowadays. That way the house stays dry. Only with city villas is masonry done upstairs due to structural reasons.

What does flexibility have to do with its reputation?

see Flexibility leads to changes. Changes are not exactly calculable, they cause hassle, break the routine, and errors creep in. Once mistakes are made, the reputation is quickly ruined. We have several Viebrockhaus houses: most are the Maxime 300. You can tell despite individual changes from the modular catalog. Everything is somehow ... the same. I know two of these houses from the inside. They stand next to each other, built independently. Same floor plan, one house has a partition wall between kitchen and dining area. The experience stories of one building family and a chat with a craftsman do not make Viebrockhaus stand out more positively compared to other general contractors. I see the rigidity as a disadvantage. The built-in standard is the same as with Heinz von Heiden or our house. You can upgrade the standard with package x or y. But even in that package, there isn’t a wealth of options available. And individuality then really costs. They charge well for changes to the routine. In my opinion, all of this is disproportionate. But well, everyone has to decide for themselves. There are people who need regulated standard. But if you want some individuality in the house, which is more than a small entrance canopy, then this is the wrong place.
