Hi!
The following:
We want to build a single-family house. It should be a prefabricated house in timber frame construction.
We already have a building plot in the village center in sight and are about to buy it. However, I want to make sure that we can actually put our dream house on this plot first.
There is still a house in poor condition, a barn, and a masonry double garage with a laundry room on the plot.
We plan to demolish the barn and put the house there.
But the double garage with the extra room is in our way.
Now we have two options.
1. We demolish the garage and build our house (which is not yet decided) new, floor plans as in the catalog.
- I would prefer not to do this because the garage is probably worth around €20,000.
2. We somehow integrate the garage into the construction of the single-family house.
- I would prefer this.
Regarding 2.
Is that even feasible with a prefabricated house? If yes, how could this affect the cost of the house?
Does anyone here have experience with this or can give me their assessment?
Furthermore, I wonder if it makes sense to bring an architect, who is not involved in the construction, to the plot to check the conditions and possibilities on site.
I do not yet know which manufacturer I will build with. But I would still like to know in advance about the possibilities, problems, etc. that could arise due to the plot.
Best regards
