First of all, congratulations on a plot that suits you and where you can imagine living. It really seems not to be a compromise, as is often read with others.
It is also affordable with 70,000 from memory...
What you can save through EL is considerable if you come from the profession yourself.
There is a lot to do. But when I look at the oversized windows and the staircase, which demands a lot from the statics, I doubt the 300,000 in which the ancillary building costs are apparently also included.
I don’t want to say more about costs.
However, you should think about whether to include funds or
ETFs (whatever that is) in the financing. I see only 15,000 euros in equity at the moment — and as much as possible should still be saved because kitchen and garden also need to be paid for.
Then, 30 days of vacation plus 200 overtime hours are not exactly generous to build a house that has an approximate construction time of one year or more in EL. Even if you come from the profession, 12-hour days (then no more overtime can be done) can eventually be very draining. Also with 24
There is not much to say about the current floor plan since a lot will be changed anyway -> staircase, windows.
A site plan with measurements and the house drawn on it would be an advantage, by the way. Orientation: very important ... missing ...
And honestly: the drawings are very hard to read. The dimension lines do not stand out from the actual drawing, that is, the walls, or vice versa. So it is very difficult to tell where the walls actually are.
A few remarks nonetheless on some statements:
Then a guest bathroom or shower, since some relatives often travel over 200 km or simply to have a toilet on the ground floor.
With 15 sleepovers a year, the guest WC should also have a shower, so it should be a bit more spacious than in this draft.
Then large window areas to the garden on the ground floor and in the master bedroom upstairs; the sun stands nicely in the garden from noon and brings a nice light incidence in summer and winter.
What is nice in the living room may be quite bad in the bedroom. Too large window areas in the bedroom mean high temperatures and a spatial feeling that radiates no coziness, protection, or comfort, and even worse: gives none. So what’s the use of a panoramic window in the dressing room if you don’t want to undress there? The same applies to the bathroom.
You cannot do without:
Kitchen and living room size
Yes, you could... you wouldn’t even notice, and if at all, then positively, because 10 meters to the dining table is not exactly nice!
Then a few words about the actual house construction, which I deduce from a few quotes and the draft, referring to #6 by :
You are now 21 and 24... I’m not a fan of building too early, but I don’t want to go into that here.
It is noticeable, however, that more value is placed on a house that personally impresses you than one that works in everyday life.
Surely that may be true if you speak about your sweetheart:
Since we already spend the whole day together except for work and tolerate each other, and above all don’t get bored, don’t run out of topics to talk about, or get annoyed by the other’s tidiness, we are both punctual tidiers and sometimes keep everything too clean.
... but you also have other roles in the house than that of romantic nest building; rather, one should a) also be able to function independently, and b) function in the role of a parent. After all, children are planned.
And you will change, as will your relationship. Not negatively, but differently.
Regarding a) (without getting very personal), one sometimes wants the bathroom for oneself, without the other being able to join across the house. The dressing room should also be planned so that one does not disturb the other when getting up or when ill. Also, an overly open “staircase” to the chill area does not offer enough retreat. With the planned two children, life will be somewhat hectic; friends and schoolmates will stand in the house at some point, who should independently find their way to the children’s rooms.
Regarding b) this quote:
The master bedroom is chosen so large because we like to retreat to the bedroom to be undisturbed by children in the future; therefore, separate bathrooms, the sauna is initially reserved for us; we’ll see if the children still use the sauna later.
I don’t see any reference in this sentence to children and living together with toddlers, school children, or adolescents. Although the house is equipped with generous children’s rooms (in my taste, too large rooms), the first 12 years children are very much in the foreground and also have to be supervised sometimes. There is no “I wish for an evening to ourselves today”, you will probably just drop into bed exhausted after a 14-hour day. The bathroom will be used by small children WITH the parents... children need supervision when brushing teeth, etc.
This also applies to the bathtub and sauna. Why should you withhold comfort from the children if you openly and constantly live it out?
The house is to be built for your future and your shared life as a family — then you should also focus the house planning more on family and not build a house designed for a couple with generously planned two children’s rooms but without consideration.
Perhaps mothers and fathers who deal with the daily up and down the stairs, just for laundry, vacuum cleaner, and cleaning supplies, as well as decoration needs for Christmas and Easter, beverage crates, and old paper storage, will chime in here.
All that takes up space, and some things will grow much more over the years without having to do anything for it.
