"Dr. Google" more or less provides the following

Sign G - mobility in road traffic is severely impaired,
Sign aG - exceptional disability in walking, movement is severely restricted

Merlin, you build first - the shell is usually the factor where you still save money

Ok - and how do you justify that? It's not that I don't want to believe you - but with an explanation it would be more understandable to me.

I have to agree with Sebastian on one point, though. It is not the right approach to first create a plan and then look for a suitable plot based on that. That often goes wrong and then trouble is inevitable. It’s better to first look for a plot – without BU/GU/GÜ, then you remain master of your decisions – and then see what kind of development is possible.

Many roads lead to Rome. That may be true for 95% of home builders, but we were already aware that we need special requirements for the plot.

The conversation with the architect today was very successful, finally someone from the "profession" and not a salesperson. I think the decision is made for us to build with an architect.

For that, we now have someone at hand who can help us with the plot selection, i.e., inquire beforehand at the building authority whether we are allowed to build like that and, if necessary, apply for a special permit.

So if anyone has a plot left over, just get in touch with me.

These explanations could have been given earlier Ok, so you are planning a 3-family house. Or a single-family house with 2 granny flats. And you are surprised by the steep calculation of the BUs?

Or a single-family house with 2 granny flats. And then you wonder about the proud calculation of the BUs?

More like that. But as stated at the beginning, that was not fixed. The approach was always a single-family house with about 120 sqm of living space and a living basement. (Granny flat for parents-in-law). The idea in the attic came to us later, since there was space and you could arrange the already planned rooms so that they are separable.

But you’re right, somehow everyone missed the mark on the calculation. Most strongly with the living basement, but also with the housing units people always struggled. Sometimes 2 heating systems were planned and things like that.

Although I still find it hard to see any cost driver in the idea. Take the attic, for example; we planned 4 rooms, kitchen, bathroom. Now we arrange the rooms so that 2 rooms, kitchen, bathroom form one unit and 2 children’s rooms separately; we do not plan an additional children’s bathroom.
