Procedure for constructing a new single-family house on an existing plot

Sorry, in case the question has already been answered: Is there already a cost plan for this draft?

No, the cost plan does not exist yet. It would be really great if I could bring along various change requests and optimization options for the next appointment with the architect, besides those we have already considered.

On the surface, only two things stand out to me: the (thanks to the window distribution) three-family house south facade, and the bricked-up part under the basement stairs. Otherwise solid home cooking – but with significant similarities to the propped-up catalog house, as the general contractor could also pull out of the drawer. For that, you wouldn't need an architect without quotation marks ;-)

Basically, I unfortunately have some doubts whether this house size is affordable. Depending on the region, I see about 750K plus/minus 50K here, without suddenly finding a bomb or anything like that.

Otherwise, what else stands out:
- the drainage of the bathroom is questionable. Maybe better swap with [Kind1].
- Substructure of the terrace - what is that supposed to look like?

On the surface, only two things stand out to me: the (thanks to the window distribution) triplex south facade, and the bricked-up section under the basement stairs. Otherwise solid, no-frills fare – albeit with significant similarities to the elevated catalog house that the general contractor could also just pull out of the drawer. For that, you wouldn’t need an architect without quotation marks ;-)

Solid is certainly not bad to begin with...
What is the noticeable or "bad" thing about the "triplex south facade" and the storage room under the stairs?
There are certainly similarities to some prefabricated houses, we have noticed that too, even though our requirements are very well implemented and the house already stands out somewhat from the "normal rectangular house" through the bay window, aviary, and terrace. However, we would be open to things that differentiate it from the catalog house. Do you have any idea how it could become a bit more individual?

- The bathroom drainage is questionable. Maybe it’s better to swap with Child1.
- Substructure terrace – what is that supposed to look like?

Thanks for the hints, we will pass those on as questions. Basically, I like the layout, having a view from the bathroom and somewhat separating parents and children through the bathroom.


What do you generally think about the orientation of the rooms? The parent area gets a lot of sun even if it is not used for very long during the day.
Furthermore, we are bothered by the proximity of the terrace to the southwest boundary. But right now, I’m not sure how we want to improve that.

I only see a waiver announced twice here: for the facade, on the "copy & paste" of the windows onto the next floors, and for the storage room, on not continuing the wall after the staircase changes direction. The downpipe comes down in the corner next to the seating area. This is not only a manageable detail but also the trigger for the drawing slave of Princess to become cuckoo *LOL*

I only see two instances of waiver mentioned here: on the facade, the "copy & paste" of the windows to the next floors, and in the storage room, the omission of extending the wall after the staircase changes direction. The downpipe comes down in the corner next to the seating area.

Ok, thank you. I will take these topics to the architect. Actually, we are still missing something like the architect's "touch" that sets us apart from the catalog house. Any ideas?

Are there any suggestions here? Would it be possible to submit the building application for the garage late/separately and place the garage closer to the street over the building boundary towards the west, and then move the house further towards the north?
