Do I understand correctly that building plot 9 in the building window has the least slope compared to the other plots?
Are building plots 8+9 equivalent to the "second choice" 11-13?
Yes, building plot 9 is a double favorite: your interpretation is correct, and additionally it could be relatively less in demand due to its location opposite a junction. And yes, I also see that it would be comparable to 11 to 13. Plots 25 to 27 have rising driveways, while for 8 to 13 the water would have to be slowed down in front of door and gate (but for 25 to 27 then in front of the terrace door).
Can the slope on the property be leveled, practically with L stones toward the neighboring plot?
People who want to return their brains on their deathbed "with zero kilometers" are heavy users of construction foam and L stones. There are always solutions for people who use their brains. For the said plots, however, it is rather moderate anyway, across the neighbors (the height limits can be read as approximate indicators for sensible ground floor floor heights) it is usually only ten or twenty centimeters (except the eighty between 25 and 26).
So let’s keep in mind this far: 9 and 12 as well as 27 would be my favorite picks, and all the others we have discussed so far at least good consolation prizes. Regarding the intensity of their competition, assume that many of your fellow bidders somewhat naively choose their favorites based on what I would call beginner criteria like maximal southwest gardens.
Regarding the slope, I consider about 1.5-2m once across the plot as the worst case. Far too much to simply ignore, too little to make a proper hillside house.
I recently discussed the 11ants basement rule on "Bauen jetzt" ("With or without basement: a rule as a decision-making tool"). The "worst case" for a slab house is of course the best case for a residential basement house ;-)
We are open whether it becomes a square or rectangular house.
Currently the wish is for a basement with possibly a granny flat as an idea.
Our budget is around +/- €650,000 and we would like to build solidly.
The topography clearly dictates a rectangle with a distinct house axis parallel to the contour lines (and therefore also best aligned with the access road). A residential basement practically implies a “stone” underground floor, even if it continues above possibly in wood. As always, I recommend making the building method decision only during the resting phase of the dough.
The idea was that we would be cheaper if we contract the trades separately (please correct me if I am wrong here).
This is the best way for first-time building owners to pay dearly in learning fees. Use the forum search for my posts with the keywords "Hausbau-Fahrplan", "Gerddieter", "Einzelvergabe", "Eigenvergabe", "Ausschreibung" as well as "Regiestunden". Then I don’t have to tack on reading material for a whole weekend here ;-) (because I have already explained all of that in great detail).
