The costs are shocking... Today you almost have to be a millionaire...
no, you don’t have to.
The basement should be used as a laundry room, wine cellar, heating room, and storage space...
Storage space is expensive. Anyone who can buy wine suitable for aging nowadays (consumption wine is only good for about 2 years) also has the cash.
Building castles in the air, gladly big and even bigger, anyone can do that. But with a bit of realism, knowing that everything has its price, you can also approach building a house.
This includes saying goodbye to old habits. This includes the basement, which is just too expensive for storing some goods. Besides, a living area, especially if kept open, is qualitatively valuable even under 50sqm.
You can wash laundry in a room on the upper floor (where the laundry is generated) and technical equipment can be installed at ground level. And that saves €50,000.
If you then have a big desire for children, the children’s rooms just have to be a bit smaller.
has 5 children and is having an affordable house built. Without a basement. She had previously created a room program and a cost target.
Quite sobering somehow... Does a partial basement make any savings?
nothing to hardly anything. Unless you have a sloping plot.
