Suitable floor plans for all our requirements

So, we found another floor plan that we like very much. We made minor changes so that it better fits our ideas.

Special house designs
Design number 4 - Point 114.2

What do you especially like? Why?
Central living area, because that is where family life....

You always play that back. Have you ever understood the point of always copying?

Yes, somehow there isn’t really a clear line visible.

It is important to us that it meets our requirements.

... also sounds like "there is nothing concrete yet".

It isn’t yet. As written in the other post, it concerns a construction area that is concretely planned, but we still have to apply for it. So there is still some time left.

By the way, we looked at the Flair 124 and were very impressed by it. The Flair 134 would definitely be an option. With our modifications of roller blinds and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, that comes to €175,140 including earthworks and foundation slab. I will write more about it later.

It is important to us that it meets our requirements.

That is exactly what I meant: to correspond to a common denominator, which is hardly noticeable in the diversity of your examples. The gallery of examples appears quite haphazardly assorted.

Somehow, I am wondering how the 280 TEUR is supposed to be sufficient. Is that the budget for everything? So including the land, additional acquisition costs, and ancillary construction costs?

What do you pay for a square meter of land that you might like?

That’s exactly what I meant: it’s hard to see a common denominator in your examples given how different they are. The gallery of examples looks pretty mixed and colorful.

Are they really that different? I’m not that aware of it. What we currently have in mind is at least quite similar to the previous floor plan?

An additional requirement has been added: a vestibule. One reason why the floor plans are not cohesive is that there are two people with quite different tastes involved. One finds the vestibule unnecessary, the other essential. Another reason is that developing floor plans is a process in which we keep learning. Otherwise, we would implement one of the proposed floor plans for the ground floor. Possibly the master bedroom could be downstairs or alternatively a guest room. Regarding the upper floor plan, we want to keep the walls as they are. But the middle room upstairs could become a children's room, as well as the guest and master bedroom. The fact that the rooms are quite different bothers us here, but otherwise it is functionally what we are looking for.

You always go through the same spiel. Have you ever understood the point of always copying?

The point is supposed to be that the rooms upstairs are rather functional and that communal life takes place in the central room. Or what are you getting at?

What do you pay for a square meter of land that you might actually like?

It should be around €150/m². Whether that's accurate is a good question.

Here’s my calculation, which you are welcome to correct. The house with the extras we want (roller shutters and underfloor heating in the bathroom) costs €175,000. The plot costs €50,000. So together €225,000. 10% additional construction costs make €247,500. A double carport costs €13,400 at Town & Country. Then another €15,000 for the driveway, garden, hedge, and so on. That brings us to €275,900. The fitted kitchen then makes €282,900. Which items have I forgotten?

€280,000 is the target sum we are aiming for. The loan we were offered applies to a sum of €297,000. More is possible within the scope of our income, but I would like to avoid that.
