I completely agree with you about drying the laundry. But instead of a drying room, where laundry was once stretched across an entire room, the trend is moving towards dryers. If you were to build a spacious room in a basement, the exhaust of the moist air would have to be regulated, not to mention the costs ;) Instead, you could rely on a covered outdoor area – most have a rotary clothesline and for small laundry loads a drying rack. In the small utility room upstairs, we have a wall-mounted thing where sportswear and wool can dry, the rest goes in the dryer. I'd be interested to know how a family of four manages this! I will probably start a separate thread for that :)

Besides, I wonder if the term country bumpkins refers to growing vegetables and fruit on one’s own property. When you spend 8 hours working, most are reluctant to tend their own patch in their free time. Some, including myself, make it manageable: zucchini, arugula, beetroot... next year I can plant in the greenhouse :) Of course, jars are also preserved. A cupboard is enough for those jars. But that’s not the kind of stockpiling practiced after the war, when there was otherwise nothing to eat: back then, people were forced to stockpile and picked apples from the roadside to make compote. These days, fruits from the home garden are rather processed fresh and eaten right away.

I should separate the basement part from the rest here ;) now to be found here:

If the architect says in the first meeting: 540k... in the end it will be >600k ;) What do we want to bet on? We once thought of 600..700k all-in. Currently 950k

That probably depends on the architect.

We had thought 249k and made 245k.

I assume that this is not a prefabricated garage - with 30sqm planned by an architect that matches the country house style, I assume it is solid construction with an accordingly suitable roof and brick cladding.


We have wonderful threads here in the forum that one should browse through in the evening. Among others, this one


I have also just opened a new thread about drying laundry:


If your repayment of 1200 is 30% of your monthly income, it means that you have just under/around 4000€ available for full-time work.
But that also means that you might have to cut back when children are there.
Therefore, you should take to heart potential savings or advice on this - you can save on some house equipment here and there, but not significantly. It might be a thousand here, 2000 there... but in total, you end up with a sparse house that has a basement and over 200 sqm of space but has few features that you would have liked to fulfill.

Go to another architect and talk in advance. Alternatively, a regional builder, if you do not want to win architectural prizes with your house :)

Hi,



but still you can't just apply the full 2000 €/sqm for the basement area. That comes to 160,000 € for the basement! That seems a bit too high to me.

For comparison, we come to total construction costs of around 400 k€ for 180 sqm of living space plus 95 sqm basement (basement with only 2.3 m ceiling height but underfloor heating, plastered walls, all painted and either laminate or tiles).

For 540 k€ he must have installed the golden faucets!

Best regards,

Andreas

Of course you are right - I also find the calculation in #5 exaggerated (and must admit I have only just seen it now), and the fact of lumping a garage and basement together with the living area is questionable. But we also don't know what was communicated. Therefore, I also recommend another architect ;)
