Very first floor plan draft of the ground floor

With an estimated 25sqm for the hallway, you're off to a good start.

Yes, the bedroom fits in there (or also in the bathroom). That should give you some food for thought.

Many new builds have these mini ridges. We think it looks better than a tent roof.

It can’t look better than a tent roof, because it is a tent roof. So technically yes, it’s a classic hip roof, but visually it’s a tent roof (for vegans). Neither fish nor tofu.

You can definitely afford a 200 sqm house!

But what you have drawn there on digital paper is not proportional to your desired dimensions.
It's all just smoke and mirrors when you put a slightly wider crib in the bedroom and think it will fit. Your doors are only about 79/75 wide, etc.
Your hallway on the ground floor has rough dimensions of 5.4 x 5.5... 29 sqm minus the two chambers at the entrance... You can dance in the bathroom... any digital person should see that it won't turn out the way it looks.

Great idea, but I'm out!

Those are finally statements I can do something with and work on!

Those are finally statements I can relate to and work with!

And I dare to claim that something is wrong with digitalization when what looks functional there obviously fails analogously.

Even a civil engineer won't exactly iron out a self-created floor plan.

180 sqm and then something like this. Either you take an architect or a general contractor with a good planner.

We were in a similar position to you at the beginning. We made a "rough plan" and a civil engineer was supposed to improve it. What came out was anything but what we wished for.

After that, we went to an architect and I do not regret this step in the slightest.

Even a civil engineer wouldn't really iron out a self-created floor plan.

Unfortunately true, because: approval eligibility is not hindered by awkward room layouts. In this sense, the design is already "finished" (and unfortunately also looks like that to laypeople when professionally drafted). An engineer makes it purely technically buildable, an architect also lectures the client.

Unfortunately true, because: the approval feasibility is not disturbed by awkward room layouts. In this sense, the design is already "finished" (and unfortunately also looks that way to laypeople when professionally drafted). An engineer only makes it technically buildable, an architect also convinces the client otherwise.

How do you come to this generalizing statement? Basically, I agree with you, but not every structural engineer is the same, just as not every architect "convinces you otherwise."

However, we have meanwhile also distanced ourselves from the mentioned structural engineer and will probably go to a planner specialized in single-family houses. Alternatively, I still have a construction company with a planning department up my sleeve, but then I would also have to build the shell construction with them.
