Ways to fulfill the building obligation/building deadline in order to build later

I find it very unfortunate how the questioner is being insulted here. I can understand him well, I have a similar case.

I want to garden and live in the garden. This is only possible on a building plot (which is also okay because of sewage, waste collection, mail, etc.). I don’t want to commit to a large loan but rather try to build ecologically at my own pace. To find out how that works, you can’t have something move-in ready within 2 years.

Actually, I find the opposite selfish — those who occupy a building plot, fill it with a rock garden because they actually can’t do anything with a garden, just because apparently having a detached house belongs to “my job, my wife, my boat.”

I’m already taking cover to endure the following tirades of insults against me. But I want to ask whether the way we currently build (more and more living space, sealed surfaces, everything becomes hazardous waste after a few decades) is the right way.

I definitely want to keep my property. I grow fruit trees and invest a lot of time but worry about being restricted in my job choice in the future because of a loan.

That's not a bad attitude at all. But you know in advance that you won't be finished in two years. So you buy a property on which you can do whatever you want. The OP goes about it differently. He tries to cheat and circumvent the agreements (which he knew and accepted) with the seller. Huge difference. That's why no one will attack you either.

Unfortunately, in our area there are now only plots of land with a building obligation or a huge dilapidated house on them. I have tried for a long time to get an undeveloped plot from a private owner. No one sells. Not even kilometers away from my hometown.

I am alone and actually one-room apartment is enough. I find a tiny house as a temporary solution not suitable ecologically and in terms of price/performance ratio. I am now thinking of a yurt. That way I could already be on site during the construction of the proper house and do a lot myself. However, a cotton roof conflicts with the development plan.

And building obligations can be understood. See now where grandmas and grandpas bought and held plots for the grandchildren and nobody wants them. Nobody wants a cityscape like a patchwork quilt and later stress about how building may be done.

I have dealt with the topic of (Rolling) TinyHouse because I definitely saw it as an alternative for myself to the (Single) family house or a small living unit.

Last winter I spent a weekend in a TinyHouse and realized that it is too small for my personal needs.

I also seriously miscalculated what a "reasonable" TinyHouse really costs. From the kit for 15-20K + own work and materials to finally ending up with a planned and finished approximately 100K price tag! Yes, really 100,000 euros for 8.4x2.55m (outside!) + "Loft" The living space calculation for TinyHouses is usually done according to Sylter Maß (baseboard to baseboard).

The trend towards TinyHouses definitely exists. For example, TinyHouse parks are being established.

500K is just not affordable for everyone and not everyone needs that much space (living area).

In the (expensive) city center, you will hardly find TinyHouses because they can hardly contribute to the (desired) densification. Also not in the future.

Approval of (Rolling) TinyHouses alternatively as caravans and/or during construction up to, for example, 3m on trailers as secured loads for transport at an additional cost, then firmly connected to the floor and then, of course, approved by a "normal" building permit...

Building obligation definitely makes sense. How often have I heard in inquiries "we want to keep the plot for the grandchildren in --Ort hunderte km weg-- when they come back." The building obligation drives me into haste and credit.

I have already ruled out a tiny house for myself. In the end, there remains a lot of glued plastic waste for a lot of money as mentioned above. Too little sustainable for a temporary solution.
