Whether it is feasible, you have to know yourself. Roughly take for the house: €2,500 * sqm + ancillary building costs of €30,000-50,000. In addition, outdoor facilities, kitchen, furniture, floors. Then you roughly have a house price. Your net household income (minus commitments/loans) multiply by 108. Then you roughly have an overview of whether you can afford it.

If you find a house you like and you want to build it, then talk to the construction company. It doesn't cost anything. But don't let them push anything on you. No pre-contracts because it gets cheaper, etc.

We set out on the path about 1 year ago. Looked at some things and then weighed our options. Talked to an architect and contacted two construction companies. Then visited several model homes. In Sep. 2019 went to the open house day and signed the contract. Then waited for the building permit. In May 20 it finally started. In Dec. the house handover took place. :cool:

Don’t downsize a catalog house just because you like one but find it too big. Either choose a smaller catalog house and enlarge it if necessary. If that doesn’t fit, plan individually. But downsizing functioning and calculated standard designs is technically and economically nonsense. Laypeople can’t even imagine how inexperienced many house sellers are. In conversation, "almost anything" is possible because the guys don’t know the technical background and limits. After signing, nothing can be saved anymore, only damage can be limited at best.

Thank you for the hint! He just meant that there are certain grids according to which it would be checked where one can reduce size so that it later also fits with the statics.

As 11ant already wrote, talk to the construction company beforehand. We also changed an existing design. It was easy to implement because we simply pushed one wall backwards. This eliminated a covered terrace and made the interior rooms larger. It cost "zero" euros extra. Since the walls were already positioned quite similarly before anyway.

No. Planning grids have nothing at all to do with the statics, but explaining the little would go too far. Equating grid steps with safe reduction steps is a misconception, which roughly corresponds to the average half-knowledge level of house sellers. Moreover, "prefabricated" houses have not been rigidly bound to planning grids for quite some time (about 30 years) and are nowadays "made to measure".
