8. Cellar.

YES!

This is a pretty major deal. If you can install a poured concrete
cellar the size of the house, with no electrics/ plaster/ anything else
to keep cost down, then in futuer you can convert the cellar into
habitable and make your house 50% bigger. Thats no small thing.

Its also the one area that can be very very dodgy.

Fancy having it fill with seage because down the road has blocked the
sewers? My sister had this happen three times on a new build house in
Germany.

Making cellars habitable implies running water. Beware of what happens
if it can't run out.

I'd rather use one for storage and a workshop.

Put people up in the roof instead.
