Building moisture after moving in - experiences

Oh, so the plaster comes later? Oh, and masonry (not glued) is of course immediately bone dry?.

Yeah, yeah....

If you're going to be nitpicky, you should consider the overall context.
House construction used to take a long time only because the house dried out over the winter. That means a long construction period only makes sense if there's already something that can dry, and that is usually the interior plaster and the concrete screed.

All the time wasted beforehand just goes unused into the interest-free period of the loan.

But that's not what this thread is about; rather, it talks about experiences after the handover of the house.

What overall context are you talking about now?

I did say that before the screed there are still trades that need to dry – and that includes masonry as well as plaster. You need to read properly like the other colleague – it has nothing to do with being petty.

By the way, I never said it was a must – it does not harm the construction in any way, but it is simply positive for later (to make the reference to AFTER the construction).

Hi,

Here's how it is with me:
Construction time from January to moving in September. Two hygrometers set up, both show a humidity level of max 50%. Usually, the reading is somewhere between 30 and 40%.

We ventilate in the morning, early evening, and before going to bed. On weekends, quite often. I think we’re doing well with that, since only two of us live in the house and both work, so we don’t produce much water vapor during the day.

That there is still a lot of residual moisture in the plaster, I found out after I drilled into an electrical cable and had to chip open the wall to install a junction box. Dry outside, moist inside.

Solid construction, 150 sqm, Poroton, air-water heat pump, no ventilation system. EL electricity...
