Can you roughly estimate the additional costs of planning a knee wall instead of a dwarf wall?
Based on your thread history, you apparently belong to those who believe that by searching for parametric "codes" one can uncover wisdom or at least essential eureka insights. Believe an old druid: that won’t work. And if you want to surprise me, then show me a case where a dwarf wall would be the better choice (assuming there is one). Where knee walls are allowed, I wouldn’t use a dwarf wall (the only exception: occasionally additionally to the knee wall, for example in areas of toilets or bathtubs or showers in sloped roof bathrooms).
Is it possible to estimate the cost differences for the following examples:
Single-family house with gable roof
Dwarf wall 45 degrees roof pitch
Vs
Knee wall 80 cm 45 degrees roof pitch
Vs
Knee wall 1.60 m 35 degrees roof pitch
Seriously?: no. The selection of apples and pears in your comparison is textbook failed ;-)
and I recommend you read up at the following four (the fourth is the same in all cases) places: as well as and
