Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Well, then the puzzle is simply how to manage the 20,000 rotations without the finger breaking. :p

Does anyone of you know definitively whether the original plans to apply the electricity price cap based on the --> forecasted <-- consumption have been changed? If I understand a hint from the Hamburg dignitaries ;-) correctly, the --> actual <-- consumption will now be taken as the basis, see quote. It seems to be different for gas.

Quote: "For electricity prices, the actual consumption is to be taken into account. In the annual statement, the prices that resulted from the capping are shown at the end."

I can't find anything about the target group "new build" on Google.

The skilled labor shortage is a tricky issue. The new Aldi around the corner was built in record time; there was no sign of a skilled labor shortage. In the future, it will be inevitable to bring in skilled workers from abroad, a practice that is already standard in the industry and in larger construction projects.

Seeing a discount store or supermarket as a benchmark is wrong in my opinion... They are simply pushed aside after 15-20 years and rebuilt...

A new school is being built here right now... the only German thing on the construction site is the name of the construction company on the crane... whether that can be the way... I don’t think so

With rising interest rates, we don't need skilled workers in construction for the next 2 years anyway.

Just stumbled upon this: The ECB raises by 0.5%... For about three weeks now (estimate), at least construction interest rates have been stagnant - or? (I recently subscribed to Klein's daily newsletter :D) - for laypeople like me: Can you roughly work with that? (Of course, my potential own interest rate is quite different again, but a few weeks ago we were already strongly around 4% instead of 3.12 for 10 years...)

Otherwise, daily price increases for all energy-related trades are rolling in (building materials trade) - 10-15% across the board with rather spikes upwards than downwards... But rumor has it that at least steel will continue to fall.

I'm not really active here yet, but at least I diligently read everything again :)

We had the option of a plot of land from the city in the summer, but due to the extremely high cost estimates from a solid house builder and an architect (over 4,000 turnkey per sqm without the land in the Hanover region) we decided against it again... Now we have nevertheless decided to dare it - with a completely different approach. The plot is bought and the preliminary planning with the manufacturer is going very well - I hope to maybe create a thread about our floor plans and ideas this year. I am already looking forward to your feedback!

Warm pre-Christmas greetings
