Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

I would say that you are spreading dangerous nonsense here. If you don't properly heat the screed, you lose all warranty, it can crack, absorb water, etc. Just set it to 40°C and let it hum, I've never heard such nonsense...

1. It depends on the house. 2. I heated the screed properly. 3. I "laid" the screed in EL, calcium sulfate screed CAF-C35-F7. You also have to differentiate between functional heating and drying heating. In the past, after laying the screed, people just opened the windows for 3 months, today everything has to be done quickly. If the screed layer or HB tells you that the screed has to glow at 55°, that is just ridiculous in a KfW40 house with underfloor heating.

That's how heating up works. You shouldn't use the drill holes for that anyway, even if they were connected, as they are not designed for this extraction capacity. The drilling fox then promptly cancels the warranty.

Could you please justify this or provide a source? Thanks.

for example, we only have 80 years and believe me: we can sleep very well with the small financing rate plus lease. If everything goes according to plan, we will be done in 5 years (a total of 14 years financing) and will have about €200 lease "to deal with".

€200 is your lease as of today. When was the last inflation adjustment? If it has not yet taken place, it can hit you at any time – another major disadvantage of leasehold. So you can assume that by retirement you won’t be paying €200, but €200 plus all the inflation from 2013 until then.

...

now lots of sympathy please!!

I am already feeling for you, even though it will only be happening to us soon. The screed has just been freshly laid and will be heated in January with a mobile heater. We also drilled.

A few more words about price increases...

Xella is raising prices by about 20% starting from 1.1.22. Brickworks as well. Here are a few excerpts from the price catalogs (officially published on the homepage): 2022 and 2023. Prices have risen by up to 80% - especially hollow bricks for interior construction... :eek: I have marked in red the bricks we have built with. Of course, not all interior walls were built with 11 cm bricks. For load-bearing walls, we used the 24 cm TS 1.2, for the garage the 17 cm TS 1.2. I am curious what the shell construction would cost us in 2023?

All plants are doing it in unison from January... Partly hidden by different increases in surcharges (toll, crane unloading, energy surcharge, ...) Wienerberger, for example, also has 20% overall. Creaton, as a large roof tile manufacturer, for example, is making 12.5%... That will be really tough at the beginning of the year. Concrete is becoming 30 euros per cbm net more expensive, which in most cases is over 40%, since in many areas the base price of concrete is still below 100 euros. Additionally, toll, diesel, energy, and during the cold season also with a seasonal surcharge. Depending on the region, you then easily end up at 150 euros per cbm upwards...
