Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

The last carry-over effects will be that :) There are some companies (hearsay) that are indeed having problems from mid-23 onwards because so far only a fraction of orders exist

This will occur quite broadly; it's no coincidence that people are currently talking about the perfect storm in the real estate market. And since global transport capacity is more or less restored, all those energy-intensive components will probably be substituted very quickly. The usual 20%-25% price increases from local suppliers will then also find their limit somewhere. Or they will simply manufacture themselves in the rougher commuter belt of the EU to be able to exist locally at all.

One can then expand the garage or have the garden beautified in 2024 2025 ^^

Crystal ball. In China, millions of deaths are looming, with nearly 5 million currently infected with Covid in Shanghai alone. The next supply crisis is already threatening.

Inflation will be significantly above 2% until 2025.

Ukraine can still lose the war next year, and we will face a massive gas problem in winter 2023/24, especially in industry.

Anyone who commits today that 2025 will be much better is gambling very, very high.

Inflation will be significantly above 2% until 2025.

Possible. But I’d like to point out that producer prices fell by about 4% month-on-month in both October and November. This could continue, and a few months later this "deflation" (hehe) will work its way through to the customers. And then?

Would you like to reveal the manufacturer?

The company Ophelders from Erkelenz. Obviously, I cannot provide long-term results.

After we gave some thought to a terrace roof, it is now installed. Aluminum with glass (8mm), 495 cm x 400 cm as a cabrio version (you can slide individual glass panels and avoid heat buildup in summer) and 6 LEDs for 8,500 euros. Point foundations were also included. The under awning was measured and will be installed next year. It is electric and will cost about 3,500€ more.

Sounds very OK. We recently ordered from Schmidt Überdachungen and will pay 10,200€ for 5x3.5m with laminated safety glass, under-roof awning, and 6 LEDs. However, without the cabrio ;) Topic screed: From Saturday afternoon to Friday afternoon, just under 1000 kWh have passed through the electricity meter. Besides the Hotboy (since Monday), there is also a 500W frost guard in the garden shed (probably only relevant for the first few days) and a Kroll TK30 construction dryer with 0.63kW (running almost continuously, only at night the bucket fills up). We can roughly estimate both together at 100 kWh, which would leave 900 kWh for the Hotboy since Monday. For that, I found the 14-15 degrees in the house rather not so warm. On the other hand, 130 sqm of screed had to be heated first plus two concrete ceilings with 20cm each.
