Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Above all, it's quite straightforward since there is no master craftsman requirement. If we weren't almost at the other end of the country from each other, we could do it together as a side job.
Although, we would never work but rather engage in social discourse. The client would have to be very desperate for that.

We divide Germany into North and South, like Aldi. And apprentices and employees are responsible for the work, right? The boss arrives with the pickup truck ("I'm a landscaping gardener and need to be able to tow a mini excavator") and takes the responsibility ;)

I have had a public transport subscription since I was 10 years old. I love it. But we also live in a big city. I once lived briefly in a small town, and there you couldn’t even get to the neighboring town by bus outside of my working hours. In some places, it’s a disaster.

I really put in a lot of effort again, and maybe it also helped that some people canceled their projects. But I have found an energy consultant! Now only the tiler is missing.

Hi,

Yes, on a defined and prepared route with vehicles moving at bicycle speed. That’s a start, yes, but unfortunately not much more. Autonomous driving will come, that’s for sure! But I am very uncertain about when.

Best regards,

Andreas

I work for the company and handle a small part of the parts procurement for the project partially. There's intense work going on. Currently, it fails because of semiconductors (computing power in the car), sensors, and data about routes. These things will ALWAYS drive on a defined route (a bus line doesn’t do it any differently either). I think in 5 years we will see this more often in serial operation. No one minds if there’s a bus on the bus route with or without a driver :D Individual traffic will take longer.

One must not forget that development cycles are shortening because a lot is outsourced and many things are worked on in parallel. Technologies are being brought to market faster and faster.

Good day, may I ask a question?

energetic quality of the building envelope ht

What values do your houses have there?

And how good or bad is:

0.34 - Construction according to [Energieeinsparverordnung] with 36.5cm aerated concrete from 2020.

Primary energy 12kWh, final energy 7kWh.

We have 48 kWh/m²/a.
36.5 thermal standard from Ytong, above the base slab "only" 8.5cm polystyrene WLG035 and towards the roof 20cm mineral wool WLG035, windows Ug 0.7.
Nothing special then. An upgrade to 42cm thermal standard or the better insulating brick Thermsuper in 36.5 would have brought us to 43 kWh/m²/a...

You are wrong there. But it is still quite a way from KfW55 or KfW40(+).
