Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

...Covers for the dowels, so that they don't show through later?

We pushed most of them in ourselves (got a few bags of them from the house builder). Technically a piece of cake but still not to underestimate the effort. There are quite a lot. Is self-performance possible?

So 500 Styrofoam discs (dowels) including matching Styrofoam cutters cost about 25 euros in specialist shops. The builder really shouldn’t worry about that.

And as I said, especially in the area of ETICS, rip-offs are very often observed. What is supposed to cost 136 per sqm?

I would like to see the calculation in detail. Exactly the same crap as with photovoltaic systems.

But don’t worry, the construction is currently collapsing. And really so. In 6 months at the latest, you will be able to build for half the price.

And please write me the exact material costs for 1 sqm of ETICS and the labor costs.

A realistic price would maybe be 50 euros per sqm. And that is already a lot of money for it.

Is that satire?
Material depending on insulation 30-45 euros / m²
Labor for all work steps 30-40 euros / m²
Excl. scaffolding

Since we are in a house-building forum, I of course expect contradiction.

What do you mean by contradiction? The example just compares apples and oranges. Of course, a condominium is a possible lifestyle concept. But honestly, one has to say that a condominium in a central location with a garden and a woodland area is very exclusive. And also above average in terms of affordability. For almost everyone, a condominium means at best a balcony. This is simply because a building can only have one ground floor. Then there is often an elevated ground floor, where you also don’t have a garden. I think the last few years have especially shown how important it is to have some space for yourself. Whether closed cafés or locked playgrounds, those who have nothing at home were left empty-handed.

Don't let yourself get provoked... He disqualified himself as a serious interlocutor already with his first nickname (out of 4 or 5)...

But honestly, you have to say that an apartment in a central location with a garden and a wooded area is quite exclusive. And also above average in terms of affordability. For almost everyone, condominium apartment means at best a balcony. This is due to the fact that a building can only have one ground floor. Then there is often a raised ground floor, which also does not have a garden. I think the last few years have shown how important it is to have some space for yourself.

You are right there. But a ground floor apartment with a garden is not as exclusive and expensive as you think. The apartment there was the last one on the ground floor in the entire building that was still left, since before Corona the ground floor was particularly unpopular. Now, of course, that has changed. And yes, an apartment in a new building in the city center costs as much as a house on its own plot on the outskirts of the city. Everyone just has different priorities there. I also cannot imagine moving into such an apartment now, but certainly in my mid to late 60s. Because then you simply have more time for the nice things in life (no lawn mowing/snow shoveling/putting out trash bins/cleaning the stairwell/paying high additional costs etc.).
