Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

The old orders from some companies seem to have been worked through by now and the demand is not so stable.

For my husband and me it would be helpful if this also extended to landscapers and pavers. From them we received almost no offers or only rejection offers ... at the moment there seems to be no interest in designing round and semicircular shapes, especially in sandstone color. Without exception, everyone wanted to confine us to square, practical, gray.

I recently saw the first job requests from garden landscapers on EKA. The air is getting thinner, and after all the trouble we've had in recent years finding companies, I don’t think that’s so bad. We are currently once again annoyed with our plumber, who simply does not complete a job, and as a result, we are stuck in an endless waiting loop and cannot apply for the subsidies.

We have found one, but in the meantime, I am starting to do quite a bit myself. At least the rough work. For this, we have now also bought a tipper trailer.

We have now also specially bought a tipping trailer for this.

No wonder construction costs are skyrocketing when everyone buys themselves a tipping trailer! :D

Tipper trailers are a great thing. Although next time I would probably still do without the tipping function, the extra weight simply makes a difference in the 1.5t class and you don’t often drive multiple times and just want to unload quickly. What I would definitely pay attention to again is the side loading with a forklift, meaning wheels under the bed and not beside it.

PS Construction costs: Roof battens 30x50 are now available again for 72c net per running meter. They used to be almost €2...

Plaster in broomstroke finish +1000€... Is there a lot of extra effort behind that?

OT:

From 17.10 the exterior plaster is supposed to be applied... I personally see that critically...
Do I have any way to forbid the contractor from doing that? It is said that below 5° it should not be done and the drying time is at least 14 days.

Thank you
