Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Crazy. I can't imagine that the single-family house construction boom will continue to hold up because of this. Considering the order books, it has to crash hard by the end of 2022 at the latest.

We were also thinking about building about half a year ago... We could have gotten a nice plot for 30k including ancillary purchase costs, but even then we were already hesitant because of the total costs. Shortly after, the topic was completely discarded as interest rates rose so rapidly. In the meantime, it's been settled anyway thanks to the great offer of an existing house, but now we actually couldn't build anymore otherwise.

We are still desperately searching for an architect - hopefully the glimmer of hope will come true and the search will finally be over - and also for a construction company to carry out the work - there is hope here, but communication is difficult to nonexistent -.

The current situation - at least for us - is still a pure plea and begging for an audience. Emails are not answered, calls are not answered - I assume because they are busy at the moment - but also not returned. Considering that the single-family house market should actually be booming at the end of the year, the construction companies are still very little service-oriented. Chasing after them annoys me greatly.

I seriously don’t want a freight truck sent all across Germany just for four reinforcement mesh mats for a small pool.

Don’t worry, of course that doesn’t happen. The routes are collected and planned in such a way that it’s worth it and the truck is as full as possible. So it makes no difference whether your local building materials dealer or you yourself are being supplied.

Tell me, can you imagine an architect via videocall?
Then I'll give you 3 names now and in 2 months you'll have a building application. How much longer do you want to wait :O

Does anyone else have such extreme delivery problems with the windows and aluminum profiles? It has been postponed again and again for us, and there is still no delivery date.

Gladly. I sit at the computer all day and video calls are part of daily business. :) Are you also in the green forum? Then you can feel free to write me directly via PM there.
