Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

No one can build a house with strawberries or asparagus, at most feed the helpers on Saturday noon. I have something on the topic: Electronic components (RCD switches, circuit breakers) are currently hard to get. At least according to my wholesaler. Reinforcing steel seems to be easing a bit. Wood (KV) is holding steady but, according to my local timber merchant, is expected to ease a bit towards the end of the year. Demand seems to be "collapsing" right now. The trades look bad as well. Getting someone in the sanitary and heating sector (and not in half a year) is like a lottery. Electrical companies are even worse, they finish the municipal projects first before the private ones get done. Unless you put some down payment on the table. That’s enough for now. Stay positive and just ignore the forum troll... :) :cool:

Let's just look at strawberries and asparagus. Consumers have bought less due to lack of money ...

Or, like my husband and me, to show solidarity with people who have less money available. If a price seems "obscene" to me, like for asparagus or butter, I only buy the product in absolute need or emergency, like with the prices I have to pay for the house completion. I can live very well without asparagus and butter. ;-)

And please don't feed the troll again ...

At the moment, only is doing that with her likes and her excuses that she wants to "hear different opinions." Denying an aggressive war and thereby insulting tens of thousands of victims is not an opinion; the lady, who does not consider herself to be in these spheres but acts accordingly, should finally understand that.

Here are our (certainly overpriced, but whatever, we finally got it done) net prices for new electrical work in an old building:

Here are our (certainly overpriced, but whatever, we finally got it done) prices for new electrical installations in an old building:

I don’t find it overpriced at all, I find many items quite fairly priced. We have already read much worse here in the forum – right ;)

Forgot to mention: Almost the entire final assembly is still missing (meaning boxes and switches), more or less the rough installation on one floor (because we currently live there), and it is also still net.

In total, we hope to stay under 20,000 (ideally gross :D).
