Disadvantages of timber frame construction

I don’t know exactly what you’re getting at, but planning for a nursing home at 75 strikes me as somewhat careless. And by the way, that grandpa also had a desk job.

The idea is rather that nowadays houses adapt to people – in the past, you grew up in the house you were born in, worked your entire life in the same company at the same place, then inherited the house and were cared for there until your own death.

Today, life is often more "varied." You change jobs and your place of residence, your housing wishes change, the family grows, and so on.
So you simply look for a new apartment or build a new house. At the beginning of my 40s, I am now living in my fourth property (rental apartment – condominium – small semi-detached house – large/detached single-family house), and I already know that I will have at least one more property. A small, senior-friendly house for the time when the children have left home. Maybe after that there will be another condo if the effort for the house becomes too much (or a rental apartment, then the landlord can take care of everything and I can squander the proceeds from the house sale 8-)).

They cost more than a solid house

.. wrong .. not true ... just take a look at offers from carpenters who also offer turnkey wooden houses .. there turnkey houses are already offered for 160,000 euros .. small but fine

So I really compared a lot, including with the [Zimmerer-Haus] of the local master carpentry. Solid construction is definitely cheaper here with us.

.. this raises the question for me, how, what, and on what basis did you compare this? Are you an expert to assess this? Or did you only look at the prices of fancy half-timbered houses? Wooden houses should basically always be cheaper than solid houses ..

Wooden houses should actually always be cheaper than solid houses ..

But why actually?

Same floor plan, same equipment, 7 providers. As a woman, I do not consider myself an expert, but we have been active in this house-building market for 2 years and can draw quite a few conclusions.
