Drying time of the prefabricated cellar until the installation of the prefabricated house

In principle, it doesn't matter when it comes to the positioning of the house. The manufacturing of the house takes its time, and logistics usually involve more than just the net production time. However, contractors can often estimate whether the house can be delivered in 15 or 18 minutes. If you want to build with a basement, it will be constructed beforehand at some point. Whether a basement cures for 72 hours or 31 days will not significantly affect the positioning of the house. One client may think this way on one hand, while on the other, there is a company that wants to make many clients happy. This is only possible with good planning.

Setting up the house two days after the basement concreting may be technically possible. In reality, however, hardly feasible. After concreting, the sealing still needs to be done, the [Ringerder] installed, the working space backfilled, and the scaffolding erected. All this within 48 hours and then the trucks and the crane are already ready – I don't believe that...

P.S.: By the way, from my own experience, I advise against such a tight schedule. If anything goes wrong during basement construction that delays the process by a few days, the date for setting the house will be missed and will likely be postponed by a few weeks or even months until it can be rescheduled. For us, it rained when the sealing was supposed to be applied – not possible. The crew then had to move to another construction site, and I really had to escalate the matter so that another crew came and finished it one week before the setting date – then the other work (see above) was carried out and just barely finished before the crane arrived...

The original plan was three weeks between basement and house. Today, for purely organizational reasons, I would insist on at least 6 weeks. Technically, I would trust the competence of the general contractor/basement builder. If that were not given, I would look for another one from the start...

Current status of our basement-house schedule: (Completed) Basement construction week 3 (+ beginning week 4) House construction: week 7 According to the basement company Glatthaar, this schedule is suitable
