And just because my neighbors have rushed ahead and already signed, we will not submit. If you turn it around, you could also ask why they didn’t talk to us. But that’s not the point, and everyone can just do whatever they want. That’s how it should be. No one said it was too expensive for us.
Now don’t be ungrateful: You know the semi-detached neighbors and talk to each other. The not exactly average / usual, but also not exactly rare semi-detached house builder has to come to terms with getting to know the buyer of the other half-plot in three years and "being allowed" to insulate the "shared" wall as an exterior wall until then. Besides, I imagine that Schwabenhaus wouldn’t have suited you price-wise either (?)
As I wrote in my initial post, prefabricated houses are out for us. We have thought about it for a long time and will definitely build solid. Whether finished solid or stone on stone is still to be clarified, but it will not be a timber frame. We are currently also in a thread about the building material expanded clay, not about the advantages of prefabricated houses.
Where did I overlook the reasons why the timber frame house is fundamentally out of the question? Incidentally, anyone who blindly wouldn’t deviate an inch from the line of questioning searching for answers without the slightest sideline added value would be in the wrong forum here. Here "the whole picture" is usually considered. That may be due to the experienced discussants who often already live in (not always their first) owner-occupied home. Forcing one’s fellow humans to run against walls with open knives is something that, at most, cynics could be "expected" to do ;-)
Now just briefly about my not yet "processed" post #17:
Shell house... um, yeah, I’ll duck here. [...]
"If the planner is clever, the best possible profile "similarity" should also be achievable under these circumstances" sorry, I don’t understand the sentence or the word clever :/
We have plans in DIY, of course we think about how it could look. We now have professional plans from companies that do not quite suit us (HTR on the ground floor) and our ideas. I’m happy to share them :)
"Oh, twelve meters, and yet the neighbor builds shorter???"
What do you mean by that? That’s irony, right?
With the suggestion "shell house" I wanted to point out the possibility to use the same "shell builder" as the half-neighbor even if you want to choose different contractors for finishing trades and/or a significantly different standard. DIY is not necessarily involved. "Clever" means something similar to "knorke," that someone is "smart," so "a clever guy." And such a person would also be able, even with different building depths, to achieve largely parallel rooflines. And no, I am honestly surprised that with only twelve meters you are still building more depth than the half-neighbors. Yes, share the plans – gladly also those that you consider imperfect, we can sort them here (not me, I’m no great drawer, that’s more Katja, Yvonne, RomeoZwo, and so on, as you have surely noticed).
Can someone say something about the disadvantages of the prefabricated components made of expanded clay? Looking at the values, one should consider possibly taking a 42cm wall if building monolithically.
Basically, it is "the same stuff from the ingredients," although of course the wall panels are produced differently (lying down, but you can see that in the video on the Lechner Massivhaus website) and with the consequence of a wall inside surface that is even smoother rolled compared to the plan stone top side. So technically the "same content," but "more ready for wallpapering." Incidentally, I live in 30 cm lightweight concrete and have no impression that it would be equivalent with just 24 cm porous tiles. Regarding the idea of building with wall panels, I quote myself from the Green Thread: wall panels "in the batch size ‘half a semi-detached house’ are pretty much a joke in a bag, at least far above the boundary of jesting."
Another general question: All solid house stone-on-stone suppliers want to install a mechanical ventilation system (it’s supposedly mandatory), but Lech*** with expanded clay does not, although it is equally airtight. Why is that? Aren’t the same regulations valid for everyone?
The regulations are the same, and as far as I know, controlled mechanical ventilation is still optional for everyone. Presumably, Lechner Massivhaus (are you actually planning to build with KlimaPOR? – KlimaVER would not be expanded clay but an alternative from them) simply has not integrated controlled mechanical ventilation into their system (Core not either, they then advise controlled mechanical ventilation in the decentralized variant). Incidentally, on Lechner Massivhaus you also see a project "Wohnen am Sonnenwald" with semi-detached houses which, although described as having "solid walls," are shown in the floor plan drawings as "double-walled" like external thermal insulation composite systems.
