Clay plaster is really no longer exotic. In the field of timber frame renovation, it is almost standard.

That was more in reference to 1200 euros per m² including 1500 m² of land. I can fool myself, I don't need this forum for that :)

Treated with mice - sounds very ecological... Sometimes it's hard to decide who is the gullible one and who is the unbeliever. With consistent self-construction and purchasing many materials without markups - as I read it, I don't find that so far-fetched. Plausibility estimate: sqm price 1700€ at the time of construction 4 years ago included are 595 € labor costs (35%) of which 445€ (about 75% of labor costs) are substituted by self-work included are 765€ material costs (45%) of which 195€ are saved by omitting markups and direct purchase (about 25% savings) no cost differences for machines and others friendly architect :) sqm price = 1700 - 445 - 195 = 1060€ : Congratulations on the great house and respect for the achievement.

In my text quoted above, I made no reference whatsoever to construction costs. In particular, I am not fooling anyone here (at most unintentionally :cool:). Therefore, I don't understand the connection here. And it should be clear to everyone that mostly lay opinions are expressed here :p.

Just to clarify briefly, I am self-employed and of course buy from the building materials trade, and especially in house construction, a few better conditions have additionally been negotiated with my regular dealer. However, since I have less to do with timber construction in my company, the prices for construction timber were not much cheaper than elsewhere. However, for example, I only had to pay €2,100 for the 21 tons of clay plaster. I am also perfectly aware that such low construction prices can never reach the home builder. In addition, my helpers, who incidentally are also self-employed, kindly wanted only minimal wages. Furthermore, I live with my family outside a metropolitan commuter belt; undeveloped building land costs €18.50/m2 here. I laid the connections for water, sewage, and electricity myself up to the street; fortunately, during this time, the street was fundamentally rebuilt and the utilities were connected directly. One may consider this a fairy tale or whatever, but I know what the final bottom line is.

If you feel like it, maybe you could post a few development pictures? Great project, my compliments!
