Floor plan planning shortly before submitting the building application

The earthworks were successfully completed today. Tomorrow I will deliver the standpipe for the construction water, the construction power will be laid, and then the shell builder will start.

Oh wow, it's really getting started now. Take some photos for us and post them in the house pictures thread.

I am very happy to upload pictures.

Do you have such insanely better weather there? The earthworks have been finished here since December, today meeting with the shell constructor at the construction site, water/electricity is applied for, but as long as there are not 3 days in a row with temperatures > 5 degrees, no concrete slab pouring. A look at the weather forecast makes for a slightly bad mood [emoji57]

Yes, we only had the white for one day. It is completely gone. This week will definitely be fully built. Next week might be a problem. Temperatures between minus 2 and 0 degrees are forecast. And we have not yet quite reached filling the basement.

Cool, happy for you! I'll plan for mid-March... [emoji849]

[QUOTE="R.Hotzenplotz, post: 246651, member: 26099"]The heating installer called to say that now a little more than 2 kW additional heating load is required and the offers for the heating system can probably not be maintained.

Presumably more of a problem between him and the GÜ. He says it is because the sill height of the windows was changed from 100 cm to 86 cm. However, the sizes are also stated in the contract (except for an additionally commissioned basement window, which hardly makes 2 kW).[ /QUOTE]

That is simply nonsense from him.

With 15 cm higher windows, this makes the following difference:

Assuming you have 10 linear meters of windows affected, you have 10m*0.15m=1.5m² more window area instead of wall area.

With assumed U-values of 0.20 W/m²*K for the wall and 1.2 W/m²*K for the windows and a 34 K temperature difference from 20° inside to -14° outside, that is 1.00 W/m²*K *1.5m² * 34K = 51W.

So a whole 0.05 kW more.

Wow.
