House Pictures Chat Corner - Show off your house pictures!

Here are houses that are built in self-contracting, partially standing for months without any progress. In our village, there are two houses whose shell construction was already standing when we started building. We have been living in the house for 1 year. The two builders hope they will manage it this year.

I think 8 months is a good time.

It always depends on the construction method and logistics. Schwörerhaus, for example, says that you can move in 4 weeks after the positioning date. With our general contractor, the construction time was 4 months.

It's also possible, we don't have traditional screed but precast screed concrete elements in which the underfloor heating pipes are embedded, so nothing has to dry like with traditional screed.

My house will be finished next month.

The contractor took exactly 8 months. There were exactly 5 days when no one was on the construction site.
The winter was mild.

The house is custom designed and somewhat more complex with many concrete supports, etc.
230 m2 of living space.
I wouldn’t have felt good moving in after 4 months.

Better old-fashioned with real cement screed and plaster like in the past.

With us, it would have taken 4.5 months from the erection of the walls. Nothing was pre-installed in the walls.

Some timber frame companies deliver with plaster, windows, sanitary pipes, etc.

Solid wood under 8 months is only possible with a lot of risk and at the expense of quality. Physics cannot be outsmarted and drying times must be adhered to. Timber framing, of course, goes much much faster..
