Hey, we are actually also building with Fullwood and have a one-meter roof overhang. For structural wood protection reasons, I would definitely not reduce the roof overhang. If you get wooden windows, they will probably also last less long.
If you do the master carpenter assembly, plan significantly more for the trades calculated by Fullwood. Also, depending on how many helpers you have, expect to keep the master carpenter significantly longer. We discussed 10 days of master carpenter work with Fullwood, but he had to stay 6 weeks and almost all trades were significantly more expensive.
We have a blog if you want to read more about our building project. Best regards and good luck!
6 weeks instead of 10 days is extreme. What was the reason? A colleague built with Fullwood and he built the house alone with the master carpenter and it took two weeks.
It is firmly planned that the other trades will be more expensive. Before signing the contract, I already had offers for earthworks and the foundation slab. Sanitary, heating, and screed are handled by acquaintances, each with their own business. I will probably do the rest myself. In 2020, I completely renovated an old house for 14 months and was able to experiment accordingly and know what I can do myself and what I can't.
If you send me the link to your blog, I would be happy to take a look at it.
We will not take wooden windows and will also get a counteroffer from the company that made the windows for the last house.
I am just skeptical about how much the roof overhang really protects, especially on the gable side. Close to the ground, the wood will not be protected anyway and will determine the intervals at which the house needs to be repainted.
