Thank you very much for your answers!

I also think that ultimately it depends on the chosen provider (and hopefully not ). We recognize advantages and disadvantages in both construction methods and depending on current information gathering, the tendency keeps changing. We probably need to give ourselves some more time.

You often read about prefabricated houses in timber frame construction that they convey such a great, warm feeling because of the wood. I understand that this probably happens "only" subjectively, but is there something to it? I mean, mainly there is a lot of insulation between the timber studs, does the wood still have any tactile or olfactory effect? And what about the wood-based panels – are they different from chipboard? What are they glued with?

Apart from an as energy-efficient as possible house, living free of pollutants is extremely important to us.
When we moved into our current rental house, we had breathing problems for weeks because the parquet flooring (strip parquet) was laid with such aggressive glue. Our landlord even later told us that they wore breathing masks while laying it?!?!

A solid brick house, as the name suggests, is solid, and if it is well built, it will still stand in 200 years, which I don't think a prefabricated house necessarily does. I would always build stone on stone.

now to your screed question: a normal screed naturally brings moisture into the house, but it is also aired out again after 5 to 7 days, wallpapers and paint also produce moisture and nobody cares

Sorry, that really is not a well-founded statement...

Take a look at the oldest houses in your town – they are probably half-timbered houses, right?

What do you think the load-bearing structure of a half-timbered house consists of?

Could it possibly be wooden studs?

One should not compare apples and oranges here; I wouldn't want a US-American "chipboard box" either, but I bet our high-quality timber frame house will last at least as long as a "solid" built one. I will deliberately leave aside the healthier indoor climate and better thermal insulation at the same wall thickness here...

Just as a thought-provoking example: Two years ago we experienced a noticeable earthquake at friends' place in Switzerland. Damage to their timber frame house: none – The immediate neighboring house ("solid house"): clearly visible cracks from the ridge down to the height of the first floor.

In the end, it is purely a gut feeling which type of house one builds, but one should please also accept other builders' decisions and avoid badmouthing their house concept.

Regards,

Dirk

Yes, of course it's timber framing, that's why I now have so much work with rotten beams, unfortunately you couldn't see it under all the covered walls, I would have preferred solid construction!
And I should be allowed to state my opinion, if I were building new, only with stone, it's just my material.

Of course, you are allowed to express your opinion. However, to lump all prefabricated houses together here based on your personal experience with ONE object is somewhat questionable. I know some unstable and rotten "solid" houses that also suffer from moisture damage. Nevertheless, I do not claim that this is the case with all the others...
