Hello everyone,
can someone answer off the cuff which construction method is the most cost-effective for a non-residential basement, i.e. a normal storage, hobby, craft basement.
We will do everything entirely as a DIY project, so only the material costs are decisive.
(I am leaving out pre-fabricated basements because you can’t do anything yourself there without a crane)
It’s not just about comparing the bricks, but the entire wall structure including, if applicable, waterproofing slurry, insulation, plaster, etc.
according to KFW55.
Maybe someone has already faced the same decision and has an overview.
Architects only compare INCLUDING the labor service, but not material-only, because they say hardly anyone wants to do the masonry themselves nowadays.
Looking forward to feedback.
