Time expenditure for own services

Google, for example, look at the Verband Privater Bauherren, they allocate 125 hours for painting and wallpapering work. They allocate many more hours than you.

Here a house is being built with a lot of personal effort. Many relatives, friends, and acquaintances are craftsmen. Work can only be done in the evenings and on Saturdays, they assume a construction period of 1 year.

Thank you very much for your assessment, I knew I could count on you when it comes to tempering naivety [emoji6]

I think the note about transport and procurement is good, I actually hadn’t considered that. I will also factor in trips between the apartment and the construction site.

Man-hours or with a 4-man crew? Wallpapering is not on the plan for now. I also got my numbers from various sources, usually around 100 hours were estimated. But quite a few here in the forum talk about several weeks. My estimate is 4 people times 63 hours.

I would actually find it interesting what realistic efforts would be. First of all independently of the time frame in which they are completed. That planning will follow afterwards.
Do you really think 22 hours per week is too much? Honestly, I currently spend about 50 hours a week on the house topic. Simply because it is also fun and I have the time. Surely the fun will decrease significantly during construction, I don’t kid myself. And of course, it’s not just the 22 hours of manual labor, but also various clarifications etc. in parallel.

Trips apartment house, procurement, downtime such as sick leave, appointments also add up. You still have work.

Keep in mind that no 4-man team is considered in the times. But this does not significantly reduce the number of hours to be worked. You also have to consider that helpers are not on the construction site every free minute and you generally do not reach 22 hours per week.

The house has approximately 140 sqm of living space. For electrical work, a total of 130 years of experience is available for consultation and planning, thanks to several relatives in the field. However, they will hardly be able to help with the actual execution. .

Sorry, but the electricity makes my neck hairs stand on end. Does that mean the dads are constantly acting as construction supervisors with you? Or do you just do it? With water and electricity, my family said just let it happen.

Also consider the preparation and follow-up... if you do a 4-hour shift during the week, then you do 0.75 hours of preparation and 0.75 hours of follow-up and only manage 2.5 hours, then 12 hours in the week become only 7.5 hours.

From personal experience, the electrical work is probably underestimated as well. It is really time-consuming.^^
