Topping-out ceremony in view of Corona

Just skip it. You can also celebrate the move-in with neighbors, family, and friends. Craftsmen appreciate a bonus more.

Dear people: No! The celebration is traditionally important and is unfortunately less celebrated or turned into "some kind of party." The celebration unites builders and owners and gives the house a soul --- so they say! It simply belongs and is also good, old craftsmanship goodwill! This is primarily about tradition! The thing with "the bills" seems to be more of a Western tradition.

But no longer for the craftsmen. They finish work at 2 p.m. and still have to drive to the company for an hour. They voluntarily postpone that by one hour. Their saying on the roof beam is leisure... and for that they get a few bills from the builder! In times of C. just postpone. There are also other days to celebrate.

You are basically right. Often it is also crews performing trades and not "the craftsman". Nevertheless, this celebration has a value for "us". Everyone has to decide for themselves whether they prefer to post a toast! I like the classic traditions!!!!

Dear people: No! The festival is traditionally important and unfortunately celebrated less or turned into a "somehow festival". The festival unites builders and clients and gives the house a soul --- so they say! It is simply belonging and also good, old craftsmanship favor! It is mainly about tradition here! The thing with "the bills" seems to be a rather western tradition.

Nonsense. Neither are the craftsmen eager for it, nor is this tradition current. In many cases it is no longer carried out. We did it, it was nice. But it really is not a must.

You are basically right. ... I love the very classic traditions !!!!

But not the employee and not the employer either - those times are long gone. Good morning

, I have no idea what kind of construction companies you have. I build about 8 to 10 houses a year and so far every one has had a topping-out ceremony. And of course it is not a must. I only said that it is a nice tradition.

Anyone who holds a topping-out ceremony in these times deserves to be punished! That would simply be stupid and irresponsible. Tradition or not...
