Would you like another practical example?
We wanted a fireplace.
It can't be that hard, just need a chimney in the house.
In order for the chimney sweep to get to the chimney, he naturally has to go over the floor through the roof.
So a retractable attic ladder must be installed in the ceiling of the 2nd floor, a bottom chord reinforcement so you can walk up there, and a covering on the upper floor ceiling. Since we wanted to use the floor anyway, these extra costs were already planned.
Besides the still needed roof hatch and the grating on the roof to stand on, we now need a ladder.
Our chimney is too far from the roof ridge according to the floor plans in the basement and upper floor and therefore must be about 1.20 m tall.
Since only 1 meter is reasonable for the chimney sweep, he now needs a ladder on the chimney.
So far, the house seller planned everything.
Our construction supervisor now pointed out to us that we also need an intake air supply for the chimney.
This can either be done via a chimney with an air intake duct or via a separate KG pipe under the floor slab.
Now, of course, you can connect it externally with a nice duct with grating, or just let it stick out unsightly next to the floor slab.
Without a construction supervisor, you would never think of all that.
By the way, all this costs about €7,000 without the wood stove.
(Fairly speaking, a part of it was already planned.)
