Hello everyone,
I’m new here and have quite a few questions.
I’ve already looked through many threads in this forum (maybe too many :confused 🙂.
My wife and I are considering buying a single-family house due to a growing family and because of my wife’s parents. My requirements are:
Unfortunately, there is no suitable existing property on the various real estate portals.
That’s why I came across several companies that build prefabricated houses.
My initial questions are:
I have also read some topics concerning certain prefabricated house manufacturers like Scanhaus Marlow, Allkauf, and others. There are always both negative and positive reviews.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Keough
I’m new here and have quite a few questions.
I’ve already looked through many threads in this forum (maybe too many :confused 🙂.
My wife and I are considering buying a single-family house due to a growing family and because of my wife’s parents. My requirements are:
- House of at least 120m² (1300 sq ft),
- at least 4 rooms,
- low energy consumption,
- with a basement,
- (including the plot of land???),
- budget: 250,000–300,000
Unfortunately, there is no suitable existing property on the various real estate portals.
That’s why I came across several companies that build prefabricated houses.
My initial questions are:
- Is this budget realistic and sufficient for building a house?
- What is the difference between conventional houses and prefabricated houses?
- Are prefabricated houses significantly lower in quality compared to conventional houses?
I have also read some topics concerning certain prefabricated house manufacturers like Scanhaus Marlow, Allkauf, and others. There are always both negative and positive reviews.
- Can the negative reviews be trusted? Can the positive ones?
- Should I be prepared to rely on luck regarding which site manager I get?
- Are there any prefabricated house manufacturers that are completely trustworthy?
- What should I definitely keep in mind when contacting a prefabricated house manufacturer?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Keough

We had chosen calcium silicate blocks One more question about that: Calcium silicate blocks themselves have a high heat storage capacity, but with increasing density also a significantly higher heat transfer coefficient (from 0.7 W/m²K), which means you probably won’t achieve the temperature stability you mentioned afterward. What additional insulation measures did you implement? I’m just interested to stay informed.

There is less happening with ventilation, but without standing freezing in front of the mirror.
But actually, we’re moving off the topic of prefabricated houses or solid construction.We have ventilation, no chance...

Just a quick question: Sand-lime brick itself has a high heat storage capacity, but as its density increases, it also shows a significantly higher thermal transmittance (starting from 0.7 W/m²K), so you probably won't achieve the temperature stability mentioned later. What additional insulation measures have you implemented? I'm just curious because I want to stay informed.Of course, there needs to be proper insulation on the outside. For KfW 70 standard back then, I mean 16cm (6 inches)...

When someone has taken a shower, the humidity rises above 80%, but drops below 60% within 30 minutes and returns to normal levels (40-45%) after an hour.By itself, this is only good if no condensation occurs in the meantime, especially on the walls... otherwise the problem will eventually appear.

The exterior definitely needs proper insulation; I think it was 16cm (6 inches) for kfw70 back then...Calcium silicate blocks for exterior walls require a cavity wall construction or external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). What did you use? At 16cm (6 inches), probably EPS? What type of boards and render?
Right now, I’m also leaning towards building entirely with calcium silicate blocks, but with ETICS there are the usual issues, and we recently saw a ruined facade in a thread... plus, we are building two stories with a flat roof near a wooded area—I’m really wondering if it will look good for long.

Seems quite normal given the current outside temperatures (and the corresponding humidity) and a mechanical ventilation system without an enthalpy exchanger. I actually wanted to ask about retrofit options, thanks for the reminder You’re right. I currently have an indoor humidity of 20%.
That’s really bad.
I’ll have to inquire about that as well.

j.bautsch1 Feb 2017 10:53Wow, at work I have 22% humidity (due to the air-conditioned lab next door) and my nose really appreciates it. If I had such low humidity at home, I would go crazy.
