ᐅ Building a House in Winter

Hi,
and one more question for the experts. How does building a house in winter work, and will there be additional costs involved?

Good luck Bronko

In any case, additional effort is required for heating because some building materials (screed) can only be applied above certain temperatures, as is the case with masonry work. Also consider coverings for open foundation pits, etc.

Thanks for the information. Has anyone heard of building under a tent?

Good luck, Bronko

Viebrockhaus builds under a tent *only in emergency situations*.

Welcome!

We will probably have a turnkey build over the winter. Could additional costs still arise for us? According to the construction company, this should not be the case. Does anyone have experience with this?

As far as I know, no reputable contractor would start a construction project before winter unless they can guarantee that the building shell will be fully enclosed before adverse weather conditions begin. It should also be noted that almost all tradespeople take a break over the Christmas period—having only a half-finished shell is understandably not an ideal situation. Therefore, I don’t see any reason why additional costs should occur for you.

Regarding the issue with the “tent,” I cannot comment as I am not familiar with the “fine print” 😉

Kind regards
