Hello everyone,
After careful consideration, we have decided to build a house using the "Lego" principle. Unfortunately, we have found very few suppliers online (actually only one) that also offer some level of support. It is important to us to always have a contact person available and to have someone present during the wall casting process. So far, we have only been able to find the company Argisol for this.
Do you know of any companies in the northern German region that offer this building method?
When I look at websites like VariantHaus or similar, it seems they only provide the materials, and the builder is then left completely on their own.

what happens to insulation after 30 years, when it needs to be replaced. This hardly applies to the materials used today – it would be quite a challenge if, in thirty years, houses had to be rebuilt that sit on insulation under their slabs...

Which area in the northern part of Rhineland-Palatinate are you from?
I myself come from the Eifel region.

I’m from the Eifel myself I’m from the pumice region of the Neuwied Basin. That makes me think: there should be a supplier in the Pellenz area as well. KLB (climate lightweight block) probably also offers kit homes. And by the way, also formwork blocks.

Baumfachmann18 Jan 2018 23:06Neopor is an advanced version of polystyrene. Replacing the insulation nowadays doesn’t make much sense, as these houses still have a valid purpose. It’s important to pay attention to the door and window dimensions when assembling the elements. If you have good craftsmanship skills and maybe a mason available, it shouldn’t be a problem. However, don’t underestimate the time factor.
I once reviewed some of my reports from as early as 1986. I had several houses where the structure was still in very good condition after more than twenty years. The problems were mainly due to the owners’ own work, poor laying and plumbing issues, especially with gas and water. So, if you are skilled, you can save quite a bit on the shell construction, but make sure you have a professional mason involved.
All the best with your house build.

I once reviewed some of my reports: I had several houses since 1986, and their condition after more than twenty years was really good. The main issues were with the homeowners’ own work, poor installations of plumbing and gas lines, etc. So if you’re skilled, you can save quite a bit on the shell construction, but make sure to have a qualified mason involved.
All the best for your house constructionThanks, that’s a helpful post.
Tomorrow I’m going to the Hansebau trade fair in Bremen. I will talk to the representative at the exhibitor’s booth. The company will also provide a construction supervisor who will show you how to start and later assist with aligning the supports.
My time frame will probably be around 7 months full-time. I think that should be enough time for all the trades.
