Hello everyone,
Last year, we purchased an 800 m² (8,600 sq ft) plot near Stuttgart, which will be developed for us and my parents. I have created the plans, and they are currently with the draftsman to be finalized for the building permit / planning permission.
We plan to build using Neopor insulated concrete forms and are looking for companies to carry out the construction. So far, I haven’t found any suitable ones nearby. Perhaps someone has a recommendation. Reliable companies from other European countries are also welcome.
Thank you very much and best regards, AvH
I am attaching the current plans.

Many say the system is useless. That’s not true. The basic principle of “Lego with lost formwork” works. Like any other system, it has advantages and disadvantages.

But no one can specify why. I and others have provided specifics in this and other threads.

Preferably from builders who have direct experience! The overlap between those and forum participants is probably close to zero. You will find plenty of people experienced with formwork blocks here, but mainly for retaining garden fence bases. The typical builder using formwork blocks buys a kit and couldn’t care less about parapet heights, kitchen layouts, or brick joint details. They don’t read or write here.
The field of construction has kept me engaged for over forty years. I did a lot of renovation and conversion work as a conscientious objector, and a few years ago I managed a window manufacturer. I offer advice system-neutral, except that I openly identify as skeptical about insulation.

1, Posting this will probably make me unpopular right away.
Regarding the design, all I can say is: wow!
This design doesn't allow for any insulating concrete forms, DIY construction, or Eastern European builders.
The design only includes reinforced concrete slabs, concealed beams (lintels) designed by the structural engineer, and, most importantly, load-bearing reinforced concrete wall panels with large openings, as well as, here and there, structural engineer-designed columns.
The rest is made of calcium silicate blocks or load-bearing clay brickwork (Poroton or similar).
You can only hope to find a good structural engineer who can bring this to life.

This looks like an overly ambitious project for a first-time builder. Yes, it is quite challenging; someone without much experience would really struggle with this.
If there were a few fewer corners, offsets, and similar details, the house could be built significantly cheaper without becoming monotonous, even for the average self-builder putting in their own labor.
What does the building permit inquiry say about the compatibility between the design and the zoning plan?

Formwork blocks, DIY construction, or Eastern European construction workers won’t work here. Formwork blocks can be used here—provided the designer adapts to their modular system—for the basement (by the way, the plans seem to be missing a utility room). I see the potential for DIY work mostly with interior walls (drywall, gypsum boards, or similar), but again, none of this is exactly simple without some experience.

I like the views from the house.
The granny flat is intended for the original poster's parents. Is it really forward-thinking to place the flat on the upper floor?
Large plot
Garages under the house, resulting in endless stairs and no living spaces facing the garden, which I find unfortunate.
