I hope it’s okay if I use the thread for another question.

A developer offered us masonry made from EPS formwork blocks. When I search on Google, I don’t really find any clear information, except that you need longer anchors. Can anyone share more about this construction method? Disadvantages/advantages?
Thank you

Hmm, it’s not just about the sun. It’s also about the sensory experience on the terrace. Otherwise, you simply place the carport down in the southwest corner, and then the evening sun is unobstructed. K.

About the stone. Is that something like Liapor? Insulation is probably good, but try mounting an awning on it... I would prefer thick Ytong or something similar. Karsten

Try searching for "11ant formwork block" here in the forum

No, to put it bluntly, it’s “concrete-filled external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS).”

Basically, you get a solid concrete wall—apart from the intermediate ribs—that is poured between layers of insulation material. This is also called “lost formwork.” It’s basically like a concrete wall with an outer layer of insulation about the usual thickness of an external insulation system, and on the inside, practically a thin “Styrofoam” paneling. Pipes and conduits would either be embedded during pouring or installed in front of the wall.

I only see a time-saving benefit here for the contractor—none for the client who isn’t building themselves. And the self-building client still has to familiarize themselves with the specific system.

Regarding house suppliers—the manufacturers mostly only offer kits—I can only think of Kern-Haus here (you can also try searching for them in the forum).

My take on formwork blocks, put simply: you either become a fan of them or you stay away.

Hi,
so far the planning hasn’t progressed much since we first had to decide on a bank and a developer. That involved a lot of appointments.
Unfortunately, we are still waiting for the parcel subdivision. That’s currently the bottleneck.
At least I now have the exact plot dimensions: 25 x 37 m (82 x 121 ft). So it’s somewhat wider than expected.
As soon as things move forward with the developer’s planner, I will also get back in touch here.

Best regards
