Hello,

I would like to hear your opinion and experience on this topic.
What are the disadvantages or negative aspects of moving into a newly built house in winter if the exterior is left uninsulated and without exterior plaster?

Apart from the heating costs 😀 although our German winters here in the north are not what they used to be :S

Does this also affect the interior plaster? For example, if there is still residual moisture inside or similar issues.

Thanks in advance for your answers

Nothing happens except extremely high heating costs.

Is there possibly a side exposed to driving rain that needs to be covered (you often see house sides covered with plastic sheeting)?
What kind of bricks are you using? As far as I know, filled bricks need to be protected from driving rain.

There won’t be any roof overhang, which is why I’m concerned about rain and similar issues.

I don’t have anything yet 😀 Everything is still in the planning stage. Construction should start next year.
The exterior walls will be 24 cm (9.5 inches) Poroton, non-filled, and inside 17 cm (6.7 inches) sand-lime bricks.
The upper parts will probably all be Poroton as well, depending on what the structural engineer says.

Poroton blocks are open at the top, including at cut edges and damaged areas, so water and snow can get in everywhere. For this reason, I would not move in without exterior plaster.

Why don’t you apply the insulation and the plaster/render at the same time?
