Hello everyone,
first of all, thank you for having me.
Let me introduce myself briefly.
My name is Ronja. I am married, have two lovely daughters, and live in a small village in Saxony-Anhalt.
We have been living in a house for over three years now, but we are renting. Unfortunately, the landlord does not want to sell. We don’t want to rent forever, and finding a house to buy here is really difficult. So building a house seems like a good alternative.
Currently, we pay 1050 euros warm per month (about $1130), not including insurance and other costs. The landlord also passes on additional expenses like property tax to us. So we’re no strangers to extra costs.
Wow, there are so many things to consider and costs involved.
So far, we have only researched online. I have often read that new houses should be energy efficient nowadays.
But eco-friendly is something different, especially when it comes to costs.
Our budget is not unlimited.
My big dream is actually a round log house. But so far, I haven’t found any provider with reasonable prices. Everything is between 2200 and 2600 euros per square meter (about $240 to $280 per square foot). (Help!!!)
I really like eco houses, especially those made with clay.
Is there anyone here who plans to build like this or has already done so?
I would really appreciate any replies.
Best regards,
Ronja

The rest was done as own work.

Doc.Schnaggls23 Dec 2014 08:57Hello Ronja,
I can’t recommend a supplier for round log houses, but we are currently building a timber frame prefabricated house made mostly from natural materials.
Would something like that be of interest to you?
Regards,
Dirk
