Hello everyone,
I would like to hear your opinion. We want to build a hall for exhibition space, storage, and office use. I have already looked at some suppliers for system halls. However, the idea came to me that building a hall from masonry doesn’t necessarily have to be more expensive. Using Ytong blocks for construction, possibly with external insulation on the office section. What do you think is more cost-effective? Can you build as high as you want with Ytong, or would it be better to use calcium silicate blocks instead? For the hall, I was thinking about approximately 300m²-400m² (3,230ft²-4,305ft²).
Thanks for your help.

I am also facing this project this year. A hall of about 10 by 9 meters (33 by 30 feet), probably two stories with a shed roof.
I am still in the early planning stages.
It should include:
- Parking space for at least 3 cars plus a car lift
- Small workshop room
- Upper floor only half or three-quarters floored due to the car lift, to be used as a hobby/party/home theater room
The ground floor will probably be built with solid construction, and the upper floor possibly wood.

This initially means using reinforced concrete columns (including the appropriate rigid anchoring in the foundation) and header beams to carry the roof loads. These are wet processes involving formwork and curing times. Also, roof trusses cannot be built from masonry.
It is therefore advisable to replace these steps with a "skeleton" structure (the hall frame, for example made of steel). This way, the building envelope, especially the facade, becomes less dependent on the load-bearing structure (for later installation of windows, doors, gates, etc.).
We build starting at about 200 square meters (2,150 square feet), the largest hall was 11,000 square meters (118,400 square feet), and with the last 200 halls, some experience has been gained.
