ᐅ Building Stone by Stone – Is Starting Construction in November Risky?

Hello everyone,
what do you think about starting the construction of a house in early to mid-November, brick by brick?
Are there any risks involved, especially if winter sets in by early to mid-December?

Could there be issues with masonry work, and is it possible to simply pause the structural shell at that point?
I would appreciate your professional opinion on this.

Best regards

After about 9 hours with 3 people, the pipes are laid... Since we have been constantly dealing with temperatures below 0°C (32°F) and snow here, the electrician refused to pull in the cables because they are too "hard and inflexible" in the cold. He firmly believes that we will manage well with the cable puller. I just have to trust him, after all, he is the professional.

Does he pull the cables in, or do you do it yourself?
If he does it, then it doesn't really matter to you...

Actually, with many cables here, if you pull on one end, nothing moves. Installing them beforehand is always easier...

No worries... everything’s fine. The electrician is moving in.
