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

I spoke with the bricklayer today; he said it will be at the end of next week.

Hey Merlin, it looks like we are at a similar stage. Our excavation is also complete now. On Monday, the work on the foundation slab will begin. Let's see how far we get.

Well, the next few days still look fairly good.
Are you planning to finish before Christmas? Who are you building with?

With this weather, I’m not planning... just hoping.
Let’s see how far they get. We are building with the company Denkinger.

We are pausing the masonry work for now. Concreting can still continue.
