Hello everyone,
I have signed the construction contract with a general contractor (Heinz von Heiden) without a chimney. I might be able to include it later during discussions with the architect.
Problem:
- A chimney from Schiedel costs about 5000€ (around $5,500) and takes up space
- Additionally, there is an inspection fee from the district chimney inspector
- I am not sure whether I actually need a chimney/fireplace
My idea: stainless steel chimney.
When building a house, money is almost always tight. That’s why I just want to prepare everything in advance.
What is the best way to plan for core drilling? Does anyone have experience with this?
THANK YOU for your answers.

- Validity of acceptance (thanks again to @Mottenhausen)
- Costs
- Location: it is in Baden-Württemberg, but it’s already warm there (on the Neckar River) — so it’s not really worth it as an additional heat source

Pure "luxury." Comfort, coziness, prestige factor, emergency heat source in case the main heating fails or during a power outage in winter, selling point when selling the house... these are the kinds of things you have to weigh here. For us, it was basically certain—the house was to some extent planned around the fireplace.
