Hello,
I will try to get straight to the point.
Can someone briefly explain the differences between what I would call "prefabricated wooden houses," like Scanhaus Marlow, Danwood, Massahaus, etc., and wooden houses from networks like 81fünf that promote traditional carpentry companies from the local region?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Thank you very much.

Would you be so kind as to explain that in more detail?I was not referring to outdated machinery from the long-gone state-owned enterprises or the former dismissive attitude towards building biology. Rather, I have the impression that some small carpentry companies are repeating the awkwardness of those early pioneers on their way to becoming general contractors.joschua_85 schrieb:
And especially the argument about reputation, I actually see that as an advantage when it comes to execution.Of course, it is an advantage when a company “stands behind” the reputation of its family name – did you interpret that negatively in any way?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

100% eco-friendliness at any cost is not the goal either. But as much as possible, without being forced.
I believe we are on the right track here. My initial question was mainly about how to categorize all the wooden houses. Or if they are all basically the same. I partly thought that a "real" wooden house can only be a Canadian log house.

You have solid wood houses, massive timber houses, and timber frame constructions with different infill materials. There are also a few other variations in between.
How is the house you planned ventilated?
No matter how the wall structure is designed, these houses are very airtight and need to be ventilated somehow. Even the houses with "breathable" walls pass the blower door test, which means they are very airtight.

How is the house you planned going to be ventilated?At the moment, not at all. And to be honest, we want to avoid it if possible. According to the carpenter, they don’t install ventilation systems unless specifically requested. Actually, this is the issue that bothers me the most during our planning phase. Ideally, I would prefer a house built like in the 1990s, with manual ventilation. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of ventilation have you installed?
Solid wood construction, passive house, ventilation system.
Manual ventilation is possible, but we are not home that often. Additionally, there is no heat recovery.
Window frame ventilation provides ventilation but does not include heat recovery.
So a ventilation system with heat recovery. I would definitely choose that again. The house is automatically ventilated, and windows can always be opened. In winter, there is often no need to open them. After showering, mirrors do not fog up, the bathroom stays relatively odor-free, and smells from the diaper bin are not noticeable.
New houses are airtight, especially when the carpentry work is done carefully. No poorly fitting windows, no electric outlet drafts, nothing.
Without controlled residential ventilation, higher energy values can occur, but that does not mean the carpentry work is necessarily less precise just because the homeowner accepts that.
Why do you not want a ventilation system? How do you plan to heat the house?
