Hello, a small family from Bavaria dreaming of their own home... A few years ago, I wanted to renovate a house from the 1970s, completely gut it and update it to modern standards (trained HVAC technician)... Nowadays, I believe (due to house prices) building new almost comes out the same price and you get something brand new... We are considering building a solid (masonry) house fully finished (Turnkey), (Town & Country, etc.)
The land is quite secure...
The question is turnkey or shell house (more money vs. more time invested)
Doing work yourself is definitely a must for me, every tradesperson understands that... (either way, the question is to what extent)
Plumbing, heating, electrical would be no problem... I can also do tiling, drywall, have a screeding contractor, master electrician, and plasterer available...
I also think that with self-building you can avoid poor workmanship by observing drying times, selecting materials carefully, etc.
My question is, who has already extensively completed a shell house themselves...
Is there a comparison to a turnkey offer? (savings)
Does anyone have a list of all the tasks for self-performed work in a shell house? (for budgeting)
Would anyone later prefer to build turnkey with some self-performed work?
You don’t read much here about shell houses... but maybe there is a tradesperson here who has wrestled with the same considerations...
...
We don’t really have any time pressure as we currently live rent-free, but we want something of our own, and if that’s the case, we would spend every free minute working on it. Of course, no one can replace the time you then don’t get to spend with your family...
I’m looking forward to your answers!

You just have to be aware that these will be pretty standard houses without any fancy features or innovative elements.Since we’ll soon be hearing "things were better in the past" again, I’d like to add: "but at least there were fewer smoky eyes, venetian blinds, and gabions." ypg schrieb:
