Features
- Wall construction: 1.25cm (0.5 inches) drywall boards, 1.5cm (0.6 inches) OSB board, structural timber (8cm (3 inches)), OSB boards (1.5cm (0.6 inches)), structural timber (24cm (9.5 inches)), wood fiber insulation boards (6cm (2.4 inches)), plaster mortar made from lime, lime-cement, and hydraulic lime

Well, timber frame construction, you have to know if you want that!

- Clay roof tiles = nice 🙂

- Plastic-framed windows with triple-glazed insulated glass
(U-value: 0.8) = aha, is that the glass, the frame, or both?

- Electric aluminum blinds in living-dining room and kitchen = nowhere else?

- Plastic-coated window sills = what is that? Who wants those?

- Floor slab: wooden beams with screed topping (11cm (4.3 inches) insulation)
= unusual for new builds in my opinion... Edit: sorry, it’s a prefab house

- High-quality floor coverings: tiles (porcelain stoneware), linoleum, and vinyl
= Vinyl/linoleum high-quality?

- Interior doors: plastic-coated wooden doors (white)
= if wood, then wood—not with more chemicals layered on

- White wooden door frames = fits well with the plastic door

- Freestanding wooden staircase (beech, dark stained) = Well, you can live with that aesthetically—not really my taste

- Gas central heating (condensing technology) = heating system from yesterday

- Underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor = nice, unfortunately only on the ground floor, probably not possible above due to ceiling construction

- Shower bathroom on ground floor, hallway and bathroom upstairs: heat recovery = is that a controlled ventilation system? Why not for the whole house?

- Fireplace connection (connections for water-based stove are available)= nice

- Ventilation system with heat recovery

- Hot water tank (750 liters (198 gallons)) = 750 liters??? Do you have that high a demand or many occupants?

- Solar system for heating and hot water = nice

Hello, this is the description of a house we might buy. To avoid buying a pig in a poke, I’m trying to get some basic information as a layperson to find out if it is really as high quality :o as advertised, or if they just want our money 😡.

Hi,

don’t keep us waiting so long 😕
Who is building it, what is the cost, and how many square meters (square feet) is it?
Bus system for what exactly?
Who is pouring the foundation slab, what type of slab, and what about the earthworks?
The manufacturer’s website??

So many questions 🙄

I won’t keep you in suspense—I only know that it has 160 sqm (1,722 sq ft). The price is not set; it will be auctioned through a bidding process.

Please help!!! What do I need to ask about, what is important?

Is it already built somewhere and you want to buy it, or are you planning to have it newly constructed? If it’s the latter and this is supposed to be the construction management specification, then good luck!
