Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

I like the living room!
8 months with or without a basement? Without a basement, that would definitely be too long for me.

Even without a basement, 8 months is not a long time.

Some people just think they know everything... sometimes it’s really unbearable to read some posts here.
Ideally, it only takes 4 months... and then moving into a damp house...

There are houses here that are being self-built and remain unfinished for months without any progress.

In our village, there are two houses whose shell structures were already standing when we started building. We have been living in our house for one year. The two builders hope to complete their houses this year.

I think 8 months is a reasonable time.

It always depends on the construction method and logistics. For example, Schwörerhaus says you can move in 4 weeks after the shell is erected. With our general contractor, the construction time was 4 months.

That works too. We don’t have traditional screed but instead prefabricated screed concrete panels, in which the pipes for the underfloor heating are embedded. There’s no drying time required like with traditional screed.

My house will be completed next month.

The builder took exactly 8 months. There were exactly 5 days when no one was on the construction site.
The winter was mild.

The house was custom designed and a bit more complex, with many concrete supports, etc.
230 m² (2,475 sq ft) of living space.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable moving in after just 4 months.

I prefer old-fashioned methods with proper cement screed and plaster like in the past.
