Hello everyone,
We are doing the entire interior construction of the house ourselves and are currently trying to decide whether to use drywall for all the interior walls or have them built with masonry instead. Drywall would, of course, be more affordable and flexible. However, we have concerns regarding a possible resale.
The rest of the house is being built with solid calcium silicate bricks.
I would be very grateful for any advice or opinions.
Have a great weekend!

With two general contractors we negotiated with, everything made of masonry (sand-lime brick) would have been possible for a small additional cost, I surprisingly can’t recall right now whether you have a straight-walled upper floor or a sloped attic.

A concrete slab is only possible from the ground floor to the first floor. For drywall partitions, the general contractor (as mentioned by @K1300S) suggested using supports.
A concrete slab from the first floor to the attic is not permitted due to the building permit / planning permission.
In this case, we would install a drywall ceiling.
And yes, this is all new to us, so I enjoy reading along here ;-)
I'm sure one or two questions will come up again during the construction process.

For drywall partitions, the main contractor (as mentioned by @K1300S) suggested using supports. That is unsatisfactory: due to their cross-section, the supports protrude and only transfer the ceiling load but do not provide bracing. Supports belong in frame construction and have no place in a single-family house.
