Hello everyone,
Although this topic has come up several times in the forum, I would like to start a new thread because I haven’t found anything similar.
We are still looking for the right construction company. At the moment, there are two options: one company builds all interior walls using solid construction, while the other builds load-bearing walls solid and non-load-bearing walls as drywall. I have done some reading and think both approaches have their pros and cons. I am open to both and would probably go with whichever option the general contractor (GC) prefers.
The site manager of the GC using drywall walls told me that the interior walls where cables are routed become very thin if drywall is not used. Is he trying to scare me, or is there some truth to that? The site manager also made it clear that he would personally always prefer drywall because of the easier cable installation. As a client, that doesn’t really matter to me.
Besides the usual wiring, I definitely want LAN cables (RJ45, CAT7) installed throughout the house. Maybe even a KNX system. Could drywall actually be the better solution because of this?

I haven’t decided yet whether we will use Poroton or aerated concrete.Aerated concrete is not very effective for sound insulation, especially in thinner walls. Calcareous sandstone, on the other hand, is considered the gold standard for this.
