I would like to briefly point out the current impending crisis and discuss possible solutions.
How should one act in view of the current political uncertainties?
Personally, I would completely pull the plug and put everything on hold. The uncertainties are simply too great. I wouldn’t put too much trust in contracts. There will simply be no more materials available. The shortages at building material suppliers are growing, many yards are practically empty. Delivery times are currently often extremely long, so a reliable completion date cannot be given.
Therefore, please share your experiences here regarding delivery times and price increases.
Either prices are currently skyrocketing, delivery times are exploding, or both. Energy-intensive building materials are no longer being produced. Raw materials are no longer available. Bricks, roof tiles, tiles, insulation materials, wood, steel products, electrical cables, photovoltaic systems, windows, reinforcing steel, concrete, cement, paints, and plasters.
Without gas and oil from Russia, the lights will soon go out here. Nobody should fool themselves. There won’t even be diesel available for the excavator to dig the foundation pit.

Simply no vehicles available on the market.Haven’t you just watched a Mad Max marathon by any chance? What’s next? Hell’s jockeys coming after your pickles from the Spreewald?

You wouldn’t forget, after signing the contract and having the floor plans and everything, to share them with us, right? 🙂 No, no, I’m really eager to share our plan, although with rising interest rates and initial price offers, I’m worried it might turn out a bit too expensive. But my husband is really passionate about it. 🤨
Right now, I’m waiting to get a cost estimate from the company that created the design. When I talk to them, I’ll ask if it’s okay to discuss it here in the forum. It does say “copyright protected” and so on.

I don’t like any of the Teslas that actually exist; I even find the Model X really ugly. The Cybertruck is probably the only one with some appeal. Off topic: I was referring to the Model S. The Cybertruck is too angular for me. But I don’t know much about cars. I just noticed the beauty of the Tesla compared to the other cars parked there.

In the automotive sector, the current situation is that while the purchase contract with the manufacturer regarding the price is being honored, the delivery date is not. In the event of an accident or major repair, there simply are no vehicles available on the market. It is becoming increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to find replacements here. It really depends on your personal requirements – we replaced a car relatively spontaneously just two weeks ago. It wasn’t a fancy new car, but a reliable used one. There are still quite a few of those available on the market at the moment. Regarding developments in new home construction, I can’t contribute much; among close friends, I’ve noticed that it largely depends on one’s own assessment of the current situation.
We’re more concerned with the government’s future climate targets – specifically regarding heating systems – but that’s a different topic.
