ᐅ Is it still possible to install the concrete slab this year?

Hello and HELP!!!

We are currently very anxious and worried.
How long does a concrete slab typically need to cure before construction can start on it (timber frame prefab house)?

And is "frost" really such a big problem?
If yes (I can imagine due to the water content), does this apply to a prolonged frost period,
or also to, for example, just a few hours during the night or early morning?

We have to hope that we can finish our slab somehow this year,
otherwise our house installation appointment in March/April will be seriously at risk.

We are supposed to get a "Thermo concrete slab KfW-55" (without heating).

Best regards

PATIENCE!

Our building permit / planning permission arrived in June, and the foundation slab was poured in mid to late August.

August is not the same as November/December

and then winter arrives. It will probably last for quite a while...
By the end of the frost period, we will most likely have forgotten that we actually wanted to build a house )))

But why are you in such a rush with the foundation slab and even taking risks related to frost?

I’m in a hurry in the sense of being impatient, which isn’t really a good trait, but given that it’s already been 7 months since signing with the developer, it’s understandable.

Of course, I wouldn’t want to take any risks. It won’t come to that. I would just like to see that the developer has officially started the work. It doesn’t necessarily have to be pouring the foundation slab. Official surveying and staking out the site would already be fine. I’m worried that once the weather improves again, we’ll have to wait even longer because the work hasn’t even started on our lot yet. So “We’ll start in March” quickly turns into “Oops, it’s actually the end of May now, how strange...”
