Hello everyone,
our self-built home project is still in the "decision-making phase." However, for various reasons, we are leaning towards a solid construction method. Now, opinions on this topic can be quite divided. So, my question to you is... Is it advisable to let a solid structure "dry out" over the course of one winter before starting the interior work, or is that just a waste of time?
We are familiar with this approach from older practices, but considering modern building materials, things might have changed somewhat.
Thank you in advance for your answers (which we hopefully will receive)
Best regards
P.S.: Due to a slight slope on the plot, the house is expected to have a basement...

During the shell construction phase, hardly any water gets inside (except from rain).
Either adhesive is used or the thin-bed method is applied.In the end, we had 9,000 liters (2,378 gallons) of water recorded on the construction water meter, including frost damage to the water meter itself, which led to flooding of the construction site when it started to thaw. (The water meter was otherwise intact; only the glass was pushed out.)
