Hello everyone,
First of all, I hope this is the right section.
I have received several quotes for the shell construction. I’d like to share the one I currently feel best about; it is affordable, and the owner seems both professional and friendly. The references also looked great.
What do you think of this offer? Should I ask for any changes?
Thanks!!!
PS: I could also share the other offers (they are more expensive, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything)……

A small amount of bricks and some concrete might be close. But this has nothing to do with a shell construction. What exactly is supposed to be evaluated here? That’s nonsense, absolutely.Now we’re getting closer to the point. Apparently, your definition of "shell construction" differs.
Shell construction is the completed volume including the roof structure, but without windows, interior fittings, etc.

Shell construction is the completed volume including the roof structure, but without windows, interior finishing, etc. For me, shell construction is without the roof. However, it includes insulation, foundation grounding, basement windows, possibly a garage and basement, drainage, roller shutter boxes, possibly stairs, and possibly earthworks.
I calculate about 500-600 euros per square meter for shell construction. In this example, that would be around 105,000 euros, not 55,000 euros (for 190 m² (2045 sq ft) of living space without basement or garage).

Also, if you add up all the alternative options, you’ll end up with a significant amount. Try calculating everything you definitely need.
To me, that is a shell. The garage also needs to be built with masonry. At least in Bavaria, the roof is not typically considered part of the basic shell construction.

Exterior wall brick Unipor 17.5? Are you building—however—in a commercial area, right next to a carpentry workshop?
This brick is completely unsuitable in terms of sound insulation, even when combined with ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems), due to its very low bulk density of only 750 kg/m³ (47 lb/ft³), and is practically on par with a similarly low-quality aerated concrete block like Ytong.
Did the building authority approve the wall thickness in the commercial zone without any objections? That would add even more absurdity to the whole situation...

This brick is basically useless for soundproofing, even when combined with external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), due to its low bulk density of just 750 kg/m³ (47 lb/ft³), and is practically on the same level as a similarly low-quality aerated concrete block.That’s why a 17.5 cm (7 inch) exterior wall already seems very questionable to me.
