Hello everyone,
After careful consideration, we have decided to build a house using the "Lego" principle. Unfortunately, we have found very few suppliers online (actually only one) that also offer some level of support. It is important to us to always have a contact person available and to have someone present during the wall casting process. So far, we have only been able to find the company Argisol for this.
Do you know of any companies in the northern German region that offer this building method?
When I look at websites like VariantHaus or similar, it seems they only provide the materials, and the builder is then left completely on their own.

If the problem with the gravel nests can be avoided by reducing the fill height, that is not an issue for me. Unfortunately, the reverse does not apply.

For me, the price will probably be the deciding factor. Between what: concrete block A, B, or C, or between concrete blocks and other wall materials?
The concrete block systems are not easily comparable to each other, as they are designed differently and have different objectives: one manufacturer focuses mainly on special blocks for every variant, while another aims to be a pioneer in the thickness of the integrated insulation, and the third prides itself most on its grooves and so on.

Hello,
I am currently facing the topic of Neodur cavity blocks.
I would be interested to know what decision red-ed has made?
Or if there are any new insights.
Since there is still very little information available online.
Maybe PassivLu’s opinion has changed as well due to defects or similar issues? We decided to go with this construction method.
We had the plans adapted to this system. Depending on the manufacturer, the block heights or widths vary. These blocks also somewhat determine the floor plan.
Every supplier claims to be the "best." It is quite difficult to make a choice. Anyone considering building this way should be aware that they are using a system not widely adopted. This leads to an initial perception of it being complicated and problematic. And by everyone, I mean everyone: architects, structural engineers, site managers, electricians — anyone who has not worked with it before. However, if you find architects, structural engineers, electricians, etc. with experience in this system, opinions change.
I have talked to several people who have built using this method. Apart from the concrete work, I have not heard any negative feedback from the residents. Of course, you have to pay attention to certain details, just like with any construction.
We will start in about 2 months. Once I have gained some experience, I will gladly share it. But you will have to be a little patient.
If anyone has questions, feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Red-Ed

These blocks also partly determine the basic floor plan.It should be added that, as a rule, the aim is to build all the walls of the house using the same system. However, you can also mix materials and use, for example, sand-lime bricks, gypsum boards, or drywall for non-load-bearing interior walls.red-ed schrieb:

Especially for gas, water, heating, ventilation, and electrical installations, I would specifically ask the block manufacturer which tradespeople have already proven themselves. This applies to all trades that need to penetrate walls or ceilings.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

It should be mentioned that usually the goal is to sell all walls of the house made from the same system. However, you can also mix materials, for example, using sand-lime brick, gypsum panels, or drywall for the non-load-bearing interior walls. Well, for the load-bearing walls, I would say it is necessary to stick to one system. But yes, mixing is possible. The question is whether that’s structurally sound.

Especially for gas, water, heating, ventilation, and electrical installations, I would specifically ask the autoclaved aerated concrete block manufacturer which contractors have proven themselves. This applies to all trades that have to penetrate walls or ceilings. Well, I believe there is actually more positive to report beyond just the ingenuity. But I will find out soon. As for openings, these should be planned in advance anyway. Even though making openings in autoclaved aerated concrete blocks (AAC) is easier, it is not always the best solution.
We will see where this leads.
Good night

Here, the price will be the deciding factor for me.
(I can also get concrete cheaper.)
