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.

So, just to conclude: Is it still not cheaper to build with Neopor blocks?No, basically building with formwork blocks is not cheaper. They are just the oldest construction method for self-builders, dating back to when small-format solid bricks were still laid with wet mortar. Meanwhile, large-format blocks that can be laid with level joints have been available for a long time, and this is easiest with aerated concrete. Today, masonry with planed blocks featuring interlocking joints instead of butt joints is more efficient and less labor-intensive than in the early days of the “alternative” formwork blocks. Accordingly, the savings margin for doing masonry yourself has shrunk. At the same time, due to energy-saving regulations and their practical effect—generally prohibiting the chasing-in of downpipes in external walls—this trade has also become more complex. Overall, masonry today is better suited for semi-skilled workers but less suitable for beginners. What I strongly advise against is building a house not planned for a formwork block system using formwork blocks anyway. All the craftsmen you still need even with your own work must first learn how to handle the specifics of such a system. So don’t employ anyone without experience in this area. In summary: naively building with formwork blocks barely reduces the cost of the structural shell and can even slightly increase the overall house cost. If you don’t believe it, just search for the dreaded term “site hours.”https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

I built with a "kit" made of Neopor, using a kit from Izodom Germany. I am very satisfied. The shell construction was finished in 1 week, and the house was turnkey in 5 weeks. All at a good price. It is a Passive House Plus (or a bungalow) with a photovoltaic system, solar hot water, and ventilation. 170 sqm (1830 sq ft) including land for €200,000 (however, without a basement, as I don’t need one). I assembled the elements myself (the instructions come with the kit) and had the electrical work only inspected by a licensed electrician. I am extremely happy and will no longer need gas or oil in the future, and I even sell electricity.
