Good morning,
Unfortunately, I couldn’t really find much through the search.. O.o
We were actually leaning towards a solid construction house (massive house).. Yesterday, we had a consultation about a Liv...... house, which is a prefabricated house..
We hadn’t really looked into prefabricated houses before, but wanted to hear what he had to say.
A few interesting points came up, for example, water damage.. Since the area is still classified as a flood zone (there was a major flood here in ’94 and never again since then, plus a retention basin is currently being built, so the flood risk is being downgraded), this topic is not insignificant..
The consultant said: If water damage occurs, you can "simply" remove the affected element, let it dry, and close it up again, and you should be fine.. (I don’t really agree with this, but I’m open to being convinced otherwise), which wouldn’t be the case with a solid construction house..
Additionally, there wouldn’t be geothermal or air-to-water heat pumps with underfloor heating, but rather a so-called "comfort climate heating" system, meaning everything is done through air via the ventilation system (air is heated/cooled using a heat exchanger and distributed into the respective rooms).
Has anyone had experience with this? I know it’s a comparison between apples and oranges.
Thanks =)
Regards
Steven

Hi, check your risk zone using the ZÜRS system. Google: zürs zone ermitteln kunze.
You should also contact local insurers before starting construction, as they usually know the risks better and can advise you more effectively than online insurers who have no knowledge of the area.

sorry for the late reply. I checked the flood zone area... Currently, it is still a flood-prone region. According to the water authority, the maps will be updated once the retention basin has been constructed.
After much consideration, we have decided to stick with a solid (concrete/block) house.
Thank you for your responses!
