Hello everyone,
I have read a lot about this topic, but I’m still not any wiser. Here in Munich, we generally have the problem that plots of land are very scarce and expensive. Now we have found an offer for a plot measuring 420 m² (4,520 sq ft), and the house plan is already finalized. Our question is whether we should invest an additional 33,000 euros in building a solid construction house (massive house) with 190 m² (2,045 sq ft) of living space or not. The following questions are on my mind:
1.) I was told that achieving KfW 40 energy efficiency standard is not possible with a solid construction house. Why exactly is that?
2.) Is a solid construction house really more expensive? I have read everywhere that prefab houses are more costly.
3.) I find it hard to create a checklist comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two building methods. In my mind, I only think: if there is a fire, I won’t have a house afterward. But how stable is wood compared to stone?
Could someone please help me with this?
Good luck
Yasemin

Yasemin.G25 Jan 2021 20:20I would like to sincerely thank all of you. Many thanks, every single contribution has helped me immensely, and my decision is leaning towards a solid construction home. Not because I have any truly compelling reasons, but rather because it feels like an intuitive choice. When I think about a solid construction home, I feel less uneasy 🙂
Once again, many thanks to everyone, and I wish you all a pleasant evening.
