Hello everyone,
I am currently considering building a duplex and am looking for ideas on how it could or should be constructed to ensure a sustainable building in the long term. Of course, it also has to remain affordable.
On the internet and from building planners, you often hear that "this particular method" is the best, depending on the preferences of the contact person. Perhaps someone here can share how they built theirs or what could be done better or differently, so I can get a clearer picture for myself.
Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to help!
Best regards,

Can anyone say something about the impact noise problem? From a building acoustics perspective, it certainly won’t be ideal, but if you can accept that. A continuous structural layer without decoupling using perimeter insulation strips will at least on the ground floor not meet the current technical standards regarding sound transmission. If you also plan to work without a screed on the upper floor and want to apply the floor covering directly onto the concrete slab, it will become quite uncomfortable in the rooms for children upstairs and downstairs.

A foundation without screed (and without underfloor heating) combined with Foamglas seems reasonable to me. Then you should expect a tricky situation. According to DIN 18356, concrete structures are not considered a standard-compliant substrate for floor coverings. Your floor installer will probably tell you this as well. In case of defects, which can occur with non-breathable floor coverings on concrete, your chances for claims are very low.
It can be done, but even with meticulous planning and precise execution, the result might not be good (especially in terms of building acoustics).
The noise issue might be solved by installing a separation there, as the party wall apparently has to be built as a double-shell fire protection wall anyway... please correct me if I’m wrong...
And whether the concrete or the screed has some residual moisture... what difference does that make for the flooring?

Isn't that possible with concrete as well?The usual methods probably don’t work for that. We might also build with such a slab foundation, and the supplier provides guidelines for floor coverings. There is a specific heating program and an unusual method involving a plastic sheet glued onto the slab.
