SilverStone21 Nov 2015 11:32Hello,
I’m new to the forum and currently starting to think and plan for a self-built home!
I would like to know more about the possibilities of using exposed concrete for walls, ceilings, stairs, etc.
Specifically:
- How does the cost of a concrete wall compare to a masonry wall?
- Who offers this kind of work?
- How can electrical installations be neatly integrated into the wall without chasing or cutting grooves?
- What is the price per square meter for exposed screed/concrete floors?
- Where and how can one get stairs like this?
As you can see, I have quite a few questions.
Can anyone help me? I definitely want exposed concrete walls 🙂 but, of course, it’s all a matter of cost...
Regards,
Jörg

Currently, there are lime-cement plaster, precast concrete ceilings, and cement screed – obviously, this is not intended to be left exposed, but right now it doesn’t feel very cozy 😀
I think to make it look good, you need to plan it very carefully (or have it planned) – including the interior design.
It can definitely be done – and I don’t think it’s very difficult to find someone for that.
I would guess that the installations are poured in at the same time?!
Otherwise, ask the building experts; they can probably give you a more detailed professional answer.

SilverStone21 Nov 2015 15:22We don’t have anything like that here... Besides, I don’t really want to do everything with concrete on concrete... But I would like to learn more about everything...
Hello,
For our new build, I ground the concrete slab with integrated cooling/heating pipes. This is how it looks at the moment:
The floor was treated before the house was assembled.
The surface is still quite rough. I need to decide how to proceed from here.
Since I was able to use grinding blocks returned from rental, the cost was 300€ for 250 m² (2,690 sq ft).
