ᐅ When is the right time to start building?

Some acquaintances are advising me to have the shell structure thoroughly dried out... (to prevent mold, etc.)

What do you think about this?

It is true that a building needs to dry properly, but this can also be achieved with proper heating. During the first winter, a lot of moisture is released from the walls and plaster. You need to heat well and ventilate frequently, and then there will be no mold.

We moved into our house in May and had to heat and ventilate very well during the first year. Even though the building had dried out over the winter, I don’t think you can avoid that. But you’re right, the moisture does need to be removed.

I can only advise you to start building as soon as possible because delays during construction are normal. We had already terminated our previous apartment lease, but the contractors still took a lot of time. It's better to start earlier since you won’t move in any sooner otherwise.

Hi,
It doesn’t really matter when you start, because whether in April or June, the house definitely needs to be finished before winter. It’s always very nice to be in your own home by Christmas; it makes the holiday season something special.

So you think it's possible to skip "frost protection" if you properly heat and ventilate during the first year afterward?
