We have poorly draining soil. Therefore, we need to procure suitable material to backfill the excavation around the basement.
We have two basement windows that are planned to have light wells installed.
We are building with a waterproof concrete shell ("white tank"). The general contractor wants to sell us waterproof concrete light wells for 1500€ each. Is there an alternative? Do we really need waterproof light wells? These two basement rooms do not necessarily require natural light.
But how can we ventilate if we possibly omit the windows altogether?

Oops, with a decentralized controlled residential ventilation system, it naturally becomes more complicated...
There are also watertight shafts made of plastic, but those will cost you around 700-900 € (about 750-960 USD). 1150 € (around 1230 USD) sounds better, it’s still a significant amount of money, but you probably won’t find it much cheaper.
Best regards,
