Good morning,
I am considering creating checklists and quick guides for "homebuilding novices" to provide a framework for basic questions about construction technology and expected quality levels, enabling people to form their own understanding.
Therefore, my question is whether this would be helpful to you and what scope such a resource should have in your opinion.
I would appreciate it if you could participate in the survey.
Please select below which checklist would be useful to you. Is something important missing? Feel free to add it in the comments 🙂

And what if the craftsman chooses a different (approved) type of balcony waterproofing?
Is the relevant standard linked for each point with minimum and maximum tolerances?
So basically, you want to summarize what tradespeople learn during years of training into simple checkpoints or workflows that a layperson can just check? I remain skeptical for now and will keep playing the role of the complainer here 😉

This was an example and refers specifically to this particular design.
In general, I would phrase it more broadly, but connection heights, for example, remain the same.
Criticism is always a prompt for a productive comparison 😉
However, I have noticed in my work that many do not possess this years of technical expertise, and changes in standards are not always learned.

Bauenaberwie30 Nov 2021 10:39I’m more in favor of creating checklists for technical questions and ideas. Especially during construction, I’ve noticed there are so many small tasks, and you really have to familiarize yourself with each area to some extent. From my research so far, some examples include:
Planning roof windows for roof access in case no other roof windows are installed. Or choosing a monoblock heat pump instead of a split system if possible. Not undersizing the water storage tank, and so on. This also applies to the ventilation system—for example, sealing the ventilation system and ductwork during or immediately after installation to prevent dust or other contaminants from entering. Having points like these compiled in a list would be very helpful for both planning and execution. What do you think?

I am a layperson, and for me, the example above would need to be much simpler—for honesty’s sake, I don’t understand it at all. Or rather, even if I did, I couldn’t evaluate it. How am I supposed to know if the “cavity wall is sealed”?
That’s why we have a construction supervisor.
Who exactly is the target audience supposed to be?

Osnabruecker30 Nov 2021 11:28For me, there was a tick for "planning."
More precisely, it would be: before planning.
So, rather before the initial consultations:
What do I want?
Do I already know what I want?
And then approach the planner with your wishes and open questions.
