Building a house vs. buying a house vs. refurbishing
Like everywhere else on this blog, of course, you’ll find our subjective opinions here. We share our thoughts on the subject of “building a house vs. buying a house” to make it understandable what led us to this decision. Whether this in turn applies to you, only you can judge!

Costs and incidental expenses when building a house – what is involved?
During many consultations with various house builders, we got the impression that the ancillary costs at Viebrock are the most realistic (and therefore the most expensive).

Construction diary #07: Excavation, basement – the excavators move in, the basement floor is poured, the basement walls are erected
Having started with a few inconsistencies, but all of a sudden it’s running like clockwork. RIGHT TO ONE’S OWN IMAGE He who digs a pit for others… No, no, neither the excavator drivers nor we ourselves fell into it. However, we had to be careful (and especially our dear relatives) of disgruntled construction workers, who…
