"Do you have have Google Earth in Germany?" No, it's just named "Google EARTH" for fun. 🤣🤣🤣

As it has no cellar, it is rather atypical.

German houses are a lot more expensive than American houses, but also a lot sturdier. Over the time, they are cheaper, as there will be less to repair.

Not really a classic German house. Especially because there is no cellar/basement. Houses without these are built like that because of money. Digging and building a cellar ist very expensive, but a part of a typical German house

Practically, all houses in Germany are built this way, reinforced concrete floor and bricks. Insulating bricks are a newer development. The elements for the ceiling are called "Fettdecke". When our house was built in 1969, they were unknown. To pour the ceiling, all rooms were full of adjustable steel columns with wooden sheets on top. Then the electrician builds a network of tubes and a ceiling outlet for all rooms because the electricity distribution is in the ceiling enclosed in the concrete. From the ceiling, tubes are run down to where switches and wall outlets are to be. They have a special tool to cut grooves in the wall, looking like an angle grinder with two disks. After this is all installed, the ceiling is poured. Routing additional power lines or pipes requires significant effort. The pieces over the window openings are especially strong concrete beams. If you try to drill a hole into them, you notice the big difference to a regular wall. I wish our house were built with these insulating bricks. In 1969 insulation was irrelevant, heating was very cheap. Until 1974.

I don't know one house in Germany without a basement.

12 m³ concrete ≈ 28.8 metric tons Of course we have Google Earth in Germany. If you want to see the roof you should watch part 3.

Is there Google Earth in Germany? No, of course not. The whole earth, except Germany! We still live in trees and send messages with bush drums! 😀

The Installation of the Electric and Heating,Water and Technic stuff is the important part!

There are additional videos for this house, where it gets finished.

Yeah, we still do tend to build for centuries... let's say, it's a habbit ;D

Our houses are mostly built of stone. My house (Approx. 300m² of living space without storage rooms, technical rooms and stairwell with hallway) with fired Poroton brick with a wall thickness of 40cm because of the insulation. The windows are triple glazed. On the roof are heavy concrete tiles (type: Frankfurter Pfannen). The masonry stands on a homogeneously cast reinforced concrete floor slab with a foundation substructure, depending on the subsoil (sand, gravel, rock). The ceiling panels consist of 20-25cm thick reinforced concrete. The roof beams are made of wood that could bear an extreme snow load. The side bars of my house are 40cm high and 35cm thick. They have a length of 16m each. The roof beams are 20cm high and 14cm thick! The completely finished basement has the same floor plan as the ground floor and could be lived in! I live in the Swabian Alb. The building regulations require a stable (expensive) construction. I have a double garage with an extension for garden tools. The garage is not connected to the house and can be reached through a door through the courtyard. The length of the garage is 10m, the width is 7m. Both floors have a bathroom and one each guest toilet. The guest toilets are each also equipped with a urinal (for the boys). The heating is a combined oil-solar central heating. In addition, each floor has a tiled stove(heated with wood). The room height, including that of the basement, is 2.8 m. The basement could be inhabited, it is completely covered with tiles! In addition, it has a toilet and a shower (after gardening). Owning your own house is very expensive in Germany, which is why most Germans rent it. I was lucky that my father was a master mason and I was able to learn a lot from him. In addition, my brothers and brother-in-law have been very supportive. I think it would have been more difficult! Not to forget, we have a Liebherr fridge-freezer combination on every floor. We also have a huge freezer in the basement. For the venison from my son(hunter).😉

No houses in Germany are taken away ... they all stay where they were built..... you sell your house and buy a new one - or rent one ..

I have to say it…. I love to hear you say Moin. As a North German it‘s sounds so familiar to me. Wonderful

The U and Canadian houses are huts, glued together with salvia. Lousy insulation forces You to AC in summer and heating in winter, and never trouble with termites Whatever You save on the house You pay later via the electricity bill Check Part 2 to see the rest

Hello! Watch to the End!More Parts next time please 😊

Ein massives Haus hat eine geplante Gewährleistung von 300 Jahren,ein Fertighaus 80 Jahre. Der Überstand ist die(Regen) Traufante .Man braucht ca.1000 Steine für ein kleines Haus.

The reddish bricks are adobe. They have a high (heat) insulation value but are more expensive than default concrete bricks. Other popular bricks are heavy, white limestones (high noise insulation) which are often used for structural walls between two apartments and between apartments and staircases in apartment buildings. Some people also use them for walls without casing or stukko e.g. garages and garden walls. Then there is Ytong (a brand name) or autoclaved aerated concrete. They are ultra-light weight (because they are 50% air) and can be sawed to fit.

A typical german house. 1st minute: no basement. I'd say, a basement IS typical. Funny side fact: in my younger years, i was a plasterer (you know, those guys who do plastering and "stucco"). Stucco (Stuck) is actually a special part of plastering in germany, those fancy ornaments and colums and stuff. I was 17 and wanted to finish my apprenticeship in germany, so i could then go to the US as the MAN and plaster all the US guys on the wall (wordplay?). Turned out, they send me on a job by myself, the first day. They told me, they prepared everything and i would find a toolbag there, with everything i need. When i opened that bag, half the tools i had never seen before in my life. It was literally to 70% a different job. PS: might have slipped your attention, but this seems to be a multi part series (roof f.e.), since this said "part 2" in the beginning

For your information... This is actually a DEMO house. Germany and Denmark have the same type of builds.

Thats why German houses last and American houses get blown away.

It's not a typical German house, because it has no basement and there are other parts in the build in later videos that are not standard. It's maybe a standard for the specific company that built the house. Having no basement reduces the resale value and garages or sheds are not really an alternative. German garages are only barely bigger than a car with average 5x2.5m and when there is a car inside there is no place for a hobby room like in a basement. The most expensive part is the property in most areas and often you are limited in building height, so an additional floor above ground is not possible an dosme don't have the space for a garage. The average price for a floor slab is about 170€/m² and for a basement about 180-250€/m² (sometimes more) depending on the ground material and in my opinion if you save money by not building a basement you should wait until you have the money for a basement.

Many houses are built brick by brick, but there are also houses based on timber frame construction. A house like this is currently being built in our town and in another street 2 detached houses and 1 semi-detached house have been built . As a rule, it can be said that after the shell has been completed, it takes around 3 months for the interior work. Depending on whether you buy directly from a property developer or have an architect plan and build your house, the construction time often depends on the availability of the individual trades and on imponderables, such as delays due to extremely bad weather.

Your "moin" was too good I thought i started a German video

Perforated clay bricks are popular in Europe, and this house last for 300 years

They show how the roof looked at the very begining.

Much sturdier than stick construction, better insulation and no chance of mold problems caused by construction errors. The downside is price which is obviously higher.

A lite deck icf roof is 6 inches of structural concrete. Then a EPDM layer, then 2 inches of concrete and waterproofing. The EPDM lasts forever being buried, and the roof is insulated via lite deck. Tornado proof and super strong, and can handle any amount of snow load.

Common house building in western Europe, not only in Germany, of course several techniques and material exists but the results are almost the same, a strong concrete house made from blocks and bricks ;-)

I worked under a chef and it was so much fun to watch and also a lot frustrated how he complicated his building site! Also he hired the cheapest workers who were not able to do anything properly! In this video it shows how its done but some German contractors work like verbrechers means something like scammers! I also experienced alot of great contractors here 2! Many scammers mostly have a short period to do Business locally then they have to depend on clients minimum 16miles away from company location!

That was not a typical German house. It did not even have a cellar and modern day houses are way flimsier and more cost effective. Houses here used to be way more solid with much thicker walls and the costlier houses are made of concrete. Good thing is that modern walls are less prone to mould and will still be sturdy enough and insulate just as well. Never seen a German house without a cellar though. The music is embarassing though. I would expect this music to accompany a mission to Mars perhaps. It is way too epic and upbeat for the building of a random house that doesn't even have a cellar.

I follow a channel in which a woman who normally knits is "renovating" an old house near Vancouver on her own with her boyfriend. In reality, they are actually tearing it down. 😄 I've been working in the German construction industry for over thirty years as a design engineer in a structural engineering office and every time I watch their video, I wonder more how this old hut has been able to stand for so long. 😉😄🇩🇪🇪🇺

At least in my area of Germany the outer walls are at least 3 layers, the immer load besting layer is usually constructional calcium silicate bricks (large scale, the whole layer is), mineral wool as thermo insulation, a thin layer of air to dry the insulation and bricks if they ever get wet )optional, and an outer shell of either clinker bricks (those are regulated at around 11,5cm × 24cm and 6,5 cm) or plaster/ stucco (the inside usually is stucco + paint or stucco+ wallpaper+ paint. The loadbearing elements can vary, but it's usually wood, brick, concrete or steel, ceilings are usually steel+concrete unless that would be too heavy, the building is old or you're at the uppermost floor. Hope that helps :D

This ist not a german house, it's just a "cheap" bungalow ... no cellar and stuff! We have some of this buildings in our area, but I don't wanted to live there! *sorry

I knew it was not the largest, but now you made me check... Vancouver island is number 43

One more reactor who doesn't notice that the endcard has a playlist of all episodes. So the number of those who did notice still remains at 0. ;) Although, parts 7 and 8 are not available in English, but I see others have already linked them. This house uses underfloor wiring, a fairly modern technique. I think it became popular after people noticed that underfloor heating pipes worked well and wondered if the same could be done for electrical wires. Traditionally, electrical wires are run in channels cut into the bricks about a foot below the ceiling, unlike, for example, the UK, which traditionally runs them below the floorboards.

The precision in german construction has to be 1% The 12m² concrete weigh when wet 30 metric tonnes. Dry maybe 25 mt

Now, you have to watch all the episodes of this house building journey.

You should watch part 3

I think that documentary is divided in 4 part, it shows the entire house in the last part

Don't be confused mace, it was twenty years ago that detached houses in Germany were always supposed to have a cellar. Due to the rise in construction costs, most builders have been doing without basements for decades now.

How about taking a look at the German demolition industry and the specialized machinery we use.

Depending the quality of concrete it weighs between 2.2 and 2,4 Tons per cubic Metre! Kindly the Danish Viking

Largest Islands: Greenland New Guinea Borneo Madagascar Baffin Island Sumatra Honshu Victoria Island Great Britain Ellesmere Island

this house looks like a very low budget variant

Big FAIL: They didn't put traditional Norwegian turf / grass on the roof! And no goat on the roof either. Goats are mandatory on roofs in Norway.

It's terrible if they don't add additional thermal insulation on the exterior, because that system is full of thermal bridges.Relying only the insulation inside the blocks means that all that ceramic "comb like" structure transfers heat around the insulation. Heat finds ways just like water. It's called a thermal bridge. In the winter, heat passes through that wall just like water through a sieve. As an architect, I also envy how easy german codes are on the structure, due to having no quakes. In Romania (seismic zone) we have to add reinforced concrete columns even on a single floor house (at least 25x25cm/10x10in, but sometimes 35x35+) on (almost) every wall intersection, every 4m (~13ft), both sides of any opening(door/window) larger than 2.5sqm/~27sqft and the list goes on. What they've built in this vid would be considered very flimsy here. It would not pass inspection and would either be demolished or expensively reinforced.

6 month is not much, but considering a basement is missing, I guess it is ok. Typically a German house needs about a year to finish.

They could've spent a few bucks on a translator, but I guess a somewhat awkward AI translation got the job done just well enough.

This House has no typical Cellar, only a non normal basement. 😳

Six months build time is still a relatively short time. Somewhat larger or more involved projects take between 12-24 months, some even longer. But for most building projects the planning and administrative stage is the longest part. Getting all the paper work done in Germany is HELL! If the ancient Romans hadn't perfected bureaucracy Germans would have. 😄 Once a German house is built it takes some major catastrophe to bring it down. Normal storms do nothing to a German house. Yeah, they might take off a roof tile or two, but usually nothing major. It is quite possible that the grandkids of the couple that built this house will still live in this pretty much unchanged house. Such a house is usually planned to last for at least 70 years, minimum, if not longer. So yeah, investing in good construction techniques may be expensive in the beginning but it will pay for itsself over time. Personally I live in a house in Hamburg that was finished in 1958. So in a mere four years my house will reach that 70 year mark, and I can say with confidence I will be living here in another 20 years NO problem.

The orginial video cries out "I am not a real speaker - I am an AI-generated voice!" - a.k.a. Crap.

11:13 the amount of steel bars that are embedded in concrete depends very much on the area. If the area is in an earthquake zone, there will be much more steel in the concrete.

Unfortunately the series isn't completely posted on YT, but if you google the company Brale you'll find a homestory with the owners. Then you can see the downside of expensive massive construction - the interior is a bit sparse and improvised. The typically lack of money in the first 20 years. Personally, I don't like the layout of the rooms either. A master bedroom with only 16 square meters is a bit small.

No basement, no fritzl

Some "typical" houses are built in 2 weeks (mostly prefabricated ones). Others can take 2 years (mostly with do-it-yourself construction of if the first construction company went bankrupt between). Most houses are still built in "Massivbau" (massive construction) style with either concrete or brick walls (sometimes also a mixture of both), which means as a rule 3 to 6 months construction time, but the market share of modern prefabricated houses is rising (using mostly heavily insulated wood stand construction modules, but also some using log house construction, concrete modules or brick-based modules). 7 minutes vid by a supplier of prefabricated houses: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rr9yg7eWx8W8nYE.html / 49 minutes documentary about building a prefabricated house during wintertime (featuring another supplier, one of the biggest in Germany, and including details about the prefabrication process): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLeThM-pqaudl5c.html

Wooden houses the way they are bulit on north america would be terribhle in germany. they have almost no insulation meaning your heating bill would be through the roof.. energy and electricity costs 3-4 times as much in germany as it does in Northa america

This isn't typical. Normally, you have an inner wall of sand-lime bricks and an outer wall of clinker bricks. The insulation is on the inside of the inner wall. But theoretically, you can also put the insulation between the two walls.

wow four ciling windows... i have just one... 5.5m x 2.3m...

You can also find movable houses in Germany... They are called caravans.

An insulated form Concrete house would go up faster and be stronger. I wonder if Germans are using ICF?

I yhink the original is in German. Knowing Germans, they hate making subtitles. So they did it this way. American movies is also synchronized with (real) German vouce actors. Not so here in the Netherlands 😊

A typical German Family home, with a special kind of Brick that is proprietary to this construction company...Ah well, similar enough i guess.

Do we have Google Earth in Germany? Are you serious?

It's not a classic european house. Even There are a multitude types of constructions

some...german houses. rest are made from Stones and Concrete.

You should see a Greek house!even German ones look fake compared to them

HAhahaha, AI! Do you really believe we Germans are so fast to do AI-Videos in business context? 😂

Its called google EARTH. Germany is on Earth if i am right.
