New round in the battle for supremacy in the German furniture trade

New round in the battle for supremacy in the German furniture trade. With a multi-million dollar expansion campaign, the Swedish furniture giant Ikea plans to significantly expand its dominance in its most important export market. On Tuesday, the company announced the opening of six new furniture stores in North Rhine-Westphalia. Main focus is to be the Ruhr area. In addition to new locations in Wuppertal, Bottrop and the regions of Bochum / Herne and Castrop-Rauxel replacement buildings for existing homes at the sites and food Kaarst are planned, it said. The company estimated the investment at around 400 million euros in NRW, of which about 250 million euros in the Ruhr. Overall, 750 new jobs will be created. In the medium term, the Swedish furniture giant plans to up to 70 increase the number of German furniture stores from the current 48 significantly. Sales in Germany is expected to double in the next ten years from the current 4.12 billion euros in the fiscal year 2013/2014 to around eight billion euros almost.

A laborious day…

Actually house-builds already is a laborious venture, but there are days, there became dearest one…
There we beside an existing house build and the distance for a division of property are too small establish we the house in the “residential property” (as normally also with double or terraced houses one makes) for it need one a “utilizable value appraisal” from an expert. That calls me today and states I must a layout plan with the drawn in garden portions of the municipality approve let!?!
I telephoned then all day long and my notary as well as a civil geo meter and several people, who have even a house in the property say that that are not correct! Also my municipal office says that they cannot approve anything, because there is to approve it to there nothing! Now I must convince either my expert or look for a new… aaaarrrg!
Around today also still which constructional to posts I hang the sketches of Ergdgeschoss and upper floor on, those wanted I for a long time posts: -)
Supplement: The ground floor I updated, in the upper floor tunes the furnishing not yet completely and the small 14m ² - room becomes the parents bedroom.

An eventful week lies behind us…

… and a still much more more eventful lies before us!
Last week we assigned the wells and the channel at the company Steiner building. The first offer for the channel shocked us, but after a clarifying telephone call the expenditure could weden within limits held by something restructuring.
We found also a geo meter for the “Parifizierungsplan” demanded by our consultant. The plan will load our budget again also over 1.000, - €, since a measurement is necessary locally.
The electrician has itself the installations locally regarded and now is certain that we will get their own inlet and their own current support to need. Total costs for river from the property border 7,000 estimated in the house € - (!)
Vienna stream wanted for the registration data to our heat pump as we an aluminum melt would establish (phase angle, break-away starting current, approach assistance…), it does not pull any more river than a laundry dryer, in addition our electrician would have had to stamp each sheet - therefore we must send the documents again to it for marking, but the really nice coworkers in the vienna current agency Schwechat make up for much again.
At the DO. 13.7. we had a further detailing date with that the basement were discharged, in the ground connection and upper floor give it however which planning concern still some to do, therefore Kerstin and I are on Sunday evening to midnight sat and the plans have controlled, the list with the corrections and/or questions have I today at Mr. Egger of the company Romberger dispatched and a detailing date will be still necessary.
In the meantime already surcharges have themselves with the house for increased output and accessories (div. Mäuerchen, RDS executions in the cellar etc.) on several thousand euro summed up and some breaking into are missing still: - (
We have to remove the weekend used by the remaining bushes from property to and shift a glasshouse, which would be confessed to the building in the way.

The “venture” of the old house runs fully in the schedule and at property already piles up itself sand and earth mountains. Until 20,7. them are finished and punctually to 21.7. presumably begin the excavation by the company Blaha from Velm. In the picture left one sees like so a “venture” before itself goes

Date with our construction supervisor…

Today (Mi. 22.6.) our construction supervisor was to be regarded Mr. count of the company Romberger locally on the building site around itself property and the approach roads. Since the crane a relatively large fastened utility space needs and we in the future garden no mounting material to up-pour to want to have we the road for 1 day with the cellar to set up and 2 days with the house sets up to close (whether completely or only will be still it shown one driving strip). I.e. clarify thus on to the municipality and…

Several acquaintance us already visited around the building site and also a family those have to visit plan Rome mountain RH from to build already past looked. We have even already the first advance notifications of Zusehern for setting up the house: -)
“High point” so far was however a look-merry, which ran around on the building site. Property is not enclosed however that has it prevented simply over the shut-off position to rise: - (

Thick praise of the foreman!



Today the remainder of the crushed stone tumbling was applied and our foreman regarded the excavation. It was totally enthusiastically of it as good and precise Mr. Blaha worked! In the afternoon the material for the base plate on the building site was then already unloaded.

Day guard!



Today punctually 6:30 stood the boss (Mr. Blaha) personally as excavator drivers and two trucks before the door. To short discussion went loosely, until in the evening the gesammte excavation was settled and the majority of the crushed stone tumbling was already aufgeracht: -)
Unfortunately too little place for the storage of the excavation is, alone with the surface soil was the whole storage space fully thus had only everything to be removed and later must again material to the Hinterfüllen and Anschütten be brought at property: - (

Bad messages at the current volume

Yesterday Christian has to communicate me called around me that our Installateur does not think itself the assembly capable of of our shower cup! We want a snail shower!
On the one hand it is naturally bad for us, if our Installateur cannot install the shower cup, but I find it mad, if someone can admit that one cannot somewhat. Better clarify that before than afterwards blöd look.

Anyhow, I, Austrotherm thought no problem know reliably a Installateur in our proximity. of those he, the kit comes for the snail shower. It can supplied in each size individually. I experienced that also only, when I inquired at the company after reference objects in our proximity. Hrn. degree well-being very fast (usually within hours) with all our requests dealt.

Today I received an answer from him, found he a Installateur from Knittelfeld, which can make the installation. I love my homeland that however the Installateur is to come from this corner of our country???? Well nothing costs inquiries.

Heat pump permission 2.Teil

Thus I hope that am in such a way correct, I straight our Ansuchen to the post office brought. I am by the way Kerstin, if someone should be surprised at the something other write style;)

After we visited all neighbours on weekend, we have everything which we not to have found to announce itself to 3 days time given to us. We have everything, where we did not know whether them a well have a notification into the post office box thrown.

On Wednesday I was then on the municipality Himberg and have Fr. Karlseder asked us the owner data to the plot numbers to determine.

In addition it is to be said that we have a completely mad building paper in Himberg. Hrn. Ruzak and Fr. Karlseder so far already often supported us with helpful information, THANKS.

On the next day fetched I registered the data 4 x then as copying exercise into our submitting documents. Caution-half I settled the expressions of the municipality, who white whether my writing is legible enough.

And now we wait for feedback the district captain shank.

Handle flash… (for heat pump permission)

After we last week the submitting documents for our ground-water heat pump to have received had to list we for the procedure all wells in the closer environment.
Unbelievably however truely: since there is no obligation to register for house wells had we from door to door to go and to inquire, that is with water law procedures allegedly so usually: - (were over 50 properties) we have now approx. 25 wells on the list and my wife get ourselves then at the municipality the names of the associated owners of real estate property…

We have the building permit and the energy document of identification

We got the building permit today! The energy document of identification was corrected and the characteristic energy value was already computed now with 27 Kwh/m2!!! : -) I angesucht this evening already on-line around housing promotion.

Energy document of identification

Today the “energy document of identification” came, the yardstick for housing promotion is. Unfortunately I had to state that the controlled dwelling ventilation was not considered. Thus a characteristic energy value of 45Kwh/m results ². Since I have the program for the computation at home, I the values directly entered and determined, that the characteristic energy value with ventilation with approx. 27Kwh/m ² to lie would have - those are 2 promotion stages (7,330 more national loans correspond)! That must be clarified now very fast with the company Romberger, otherwise we cannot to submits and our request this year no longer is treated! In addition gibt's two further ambiguity bez. the values for the windows, which constitute however max. 2Kwh/m ².
