How much material is needed? Gypsum, OSB, insulation and Frigg
I will stock up on some materials I can get at a good price in advance.
140sqm single-story with 2.7m ceiling height. "Normal" amount of rooms and walls. About 7 rooms including the kitchen.
A garage of about 60sqm with a 3m ceiling height, storage along one side.
Frigg for a 140sqm house + maybe a 20sqm enclosed patio.
And frigg for a 60sqm garage.
Insulation for interior walls in the house. The rest is prefab.
How much should I purchase?

I don't mean to be smug, but why don't you sit down and draw up all the walls and figure it out yourself? It's not THAT difficult.
Either use 1.20 panels or 90 panels. Then you just need to calculate how many linear meters of wall you have. If you have stud spacing cc60 or cc45, you'll need to figure out how many sections there will be. Then check the length of the insulation rolls you want to buy.
P.S. Don't forget the "little things" like drywall screws, chipboard screws, spackle, spackle tapes, etc.

It's absolutely not being rude. I don’t have every little detail finalized yet, but I'm trying to get a decent estimate. If it ends up being too little, it's not a disaster. A little too much doesn't matter either; the most important thing is that I buy the items now at the favorable price.Fasting65 said:I don't mean to be rude, but why don't you sit down and draw up all the walls and calculate it yourself?

Well. IF you don't have the energy/want/time/can't make the estimate yourself, then some drawings would probably be needed to make a reasonable estimate. or a list of X number of linear meters of exterior wall, garage exterior wall, friggebod exterior wall, as well as interior walls. Also with thicknesses and heights.
By the way... when you say "frigg". Does it mean friggebod or something else?

I do have the energy but whether it will be correct is another matterFasting65 said:Well.

Additionally, with thicknesses and heights.

I will complete my floor plan sketches and get back to you.
Frigg = the styrofoam for the foundation of the house, garage, and patio.
Now I have an inkling of how it will look. The exterior walls of the house and possibly the garage will be prefab. OSB and drywall will probably still be needed as I will try to buy a lot of materials myself at good prices.
House.

Garage and storage. Is the garage sufficient as a hobby garage to tinker in a bit?
Of course, the bigger the better, but unfortunately, money is a constraint.
There should be a sloped roof outside that will function as a carport.
