Changes in building law often have far-reaching effects on owners, developers and investors. In 2025, there will still be new regulations affecting the construction and modernization of properties. Anyone thinking about a renovation, extension or new build should find out about the current regulations at an early stage.
Relief for energy-efficient renovations
In order to make existing buildings more energy-efficient, approval procedures for energy-efficient renovations have been simplified. Owners benefit from faster building applications if they are planning measures such as façade insulation, the installation of a heat pump or the replacement of windows.
Digitization of building applications
Many federal states are increasingly relying on digital approval procedures. Building applications can already be submitted and processed online in many regions, which shortens the waiting time for approvals. Owners should ask their local authority whether digital applications are possible and which documents are required.
Stricter requirements for new buildings
The requirements for new buildings have been further tightened, particularly with regard to energy efficiency and sustainability. In future, new buildings will have to meet even higher standards for thermal insulation and sustainable building materials will be promoted more strongly. This can lead to additional costs for owners planning a new home - but at the same time it increases the value stability and long-term profitability of the property.
Conclusion
The new building law brings both opportunities and challenges for owners. While energy-efficient renovations are made easier, the requirements for new buildings continue to increase. Anyone wishing to modernize or build a new property should find out about the current regulations at an early stage in order to benefit from subsidies and avoid delays.
