Build Smart. Shape the Future – Have Funding Opportunities for Brick Modular Construction Evaluated
Whether it’s a new construction project that meets the criteria of a climate-related subsidy program, employee housing, or housing for apprentices—with the right subsidy programs, financing costs can be reduced, and, in combination with tax depreciation options, a project’s economic viability can be improved. The respective subsidy programs—such as KfW Programs 296 and 297/298, as well as subsidy offerings from L-Bank Baden-Württemberg or BayernLabo—impose different requirements on the specific construction project, including energy efficiency and—depending on the program—additional sustainability and climate criteria.
Leipfinger-Bader’s modular construction system ZIEGELMODULE allows buildings to be designed and constructed using a method suitable for energy-efficient building concepts. Leipfinger-Bader ZIEGELMODULE thus provides a solid foundation for meeting the energy requirements for the entire building necessary to achieve specific Efficiency House levels. Whether a building meets the Efficiency House 40 standard, for example, depends, however, on the specific building design, the building services systems, and other project-related conditions.
This makes it possible to quickly create high-quality living space and—provided the relevant eligibility requirements are met—to design it in a way that potentially qualifies for funding.
Note: Actual eligibility depends on the specific program guidelines, application requirements, and individual project parameters. Binding information can only be provided by the relevant funding agencies or authorized advisory bodies.
Solid modular construction for a wide range of projects
The strength of modular brick construction lies in its tremendous flexibility. Whether for a single building or a large-scale expansion, modular construction using solid brick not only ensures speed and quality but also provides a solid foundation for compliance with the EH40 QNG standard. This ensures that your investment retains its value to the greatest extent possible and remains eligible for funding.
Typical areas of application include, for example:
- Housing construction:
Multi-story housing construction, serial owner-occupied homes, and rapid redensification - Specialized housing:
Retirement homes, student residences, and employee residences - Commercial & Administration:
Modern office buildings, administrative buildings, and commercial projects
