When you build a new house, you are able to harmonise comfortable living, energy efficiency and design from the outset.

The main advantage of a newbuild is that the windows, doors and sliding doors can be planned from the outset to match the house, the architecture and the desired functions. The shape, colour and technology can therefore be coordinated at an early stage. Measures related to smart home systems, comfort, daylight and energy efficiency can also be integrated directly into the plans. The biggest benefit of a newbuild compared to a renovation is clearly the design freedom and the option to consider all the components as an overall solution from the outset.
In Germany, various subsidy schemes are available for the construction of new residential buildings, provided the building project meets the relevant technical and formal requirements. Energy-efficient newbuilds and specific efficiency standards are particularly relevant in this context. The funding available in each individual case always depends on the specific project, the building and the current funding criteria. It is therefore worth considering this aspect early on in the planning process rather than leaving it until the end. Schüco offers an initial guide via its funding and savings calculator.
A newbuild offers a great deal of freedom, but requires early, holistic planning. Windows, doors, sliding doors, materials and technical features need to be perfectly coordinated from the outset in order to guarantee maximum energy efficiency and a cohesive design.
A renovation, on the other hand, allows you to take a step-by-step approach. This approach takes the existing building structure into account and is preferable if the characteristic style of a property is to be preserved. Whether a complete newbuild or a modernisation is the better option depends on your individual circumstances, your long-term goals and your budget.
The most practical place to start with a newbuild is to define the requirements in terms of materials, form, function, colour and technology. Schüco has a configurator for this, which can be used to pre-design suitable windows, doors and sliding doors. This allows you to quickly see which solutions will work in your home and match up with your priorities.
