Housing subsidies for new construction and renovation

Housing subsidies, renovation and documentation

Housing subsidies can help finance the construction or renovation of a home. Applications often require technical information in addition to administrative forms. We prepare energy performance certificates, thermal calculations and the supporting documents relevant to the programme.

Why does the energy certificate matter?

For new buildings, the certificate demonstrates calculated energy performance. For renovations, a comparison of the existing and planned building can show improvements from insulation, replacement windows or a new heating system.

The rules depend on the federal state

Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland have different subsidy programmes, submission rules and deadlines. A small individual measure may require less documentation than a comprehensive thermal renovation. Environmental indicators such as OI3 may also be relevant in certain schemes.

Preparing the application

Useful starting documents include building plans, a description of the project, construction details and heating information. For renovations, planned measures should be clear. Before commissioning calculations, it is worth confirming the specific subsidy route.
