Construction turbo: Association convinced of effectiveness for mini houses
The ‘Bau-Turbo’ recently came into force, which is intended to accelerate residential construction. Tiny houses and modular houses can be used sensibly and effectively to implement the Bau-Turbo – the Tiny House Association is convinced of this.
With the new possibilities for local authorities to deviate from the development plan and allow buildings in the second row and extensions on garages or commercial units, the tiny house industry could be on the verge of a boom, says association chairwoman Regina Schleyer.
The Tiny House Association therefore supports the German government's new legislative package, which responds to the trend and promotes small buildings in particular through simplification and greater efficiency in the construction industry. With a short construction time of sometimes only a few days on site, modular houses and tiny houses can be erected particularly quickly – especially if the requirements for building permits are handled more flexibly in future. The Federal Ministry of Construction has launched an implementation laboratory to design the construction turbo in a practical manner. The Tiny House Association is actively involved in this.
Association chairwoman Regina Schleyer highlights the many opportunities that second-row construction in particular offers as part of the current easing of regulations. In future, tiny houses could be built in many single-family gardens for grandparents to live in while the young family moves into the family home. This would alleviate the housing shortage and strengthen family cohesion.
