Get out of the rented apartment and into your own four walls. The prefabricated house manufacturers have a lot to do. The industry continues to expect good business in the coming months.
The desire to own a home continues to bring good business to the prefabricated house industry.
The 49 companies in the Federal Association of German Prefabricated Buildings (BDF) expect sales to increase by 2.9 percent to a total of EUR 3.49 billion in the current year, as BDF President Hans Volker Noller announced in the run-up to an event in Künzelsau (Hohenlohekreis). The order backlog has grown to an average of 16 months across the industry due to the conclusion of numerous new contracts.
From January to July 2021, 67,507 single and two-family houses were approved nationwide, 15,330 of which were prefabricated, as the association further announced, citing the Federal Statistical Office. The market share is thus 22.7 percent. Five years ago it was just under 18 percent. In some federal states – especially in Baden-Württemberg (39.6 percent) and Hesse (36.8 percent) – the market share is well above the national average.
Unlike solid houses, prefabricated houses are usually prefabricated in special halls and then assembled on the property like a kit. Association president Noller called for a separate ministry for building and infrastructure in the future federal government. Building is a political task of such magnitude and importance that can only be adequately represented and dealt with in a separate ministry. So far, the topic of building has been dealt with by the Federal Ministry of the Interior.
