Märkische Projekt Bau
Check Your Funding
The federal government and the state of Brandenburg support new construction, purchase and renovation with grants and low-interest loans. Which programs apply depends on the project, the building and often the household income.
In an initial consultation we check which funding is available for your project and plan the work so that the technical requirements of the programs are met.
The essentials first
- Funding applications almost always have to be submitted before construction starts or contracts are signed.
- The same measure can only be funded once: KfW loans, BAFA grants and the tax bonus are mutually exclusive.
- Many programs require a certified energy efficiency expert. We coordinate this with our partners.
- Funding budgets are capped and were cut significantly in 2026. Applying early pays off.
