SaaleBAU as an important meeting place for exchange and communication
Questions about housing are still very important, and SaaleBAU is a first-class point of contact and an important guide for anyone planning a construction project, property redevelopment or home improvement measures for 2024. Beate Zwerenz, Managing Director of HALLE MESSE GmbH, emphasizes: "SaaleBAU is an important meeting place for exchange and communication. For years, it has been a functioning and independent platform that brings together supply and demand. At SaaleBAU, (potential) building owners receive practical and individual support in the planning and implementation of their projects."
Two topics will dominate the presentation this year: energy efficiency and energy-efficient renovation. Numerous solar suppliers will provide expert advice, present possible implementation options and demonstrate energy-efficient measures for new builds, existing houses and apartments. In the context of the use of renewable energies, the question of heating and hot water supply is also of great importance in many households: What can and must I do, what options for conversion, expansion or purchase of new systems make sense and what are the expected costs? The newly launched KfW subsidy comes at just the right time and will be presented at the stands and on the podium at the trade fair, from checking eligibility for subsidies to submitting applications and awarding contracts. -> Hall 2

"Second construction phase"
SaaleBAU is not least a trade fair for doers and active people who want to realize long-cherished wishes. New windows, doors and stairs, new roofs and facades, carports, garages and even fences are all part of the "second construction phase", as are, for example, a new kitchen, a modern bathroom, a pool, a conservatory or covered property planning with new path design, paving, etc. In many cases, decisions have to be made that will last for years - professional support is essential. (Halls 1 and 2)
For your own home
Living is more than just having a roof over your head or four walls around you - your own home is also the realization of a way of life and your own ideas as well as a space for individual design. This begins with the interior design and extends to the creation of residential property, the upgrading of the property and the securing of all of this.
