Probably the biggest challenge in the renovation industry is the complexity of the renovation measures themselves. Every house and every apartment is different, so there are usually no standard solutions. That’s why the services of a specialist tradesman are always needed on site.

Renovation of old buildings is a particularly large potential market. The aim of building renovations is usually to save energy. Particularly in connection with digitization, refurbishments offer the opportunity to digitize the existing stock of old buildings for the first time.

For craftsmen in the refurbishment sector, there are already initial digital solutions that simplify the management of customer and project data. Due to the complexity of a renovation project as described above, the main focus is on visualization and transparency in the consultation process, including the procurement of the appropriate craftsmen. This is where the first platforms are emerging that provide advice on insulation, more efficient heating or modern windows, for example, and help to find the right tradesmen. In addition, digitization is also helping to improve energy efficiency in the respective buildings. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Other digital trends in the refurbishment industry include serial refurbishment or so-called smart buildings, which can already be used to control buildings intelligently.
