1. Planning a new build or renovation correctly

Anyone planning a new build or renovation should start preparing early, because careful planning not only saves time, but also money and stress. Several factors play a key role here, including:

  • Legal requirements, which can vary depending on the state and construction project,
  • a realistic estimate of possible additional costs, such as for earthworks, outdoor facilities, or technical equipment,
  • as well as clear answers to the most important questions about the process, materials, energy supply, and financing.

Furthermore, energy-efficient construction is becoming increasingly important for many builders. After all, it’s not just about low energy costs in everyday life, but also about long-term security and value retention. That’s why topics such as energy efficiency, modern heating systems, and renewable energies are the focus of HAUS Dresden 2026, where experts will present practical solutions and current developments.

Subsidy programs can also play a decisive role. Depending on the project, KfW subsidies or other government subsidies may be available, for example, for energy-efficient renovations. Those who seek information and advice at an early stage can take advantage of financial benefits and put their construction or modernization project on a solid footing.

2. Consider the garage from the outset

The garage is more than just a parking space. If you want to plan your garage, you should do so early on. This will allow it to be integrated well into the overall construction project.

It is important to ensure that there is enough space – not only for the car, but also for bicycles or equipment. Depending on your needs, a single garage or a double garage may be suitable.

A suitable garage solution takes into account:

  • Size and use
  • Location on the property
  • Personal and individually planned design

Especially in the case of a new build, it makes sense to plan the garage and the house together.

3. Prefabricated garage, brick garage, or wooden garage?

There are various options in modern garage construction. Prefabricated garages are particularly popular because they can be erected quickly and offer good value for money.

Alternatively, some builders opt for brick garages if they want to build something particularly solid. Others prefer wooden garages, for example for aesthetic or ecological reasons.

Careful planning is always important. If you prepare your project step by step, you can avoid surprises and keep an eye on costs.

4. Energy efficiency, renewable energies, and electromobility

A major topic at HAUS Dresden 2026 is sustainable and future-proof construction. The focus is on sustainable construction, high energy efficiency, and the use of renewable energies.

The garage is also becoming increasingly important. With electromobility in mind, a wall box should be planned for. This requires sufficient space and appropriate technical preparation.

Planning early on makes it easier to implement your construction project and allows you to react flexibly later on.

5. Outdoor facilities and property planning

The focus should not only be on the house itself. The outdoor facilities and the overall property planning also play a decisive role in functionality, comfort, and long-term value retention. The location of the garage, the design of driveways, parking spaces, and paths, as well as sightlines and green spaces, should be considered early on and holistically. Short distances from the house to the garage, sufficient maneuvering space, and a sensible connection to the street make everyday life noticeably easier.

Smart planning ensures that the house, garage, and garden are not viewed in isolation from one another, but rather form a harmonious whole. Materials, colors, and proportions can be coordinated to create a coherent appearance. At the same time, practical aspects such as drainage, lighting, or additional storage space can be integrated from the outset.

The Dresden Construction Fair offers numerous ideas, inspiration, and practical examples for this. Here, builders can find valuable suggestions on how to optimally combine architecture and outdoor areas – functionally well thought-out and visually appealing.
