Sources behind our guides
Our guides rely on official primary sources. Market and structural data on construction in Germany is supplied by the Federal Statistical Office. Informationsdienst Holz provides an extensive library of timber-construction publications. Every private new-build contract in Germany is governed by the building contract under Section 650a BGB — supplemented by the consumer building-contract provisions in Section 650i BGB.
