Zweiter Bauabschnitt Pilotprojekt in Maintal-Bischofsheim

Yes, the house number is clearly visible on the letterbox near the street and on the house during the construction period. This makes it easy for visitors, delivery services and, in an emergency, the emergency services to find your house entrance.

Temporary letterboxes and doorbell systems will be installed during the construction period:

The letterboxes are centrally located on the access path near the street.

The doorbell system will be installed at the building entrance.

Yes, in order to give you more space for your belongings from the cellar and attic, we will place lockable containers in front of the building during the construction period.

For organisational reasons, these containers are not freely accessible at all times.

Please only store items there that you do not need on a daily basis.

If you need something from the container, you will be given access by prior arrangement.

The cellar and attic must be clear for the upcoming work. You will need to move the items stored there. Please take valuables into your home so that the work can be carried out safely and soiling or damage to your belongings can be avoided.

We will provide containers for clearing out before the work begins. These are not intended for household waste or construction waste. You must dispose of hazardous substances (e.g. paint, oil, chemicals) separately and at your own expense.

Yes, we insulate the basement ceiling and the ceiling to the top floor to complete the energy envelope of the building. This insulation work is carried out directly one after the other and takes place separately from the façade work.

No. The storage rooms on the balconies will be removed when the existing balcony systems are dismantled and will then no longer be available.

Due to the new façade, we are slightly adjusting the dimensions of the balconies. However, the total area in square metres remains the same for all balconies.

Yes, the roller shutters will be replaced in the ground floor flats. All flats on the upper floors will have roller shutters for the first time. 
The balcony doors will not have roller shutters for technical reasons and in favour of the passage width. However, they are largely protected from strong sunlight by the new projecting balcony. 
 

The modernisation should be completed by summer 2027. 
The work will not be carried out continuously on your building, but on the various buildings one after the other. 
The measures will take around 30 weeks in total per building. The work in your flat is expected to take around five days. In addition, there will be further individual appointments for preliminary inspections, further work and acceptance inspections.
You will find precise information on the time frame for your building in this information and currently on our website nhw.de/modernisation-maintal. 
 

Yes, we offer on-site tenant consultation hours. There you can discuss your concerns directly with representatives of NHW and RENOWATE. 
The on-site tenant consultation hours currently take place on Tuesday mornings from 8.30 - 9.30 a.m. in the construction container behind Schiller Strasse 12. You can also find the dates on the Internet at: nhw.de/modernisation-maintal

Yes, please remove before starting work:

• External roller shutters you have fitted to the windows
• Awnings or satellite systems attached to or on the balcony
• You must also remove internal sun protection elements such as pleated blinds or internal roller blinds before dismantling the window

RENOWATE will coordinate the dates for the work in your flat directly with you. You will receive appointment suggestions via the RENOWATE tenant portal by WhatsApp, SMS or e-mail.

If you are unable to attend appointments at certain times, individual appointments will be arranged.

To minimise the workload for you, we plan the work so that it takes place several days in a row.

If necessary, you can also leave your flat key with a trusted person or neighbour.

Most of the work in your home is related to the new windows:

• The old windows in your home are removed and replaced with the windows already pre-installed in the façade elements.
• The transitions between the window/balcony door, wall and façade are neatly sealed with panelling.
• If you have wallpapered yourself, we are happy to use this wallpaper to ensure the transition to the existing wall.

Various tradesmen are required for this:

Carpenters, drywallers, painters, electricians and possibly tilers in the bathroom.

Once the work has been completed, we carry out a hydraulic balancing of the heating system. Here we check whether all radiators are being supplied with heat correctly. It may be necessary for us to replace the thermostatic valve on the radiator.

Important: For hydraulic balancing, all tenants of a building entrance or stairwell side (left/right) must be able to access the flat.

Some of the radiators will be replaced. The output of the radiators in your flat are designed for gas heating. A new heat pump was installed in 2022. In future, this will be operated with solar power from the photovoltaic system on the roof, among other things.

We calculate (heat load calculation) whether the output of the current radiators in your home is sufficient. If the calculation shows that the output of a radiator is no longer sufficient, it will be replaced. 
 

Yes. The balcony slabs on the ground floor are also being replaced. 
The special feature: the balcony slab on the ground floor is also the ceiling to the basement. To replace this, a new slab is added to the front. 
 

Yes, the balcony doors will be adapted. The existing door stops in the solid wall remain unchanged. As with the windows, the new frames are slightly wider than the existing ones.

The new bathroom window has a fixed sill element in the lower section. This is a part of the window that cannot be opened.

This change is necessary so that we comply with current building regulations. You can still tilt or open the window in the bathroom to ventilate.

We bring your house up to a very good energy standard. This means that the façade is not only insulated, but also sealed so tightly that outside air cannot penetrate and heat is not released to the outside. This reduces heat loss. To ensure that there is still enough fresh air in the home, we install ventilation elements.

Kitchen: Here, the ventilation is located under the window, at window sill level. This makes the glass surface of the window slightly smaller.
Bathroom: The ventilation unit is mounted on the outside wall in the bathroom. The air is exchanged via a hole in the wall. 
These devices are in constant operation and discharge stale air from the entire home to the outside. It is therefore normal for the fan to run constantly.
Important: The ventilation does not replace regular airing for 5-10 minutes. Please continue to ventilate several times a day!
 

All windows will be replaced. The number of windows remains the same. The new window frames will be wider than before due to the improved thermal insulation. The windows are located on the outside of the prefabricated façade element. If the new window handles are too far away for you, we can provide you with handle extensions. We install ventilation elements in some windows.
