Building standards for the buildings of the state capital Mainz
Since January 1, 2018, binding building standards have been in force for the buildings of the state capital Mainz, which define minimum requirements that must be met for all new construction, conversion and renovation measures in the city.
What are the building standards?
The building standards serve as guidelines for both internal and external project participants throughout the entire project process, from planning and construction to the management phase. By taking a comprehensive view of a building's life cycle, both in terms of construction technology and costs, more economical and energy-efficient construction is made possible.
They represent a minimum standard and must be complied with in accordance with the currently applicable laws, regulations, and generally accepted rules of technology.
