Timber Construction in Rodenberg – Creating Space on the Aue
An extension, a converted farm building, a new roof or a new house: MAIER & PARTNER INNOVATIVBAU creates living space in timber in Rodenberg and the surrounding countryside.
Turning existing buildings into living space
Rodenberg sits in the Rodenberger Aue at the foot of the Deister, with a historic centre of half-timbered houses and the tradition of its old moated castle – and all around it a countryside where many farmyards and outbuildings are no longer needed for agriculture. That is the job we are asked about most often here: turning existing fabric into living space. We convert former farm wings into flats, add timber-frame extensions, build storey additions and re-cover roofs, insulating them in the same operation. Straightforward new builds on plots in Algesdorf, Groß Nenndorf, Apelern, Messenkamp or Pohle are part of the work as well. Timber is ideal for conversions: light, precisely prefabricated and dry to work with, so new components can be joined to old geometries to the millimetre. Where solid construction is the better answer, for instance in the plinth and basement, we combine both methods. From Langenhagen to Rodenberg is around 35 kilometres.
Why converting usually pays off here
An existing building already brings its foundation, its services and often its planning status with it – which saves noticeably compared with a new build. Timber suits that task because it is light and does not overload old fabric, because it can be adapted on site, and because the dry method avoids long periods of moisture. What matters is an honest survey at the start: load-bearing capacity, damp in the masonry and the condition of the roof structure decide what is sensibly possible.

Costs for conversion and new build in Rodenberg
When building within existing fabric, the survey is the most honest part of the calculation – only once we know what the existing structure carries and what condition it is in can the figures be sound. That is why we quote after measurement and planning, but then as a fixed price with clearly described services. Contingencies for surprises in an old building are discussed openly rather than hidden in the small print.
Funding when building in existing stock
For existing buildings, the BEG offers individual measures via BAFA – roof insulation, facade or building services, for example – as well as full renovation to Efficiency House standard via KfW. If the conversion creates genuinely new living space, new-build funding with an Efficiency House level and QNG may also come into play. What applies to your building in Rodenberg we clarify before design work; conditions must be confirmed as current.

Frequently asked questions about timber construction in Rodenberg
Can I convert an old barn in Rodenberg into living space?
Often yes, but it is a permit question. Change of use, boundary distances and fire safety have to be settled, and the existing structure must carry the new loads. We survey the fabric, plan the strengthening in timber and support you through to the building application.
Is a combination of solid and timber construction possible?
Yes, and it is often the most sensible answer. Basement and plinth are built solid, the storeys above in timber-frame or timber-panel construction. That combines robustness where the building meets the ground with the insulation values and short build time of timber.
What does a new roof covering on an old building involve?
More than just tiles. We inspect the roof structure, renew battens and the sub-roof membrane where needed, plan the insulation layer and the airtightness, and detail dormers, chimneys and verges properly. Only then is the roof both watertight and energetically effective.
Do you also build in Algesdorf, Groß Nenndorf or Apelern?
Yes. Rodenberg with Algesdorf and Groß Nenndorf belongs to our area, as do Apelern, Messenkamp and Pohle. To assemble prefabricated components we need a drivable access route and a standing area for the crane; everything else we plan in advance.
