Rhineland-Palatinate: New follow-up cost calculator for sustainable construction projects!

A groundbreaking new tool for Rhineland-Palatinate municipalities is here! The climate protection and the Ministry of the Environment as well as the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance presented the "Follow-up cost calculator 2025 Rhineland-Palatinate", an indispensable instrument that will be available as a user-friendly app from 2025. This innovative tool will help the municipalities to better understand and plan the complex costs of residential land allocations. The use of space in Rhineland-Palatinate is currently over seven hectares per day-far above the desired destination of under a hectare. This jeopardizes biodiversity and climate silence in the newly built -up areas.

The follow-up cost calculator offers a comprehensive analysis of the financial situation by not only collecting short-term planning and construction costs, but also the medium and long-term costs for social and technical infrastructure. "With this tool, the municipalities can strive for the best possible development on site without being restricted in their self -government," emphasized the State Secretary Michael Hauer and Dr. Stephan Weinberg. The cost transparency that the computer offers will revolutionize the discussion about the "right" settlement areas and shows that interior development is often more economical than external development.

A step into the future of urban planning

The building code obliges the municipalities to use land. Moritz Petry, Managing Director of the Rhineland-Palatinate Community and City Association, praised the initiative: "Just try the follow-up cost calculator!". He encouraged the municipalities to include the follow -up costs of building land developments from the start in their decisions. This is not only a question of responsibility towards the present, but also to future generations that have to make the consequences of thinking decisions.

Registration for the new webapp takes place via the website www.fendkostenprechner.rlp.de. By entering relevant data, the municipalities can create precise forecasts about income and expenses. The computer calculates the manufacturing costs and the fiscal effects of a new building area without including environmental ratings. The municipalities receive valuable information about cost -covering building land prices and amortization periods. Flexibly customizable and easy to use, this tool will revolutionize urban planning in Rhineland-Palatinate!
