The government will set aside 30 billion for home renovations

The labor movement's fight for rights was again celebrated this year on May 1 in Fælled Parken as it has been since 1890. However, conditions were somewhat different this year as a result of the corona crisis, among other things the Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksens speech, was broadcast live from the Workers Museum in Copenhagen. In addition, one of her first initiatives was that the government will allocate DKK 30 billion for renovation of public housing, which will help to combat the unemployment that is currently being experienced as a result of the corona crisis. With an extraordinary effort already this year.

Among other things, it is mentioned that something must be done about out-of-date housing to improve tenants' housing and living conditions. In 2018, Building regulations introduced that all new construction over 3 floors should have an elevator that can serve each floor, and this applies per rise in places where there is more than one. A very small proportion of existing housing construction in Denmark has an elevator at present, but the demand for elevators is rising from both housing associations and housing seekers. There can be many benefits to planning elevator installation in existing renovation work or projects.

Benefits of installing an elevator in the renovation project

If you are already in the process of renovating or rebuilding a home that requires construction workers, it can be advantageous to prepare for an elevator at the same occasion as it is cost-saving. For example, if balconies are being installed, the external elevator can be added. Or if you renovate the back stairs, or renovate the attic space, there are many benefits to preparing for an elevator in the same occasion. In this way, the preparatory work will be taken into account which will allow for an elevator.

If you have an old elevator in the property, it will be required by law at some point to update or remodel it, there are also benefits to planning for this under existing renovation projects.

There are also benefits to installing an elevator such as adding value to the property compared to buildings without an elevator. Not least, there is a huge advantage tol opening up accessibility for people with walking dificulties bug also for relieving heavy lifting of shopping bags, strollers, bicycles and more.
