Living Fertighaus

What Living Fertighaus does

Living Fertighaus GmbH, operating under the brand name Living Haus, is a German prefabricated home builder headquartered in Schlüchtern. Founded approximately a decade ago, the company designs, manufactures, and sells customizable single-family prefabricated houses (Fertighäuser) as well as multi-family homes for property investors, offering over 750 pre-designed floor plans with extensive customization options. Its core technical offering centers on the proprietary I-KON sustainability system, which integrates photovoltaic panels, battery storage, heat pumps, and controlled ventilation to enable net-positive-energy homes; the company holds DGNB Gold and QNG certifications, and reports that 75% of houses built in 2021 were configured with I-KON.

The business model revolves around one-time house sales bundled with a comprehensive service ecosystem: architectural planning, foundation slab, a Bosch kitchen package with five-year warranty, integrated financing via the Zuhause-Darlehen (up to €250,000 at 0.5% below market rate), KfW subsidy facilitation (up to €150,000 at 1.1% effective annual interest), land brokerage (Grundstücksservice), a DIY finishing coaching program, an €21,900 Zuhause-Bonus at handover, and a full insurance package. It distributes through a hybrid motion combining a nationwide network of IHK-certified independent Hausberater regional field consultants, the first-in-DACH Zoom Contact Center for on-demand video consultation, a network of physical model homes, and self-service digital tools including the Hauskonfigurator, Zuhause-Guide (a Tinder-style home finder), and the Bau-Cockpit construction-management app.

Living Haus targets primarily young German families transitioning from renting to homeownership, particularly those priced out of metropolitan markets and willing to perform interior finishing work (Ausbauhaus concept) to reduce costs; secondary segments include property investors and families relocating from urban centers. Operations are confined to Germany. The company is a privately-held GmbH with no disclosed external funding rounds and has maintained five consecutive years of CrefoZert creditworthiness certification (2021-2025). Recognitions include German Brand Awards in 2021, 2024, and 2025, German Design Awards 2025, and F.A.Z.-Institut's Champion in der Kundenbetreuung 2025.
