Bauelemente

What Bauelemente does

Bauelemente, operating as SBE-KS GmbH, is a Berlin-based building materials retailer and installer specializing in windows, entrance doors, roller shutters, sun protection systems, and insect protection products. The company sells custom-manufactured products in wood (Typ 68, 78, 92), PVC (Ideal 4000/5000/8000, Salamander 76, EkoLine), aluminum (MB series), and wood-aluminum composite configurations, with installation carried out to RAL certification standards. Service offerings span Beratung (consultation), Aufmaß (on-site laser measurement), Lieferung (delivery), Montage (installation), and recurring Wartung und Reparaturen (maintenance and repair). The custom build-to-measure model is central to operations: every order is sized to the customer's specific opening, distinguishing the business from off-the-shelf retail competitors.

The company's go-to-market is a direct sales-led model targeting residential homeowners in the Berlin metropolitan area as the primary segment, with construction companies and builders as a secondary segment. Customer acquisition is driven by the company website (bauelemente-berlin.de), telephone-based inquiry handling, and in-person consultation either at the Bölschestraße 129 headquarters or on the customer's premises. The firm supplements this direct channel with referral partnerships — notably CK-Immobilien (real estate brokerage) and HAMKON (property management) — and a Neher integration for insect protection products. There is no digital marketing, social media presence, or e-commerce transaction layer documented; all sales are custom-quoted following measurement.

Commercially, SBE-KS GmbH is a privately held, founder/family-owned limited liability company (VAT ID DE 297007917) with 41 employees and no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional ownership. Florian Knorr is the named content-responsible person under German TMG law and the listed data protection contact. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the business operates exclusively within Germany, with no subsidiaries, no parent company, no funding rounds, and no mergers, acquisitions, or leadership changes recorded in the source material. The operating model is therefore a stable, single-location specialty retailer with a service-led, local-market focus.

Expansion highlights2 records

Direct peers

• fensterversand.com: Germany-wide online retailer of windows and doors in PVC, wood, and aluminum with home delivery. Directly competes with Bauelemente on the same product categories and price-driven Berlin residential customers, but with no on-site measurement or installation service.
• Neher Insektenschutz: Manufacturer and supplier of insect protection systems whose product line Bauelemente explicitly carries and links to. Functions as both supplier and indirect competitor if customers purchase directly.
• Garant Fenster und Türen: German specialist window and door dealer with showrooms and a configurator-based sales model, offering PVC, wood, and aluminum products with installation services. Closely comparable mid-sized German competitor with the same installation-led, multi-material approach.

Broad incumbents

• OBI: Major German home improvement retailer with Berlin locations offering building components including windows, doors, and shutters. Overlaps with Bauelemente on product categories but operates as a self-service DIY model rather than full-service installation specialist.
• Hornbach: German home improvement and building materials retailer serving trade and DIY customers, with Berlin-area stores. Competes on range and trade pricing rather than on bespoke residential installation service.
• WAREMA: Leading German manufacturer of sun protection systems (awnings, external venetian blinds, roller shutters) supplying dealers and installers like Bauelemente. Competes indirectly through its own dealer network and direct project business.
• BAUHAUS: Germany's largest DIY and home improvement chain, with multiple Berlin-area stores selling windows, doors, roller shutters, and sun protection. Competes broadly on assortment and convenience but lacks Bauelemente's bespoke measurement and certified installation model.

Emerging players

• VELUX: Specialist in roof windows and matching external/internal shading and insect screens. Overlaps with Bauelemente on the Dachflächenfenster (roof window) and Plissee lines, though focused specifically on roof applications rather than full façade.
• Markisen-Markt: Germany-focused awning and sun protection specialist retailer with online configurator and installation services. Comparable on the Sonnenschutz/Markisen segment but narrower scope than Bauelemente's full envelope offering.
• Renovieren.de / Aroundhome: Lead-generation and matching platforms that route Berlin-area renovation requests (windows, doors, sun protection) to competing installers. Functions as a digital alternative acquisition channel that could divert demand from Bauelemente's direct sales motion.
