Holzbau Schmid GmbH

What Holzbau Schmid GmbH does

Holzbau Schmid GmbH is a privately held German carpentry (Zimmerei) firm founded in 2013 by Christian Schmid and headquartered at Jahnstraße 92 in Ravensburg, Baden-Württemberg. It operates as a traditional craft business with a team of approximately five, including the founder-owner, an experienced foreman (Polier) named Alfons Miele recruited from the acquired Zimmerei Necker, one skilled worker, and two construction assistants.

The company delivers a broad set of timber-construction services to private homeowners and property owners in the Ravensburg area, organized around seven service lines: Holzbau (roof structures, extensions, garden houses, pergolas), Innenausbau (drywall, ceilings, wood ceilings), Dachfenstereinbau (roof-window installation including VELUX products), Holzterrassen (wooden terraces and decks), Altbausanierung (old-building roof renovation and insulation), Carports, and a differentiated Betreute Eigenleistung (supervised self-help) offering that lets clients participate in their own projects. Core technology is traditional carpentry — framing, roof restructuring, interior finishing, and timber-structure assembly — with no proprietary software, digital platform, or automation components disclosed.

Commercially, Holzbau Schmid operates a direct-to-consumer, quote-based project-services model: customers reach out via phone, email, or website contact form, services are delivered on-site at the customer's property, and pricing is provided per project rather than via published tiers. Demand is generated through a website with project galleries and contact form, Google Maps local SEO, YouTube/Vimeo project videos, RSS news, AddThis social sharing, collective advertising in the Schwäbische Zeitung regional newspaper, and an authorized-installer partnership with VELUX Deutschland GmbH that provides seasonal co-branded Dachfenster-Austauschaktion campaigns offering rebates of up to €130 per window replacement. Revenue is one-time and project-based, and the company is independently operated with no institutional investors, parent company, or external capital.
