General contractor · Dortmund & Ruhr area

Full renovation and insulation in the Ruhr area – turnkey

One contact, one quote, one team: we plan and renovate your home with our own architects, our own engineers and our own tradespeople.

  • Our own specialists in every core trade
  • Two architects and two engineers in-house
  • Our own master roofer
  • Founder with building experience since 2010

Everything from one source

Good building starts with a team that knows each other.

At Corpus Bau you won’t find a changing cast of subcontractors – just our own people. Roofers with our own master roofer, insulation, ventilation, electrical, plumbing, tilers and floor layers, scaffolding and our own materials purchasing. On top of that, two engineers and two architects who are involved in the planning from the very first site survey. So responsibility stays in one pair of hands: one contact, one schedule, one result.

Trades

Everything under one roof

At Corpus Bau, the key trades of a renovation are our own employees. That means short lines of communication, clear responsibility and a construction process that we control ourselves.

Planning

Planning, structural design and construction under one roof

In a renovation, everything is connected: a new floor plan affects the structure, insulation affects the roof junctions, new bathrooms affect the pipework. With us, architects, engineers and site management work in the same company. Questions that come up between the drawing board and the building site are settled internally and directly. You get a design that is matched to the construction from day one – and construction that sticks to the design.

Process

How your project works

  1. Advice and site survey

    We visit your property, take measurements, check its condition and discuss your goals.

  2. Written quote

    You receive a transparent written quote covering all services, broken down by trade, together with a construction schedule.

  3. Site management

    Our site management coordinates all trades according to the construction schedule and keeps you regularly informed about progress in “My Project”.

  4. Handover

    Finally, we walk through the property together and hand it over to you turnkey.

Frequently asked questions

My Project

My Project: your construction progress, always in view

For every project we set up a dedicated, protected project page. There you can see at any time where your renovation stands:

  • Construction schedule with all phases and dates
  • Regular reports from site management
  • Dated photos straight from your building site
  • Progress bar showing how many construction phases are complete

You don’t need to be on site to stay informed – whether you live nearby, let the property or have inherited the house and live further away.

Funding

Funding for your renovation

The German state subsidises insulation and energy-efficient renovation. We’ll work out together which route suits your house when we visit.

Whether funding is granted, and how much, depends on the individual case.

  • BAFA grant for the building envelope:15 % on insulating the roof, facade and floor ceilings, and on new windows and doors.1
  • iSFP bonus:With an individual renovation roadmap (iSFP), eligible costs rise to up to €60,000 for the first residential unit, plus a 5 % bonus on the part above €30,000.1
  • KfW loan for a complete renovation:For a full renovation to “Efficiency House” standard, funding for the whole house may make more sense. It cannot be combined with the BAFA grant.2
  • Tax bonus under § 35c EStG:As an alternative to the grant, 20 % of the costs spread over three years, up to €40,000, for owner-occupied houses older than ten years.3 You receive the certificate you need through us.

I have been delivering building projects since 2010. With Corpus Bau I have built a team in which planning and craftsmanship work under one roof. That way, responsibility stays with us instead of being passed back and forth between companies.

On your project, I’m available to you from the first appointment to handover.

About us

Built by people who stay.

Ümit Ünsal has been working on building sites since 2010. In those 16 years he has seen what usually makes building projects fail: not the materials, but the handovers. One trade waits for another, nobody feels responsible, and in the end the client is left looking for the fault among five different companies.

That is why he chose a different path with Corpus Bau. The trades are permanently employed and work hand in hand – from roofing and insulation to ventilation, electrical and plumbing, through to tiling, flooring and scaffolding. Two engineers and two architects are involved in the planning, and materials purchasing is handled in-house.

Corpus Bau is a young business of Corpus Callosum Dienstleistungsgesellschaft mbH from Dortmund. The experience behind it is not. We deliver full renovations and insulation turnkey – and tell you honestly beforehand what is possible and what isn’t.

Your contacts are Ümit Ünsal and Burak Sar. You can reach both of them directly – no call centre, no detours.
