The plan covers everything from roofs and facades to ventilation, common areas and indoor climate. It is partly funded by **the Danish National Building Fund**, the national housing fund for social housing. ## Why does it matter to you? If you live in Danish social housing, the comprehensive renovation plan determines when and how your building will be renovated. The plan is approved by the Danish National Building Fund and the municipality, and residents have influence through tenant meetings. If you're a consultant, investor or municipality, comprehensive renovation plans offer insight into the renovation pipeline for the social housing sector — and opportunities to offer specialist advice. ## How the process works 1. **Condition survey:** The housing association maps the buildings' current state 2. **Renovation proposal:** A consultant (architect/engineer) prepares the comprehensive plan 3. **Approval:** the Danish National Building Fund evaluates and approves funding 4. **Resident vote:** The tenant meeting votes on the renovation programme 5. **Procurement and construction:** The project is tendered and executed A comprehensive renovation plan can range from DKK 10 million to over DKK 500 million depending on estate size and renovation scope. ## Frequently asked questions ### Who pays for a comprehensive renovation plan?
