Beyond the bureaucratic assistance some German cities provide to groups creating ''baugruppen'', the concept also has the support of the government in the form of lower tax rates paid by ''baugruppen'' versus developers, as well as preferential pricing for ''baugruppen'' buying government-owned land.
== Advantages ==
*Encourages density and is a useful solution in cities in which buildable land is at a premium
*Provides cost-savings (in Germany) beyond any tax breaks as ''baugruppen'' are allowed to select small and oddly-shaped land parcels that would be out of bounds or undesirable for developers. Members may also choose more economical, smaller unit footprints than might be profitable or attractive to developers. The formula for development in Germany also cuts out middlemen such as realtors, further saving money.
*Since it is collectively funded, the ''baugruppe'' allows for a relatively low cost of entry and a quick conversion to homeownership
*Is a collective solution that also affords for individual home ownership
*Allows for living space customized to residents
*As with other forms of co-housing, ''baugruppen'' encourage personal investment in housing
