Abstract
House research is an interdisciplinary research method that examines the history of one or more houses in all aspects. This includes construction history as well as the history of owners and occupants. This contribution explains the areas of application of housing research: research of individual properties by owners and architects in relation to the application for building permits; research by government departments in relation to the granting of environmental permits; housing research by associations and commercial companies in relation to management and subsidies; building block research in relation to archaeology. In addition, tips are given on how house surveys can be used within socio-cultural and heritage projects. Finally, building history and housing research are explained in an academic context: building history; historical housing research and microhistory; construction history.
