Digitization is proceeding apace in both the professional and private spheres. New Work, process optimization, business transformation, ESG and the War for Talent are all of concern for companies generally. How can these issues be addressed in buildings – whether new or established properties? As a Customized Smart Building consultant, you develop sustainable, smart buildings for users, service providers and operators. Together with the customer, you establish the requirements for smart, buildings, taking stakeholders, use cases and business models into account. The technical specifications for the smart infrastructure are then based on this. As the first point of contact, you define for the architects and planners what the building must be able to do. You ensure that the building will be ‘digital ready’ – and support the project all the way through to commissioning.

The world’s climate protection goals have been clearly formulated. To meet them, principals, owners and operators must realize energy- and resource-efficient buildings and districts, and make use of renewable energy. Our role as consultants is to support clients from the concept and design stages through to implementation and operation of buildings and urban districts. We develop cost-efficient tailor-made solutions – for new and established buildings as well as for entire portfolios. We work in interdisciplinary teams across all trades, combining expertise from sustainable construction and energy and building systems engineering with current topics such as Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) aspects, Cradle to Cradle® (C2C), and Green Building. Our holistic strategies and concepts help local authorities, companies, portfolio owners principals and owners get their properties fit for the future. In this way, we create sustainable solutions that will benefit the next generation.

Megatrends such as digitization, artificial intelligence and neo-ecology make huge demands on companies. How they deal with new challenges in this environment of disruptive change is crucial to their success. The COVID-19 pandemic acted as an accelerant on expectations for the future of the work environment. As New Work consultants, our role is to develop and implement solutions that are customized, cost-efficient and successful in the long term – and closely aligned with the customer’s core process. We do this by combining years of practical experience with the latest research findings. Our change and transformation processes leverage the expertise of all stakeholders at all levels of the company. We think and act systemically, ensure that interactions are transparent, and point out synergy potential. We see the big picture, but always focus on the next step. We take an interactive, co-creative approach that leaves scope for innovative ideas.
