Areas of application
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.
Technical and Economic Construction Consultancy (TECC) involves providing advice throughout the entire planning and construction process. You monitor specialist planners, carry out costings and integrated economic feasibility studies, and participate in the building acceptance process. With these measures, you make a significant contribution to the optimization of the buildings and to quality assurance. Your professional competence creates added value both for customers and for those involved in planning and construction. Social and methodological competence ensure clarity, trust, motivation and quality for all parties involved.
