BLUE BUILDINGS

The development of new technologies is accelerating work processes and changing work practices. To make your company innovative, productive and cost-efficient, processes have to be optimized before you think about a building or remodeling.

Before the planning phase starts, the project execution must be clearly defined. Project goals and performance specifications ensure a common thrust in accordance with the client. These are backed by an execution strategy and the project organization.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) optimises the conventional planning process. This method allows innovations that were simply not possible before. The result is production- and quality-orientated planning as the basis for cost-effective, largely defect-free and more efficient construction.

Ineffective processes delay the construction process. The result: deadlines collapse, costs get out of hand and quality targets are missed. But not with lean construction. Coordinated planning, logistics and construction processes enable construction with a predictable results.

Although building operation is the longest phase in the life cycle, it is often considered too little or detached from planning and execution. The consequences are fatal: the building costs too much to operate or does not function as intended. Operation becomes economical if you decide on modular and standardised construction. This includes a sustainable product quality that is integrated into the material cycle.

As a building ages, the owner is faced with a number of questions: What can and must I do to retain or attract tenants, achieve an appropriate rent or increase productivity and attractiveness as an owner-occupier? If the building has been constructed according to the criteria outlined above, such questions can be answered much more easily and cost-effectively - even in the case of deconstruction.
