Many production sites have undergone several different modifications over the years. This results in a risk that the usage or building permit is void. Companies in this situation need to act and have their established buildings approved retrospectively. If they fail to do so, their operating license also becomes void.  

But there are plenty of other reasons to modernize established buildings, including shorter product life cycles and changes in the product range. It is also worthwhile for manufacturing companies to take a holistic view of their production site and to plan sustainable refurbishment measures strategically.  

If you have residential real estate in your portfolio, you should make it fit for the future. This involves more than just making the minimum structural and technical investments. If you are intending to sell, a structural or design upgrade allows a higher sale price to be achieved. How does the building stock impact the environment? The ESG criteria and EU taxonomy impose a duty of transparency.  

Densification? Making vacant spaces usable? We develop holistic concepts for residential properties – turning ‘tired’ buildings into refurbished and repositioned buildings with a future.  

Many retail properties suffer from a renovation backlog. This is particularly critical in view of changing customer needs. The shopping experience is important for bricks-and-mortar retail properties. So shopping center operators urgently need a holistic future-oriented strategy. This strategy will be based on the vision of your destination, economic conditions and analysis of the environment. And we offer all these services from a single source! Are the upper levels of your retail property standing empty? Are you planning to repurpose them – for example as apartments, offices or as a hotel? We undertake a feasibility study for you, assessing the various options based on structural, economic and sustainability factors.

With real estate as their core business, property companies have a keen interest in avoiding renovation backlogs and outdated building services equipment. ESG reporting requirements make transparent to what extent property companies meet the criteria for environmentally and socially responsible corporate governance. Buildings with poor energy efficiency lead to high operating and utility costs. Tenants move out – and new ones are difficult to find. In the worst case, a neglected property threatens to become a stranded  asset – in other words, worthless. We support property companies in making their buildings and portfolios fit for the future.

The hospitality industry faces the challenging task of making its properties permanently sustainable for the future. Does the hotel concept have a future? What structural refurbishment measures are necessary to maintain its value and secure the return on investment in the long term? We support hotel owners, operators and investors in developing and implementing sustainable refurbishment strategies for their properties.  

Ever-changing requirements and processes – compounded by fluctuating demand: Companies in the chemicals and life science sectors must implement the necessary complex renovations and conversions in their existing production buildings and laboratories. And they do this with the facilities in full operation. We support our customers in these sectors with the implementation of their modernization, conversion and replacement projects on the basis of state-of-the-art safety standards.
