Project control: The key to a successful construction project

Project control encompasses the planning, management and monitoring of a project throughout its entire duration. Construction projects always involve risks – in terms of time, cost and quality. Every building is unique and requires individualized planning and skilled technical execution.

With the numerous stakeholders involved in a project, differing interests often come into play: owners, current and future users, building authorities, town planners, architects, structural engineers and building services engineers, fire safety experts, building acousticians, construction companies, fit-out contractors, utility companies, as well as banks, law firms and tax consultancy firms – and often many more besides.

Just like in an orchestra, everyone plays their instrument perfectly, yet even the finest performance by individual musicians does not guarantee the desired result. To ensure that the many individual contributions come together to form a harmonious whole, a conductor is needed – someone who, as a manager, coordinator or leader, steers the project in the right direction.

Lean, solution-oriented project control is in the interests of all parties involved. Only in this way can risks be transformed into opportunities.

In addition to project control, we are also delighted to take on the role of project lead, thereby offering you comprehensive project management – from the development to the successful implementation of your construction project.

Our range of services in project control:

Project control covers all key areas of a construction project:

• Organisation, information, coordination and documentation
• Qualities and quantities
• Costs and financing
• Timetables, capacity and logistics
• Contracts and insurance

We support you at every stage of the project in accordance with AHO Publication No. 9:

1. Project preparation
2. Planning
3. Preparation for execution
4. Execution
5. Project completion

At every stage, we are at your side with our comprehensive project management services and ensure that your project is implemented efficiently and tailored to its individual requirements.

Technical due diligence – What is the condition of a property?

We provide support right from the purchase phase of a new property through technical due diligence. Working closely with clients, lawyers and specialist experts, we analyse and assess technical risks as well as aspects relating to building law.

Depending on individual objectives, we also draw up bespoke concepts and cost estimates for refurbishment and new-build projects as part of feasibility studies. On request, we take ESG criteria into account at an early stage to ensure that sustainability requirements are met from a construction engineering perspective.

We are happy to coordinate the parties involved and offer a network of partners specialising in architecture, building services engineering (TGA), environment/pollutants (Environmental), fire safety, structural engineering and sustainability.

Take the opportunity to optimise your property transaction!

Banks want to know the exact details.

Financing your projects requires the monitoring and control of costs, deadlines and project progress.

Successful project monitoring is therefore an essential component of a project’s success, and we can support you in this. Financiers often require this task to be outsourced to third-party, independent service providers in order to prevent any potential conflicts of interest. ​

Our experience and our professional approach to dealing with financiers and their agents will take the pressure off you where applicable.

ESG – Sustainability in the Construction Sector

Sustainable practices are becoming increasingly important in the construction and property sectors too. As part of the projects we manage, we support you in purposefully integrating ESG criteria (environmental, social and governance) into your construction and property projects. We provide support for ESG assessments, CRREM pathway analyses and certification processes for new-build and existing properties, for example in accordance with BREEAM or DGNB standards.

Benefit from our expertise to ensure your projects are future-proof and sustainable.

During the construction phase, we oversee the implementation of the contracted works as part of our project supervision services in accordance with the HOAI. Our focus is on ensuring compliance with the design and planning permissions, as well as on ensuring quality, meeting deadlines and keeping costs under control. Working closely with all stakeholders – from contractors to public authorities – we maintain a collaborative approach to ensure the project’s success.
“From the sidelines”, we influence the technical outcome as part of our quality assurance work.  In our consulting role, we technically evaluate the design and execution and provide guidance and recommendations where necessary. Responsibility for implementation remains with the building owner or their appointed representatives.
