Building in existing structures – expertise that makes the difference

Building in existing structures is characterized by uncertainties. Reliable documentation of the existing structure is often lacking, and unexpected findings regarding the building fabric – such as pollutants, hidden damage, or changes to the load-bearing structure due to previous uses – are part of everyday project work.
Especially in the early planning phases (LP 2–3), sound expertise is crucial. Targeted site surveys allow for the early identification and evaluation of unknown parameters. This creates a reliable basis for sound decisions, realistic concepts, and a successful project outcome.
Your added value:
  • Thorough inventory analyses provide a secure basis for planning and decision-making.

  • Early identification of risks and unknown parameters in the inventory

  • Closing knowledge gaps and relieving capacity bottlenecks

  • Support especially in service phases 2–3

  • Contribution to an efficient, high-quality and economical implementation

I provide targeted support to engineering firms where experience and expertise in building renovation are crucial – for safe, efficient and successful projects.
