We offer comprehensive consulting services from a single source, services designed to improve the sustainability performance of our clients and their construction projects. Our consulting services include the certification of new builds and existing edifices, concrete technology, maintenance, and optimization of structures. It is always our aim to support our clients on the path towards the utmost sustainability and implementing the most cost-effective and efficient engineering solution for them.
Optimization of structural designs
- Selecting the ideal construction material
- Innovative construction methods
- Designing a direct vertical load transfer
- Minimizing masses and component dimensions
GHG reduction strategies
We know which adjustments we need to make in order to reduce our clients’ carbon emissions over the entire life cycle of a project.
Advice on preserving existing buildings
- Structural assessment
- Building inspection
- Building diagnostics
- Monitoring
- Maintenance and repair
Wood for load-bearing structures
- Timber structures
- Timber hybrid construction
- Connecting compatible structures
- Specialist timber construction engineers and carpenters in-house
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Balancing the quantities of all building materials and components to assess the environmental impact of the building.
Reduce, reuse, recycle
We apply the three Rs to reduce quantities and to reuse or recycle building materials, components, and system components.
Concrete for load-bearing structures
- Concrete engineers / concrete technologists
- Environmentally friendly mixes
- CO2-reduced concrete
- Recycled concrete
- Regional availability
- Carbon concrete
Life Cycle Costs (LCC)
Calculating the costs for operation, maintenance, repair, modernization, and demolition of a building.
Building certification
- Pre-check and audit for DGNB certification
- QNG sustainable building certification
- DGNB consultant and DGNB auditor in-house
In our work for our clients, we focus on sustainable planning and implementation in every project: for example, using wood and timber hybrid construction, creative solutions for support during construction, recycled building materials, the optimal choice of binder for concrete, and load-bearing structures that are appropriate for the building materials and stresses. And, before any new construction, we check at an early stage whether maintenance and repair would not be the better, more sustainable option. What do our clients get from this? The optimal balance of economy, ecology, and social responsibility.
