As a team Successful
Entrepreneurship has to be exemplified. This requires courage, dynamism, energy and creativity. As an owner-managed company, we promote these values by trusting in our employees. Each construction project is unique. In order to complete it to the satisfaction of our customers, employees need as much entrepreneurial freedom as possible.
We are all united in our goal of becoming the No. 1 provider of tenant-specific interior renovation for Germany's institutional real estate owners. This generates growth and constantly produces new development opportunities in a dynamic business environment.
Real estate owners and project developers want to keep construction costs for new leases calculable. Since 2007, we have been a kind of "outsourcing partner for construction risk" for our customers. Since then, we have been consistently advancing our performance promise. As a "Design & Build" partner, we are often the point of contact for all technical planning issues during the preparation phase of a lease. Speed is a competitive edge. If a rental agreement is concluded, we participate in the success of our customers.
The success of our company is based on the trust of our customers. In 2007 we started with four realized projects. We now process around 1,400 projects a year, of which we realize more than 400 in terms of construction. For the year 2019 we expect sales of more than 220 million euros. We want to inspire our customers. In the rare case that this doesn't work out, we are often met with forbearance, because of the passion with which we do our work.
Employees are the central success factor of any company. We are fortunate to have never ended up with the second best candidate for the job since founding the company. Today, we have roughly 400 highly specialized employees who have plenty of freedom to explore ideas. We were able to convince most of them of our corporate vision. Many of them have been on this exciting journey with us for many years now.
