Challenge: Highinflation, rising material and labor costs, as well as strict regulations on credit lending make the implementation of new construction and renovation projects more difficult.
– Cost-efficient construction
even in turbulent times
For affordable, high-quality, and sustainable construction, the key lies in well-thought-out planning, targeted prefabrication, and needs-based decisions.
/// 1. Prefabrication: Efficiency through innovative processes
In the modern construction industry, prefabrication is becoming increasingly important. Through the use of machines, complex and cost-intensive work is carried out directly in production halls. Wall and ceiling components are created under controlled conditions, independent of weather and seasons. This offers significant advantages:
– Cost reduction through reduced working time: Pre-produced components minimize on-site work time
– Optimized production conditions: Manufacturing under constant conditions leads to precise and high-quality results
– Time efficiency: Components produced around the clock significantly accelerate construction progress.
Thanks to modern 3D planning, these processes can be seamlessly integrated into construction preparation. Digital building models not only enable precise visualization but also comprehensive optimization. Intelligent building models analyze and help in calculating components. This software-supported optimization leads to efficient use of materials and thus significantly reduces costs.
/// 2. Needs-based construction: Optimal use of materials and resources
A central measure for cost reduction is the needs-based optimization of material and labor resources.
– Space optimization: Compact and clever construction methods save materials and labor costs. For example, adjusted room heights reduce material requirements and minimize work effort.
– Strategic planning: Developing a precise 3D model helps identify potentials early and avoid possible errors. These models can be simplified and specifically optimized if needed to reduce complexity and find more economical solutions.
– Simple details: Standardized, proven solutions are more economical, durable, and reduce work effort.
/// 3. High-quality materials as a long-term investment
High-quality building materials, especially for load-bearing elements, represent a long-term investment. Even if the initial costs appear higher, these materials are often more robust and durable. In the long run, they lead to:
– Less repair effort and lower maintenance costs
– Higher value stability of the property
– Lower costs per year of use
Excursus: Utilizing existing buildings as an opportunity
The use of existing structures can be an economical alternative to new construction. With the help of modern technologies such as digital laser scans, existing buildings can be precisely and inexpensively captured. This data allows for creating a digital twin of the building. Based on this, planners can efficiently design and virtually represent renovations or extensions.
/// 4. Targeted planning: Security for budget and timeframe
Well-founded and detailed planning requires time and care at the beginning of a project, especially when creating a precise 3D building model. But this initial extra effort pays off: It reduces effort in later phases and makes the entire construction project more efficient overall. This leads to ancillary services remaining comparatively inexpensive and construction times being significantly shortened.
Through exact planning, construction companies can calculate fixed prices, which gives builders maximum cost security and avoids renegotiations or unexpected additional costs.
Banks also assess purposefully planned and well-prepared projects as less risky, which often leads to more favorable financing conditions.
/// 5. Time planning as a cost factor
A clear temporal structuring of the construction project can enable considerable savings. Seasonal fluctuations in construction prices can be exploited if projects are deliberately implemented outside of peak economic phases. This enables savings of up to 4% of total costs.
Meeting deadlines is a crucial factor: delays lead to additional costs through rent payments, interest rate increases, or value adjustments. Moreover, the commissioning is postponed, resulting in income losses due to later rentals or sales.
Conclusion: Success through structure and experience
A construction project is a significant investment that requires a professional approach. As with buying a car, it should be clear what you want before the implementation begins, even for a construction project. No one would choose the equipment retrospectively during production at the factory.
The investment in experienced specialist companies and well-founded planning services pays off multiple times. With the right modeling, intelligent software, and well-thought-out strategies, you save time and costs. Additionally, you minimize risks and ensure that your construction project brings the desired success.
