Our experts use tried and tested innovative methods – such as lean management, modularization and digital technology (e.g. BIM) – in order to reduce complexity, minimize interfaces and simplify coordination. Our approach thus enables your construction and real estate projects to be implemented efficiently and cost-effectively.
The challenges facing many real estate, infrastructure and industrial companies are enormous. In addition to industry-wide issues such as the shortage of skilled workers, they include inadequate planning and a lack of coordination, along with errors in the tendering process for projects.
This is precisely where EPCM comes in, minimizes interfaces and maximizes transparency for the sake of simplifying the coordination of complex projects:
Using the EPCM model, Drees & Sommer’s experts provide all planning, consulting and management services from a single source. Benefit: the client has only one contractual partner in addition to the companies involved in the execution of the construction project. This reduces complexity, risks and the internal workload and costs of the project considerably.
By modularizing a building design, we significantly reduce its complexity in the planning and construction process and enhance the quality of the planning and execution processes. This cuts costs and saves time and resources, without compromising individual ideas and the flexibility of the property.
By using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital planning we ensure consistent and coordinated planning quality, a basic requirement for any successful construction project. Other key aspects of the BIM method are the transparency of the planning process with the involvement of the client, and increased mutual understanding within the project team. Transfer points to contractors without any breaks in the data, and their involvement at an early stage ensure closer integration of the planning and construction process, making it much leaner overall.
Lean is a basic approach that aims to avoid waste while also maximizing transparency and learning. In this method, we start from the objective when thinking about processes and thus significantly increase the speed of the entire workflow. We apply the lean concept throughout our projects. This includes in particular the management and integration of all key stakeholders and the entire scheduling during the planning and construction process.
