Construction Management

We act as the client’s representative, undertaking construction management of complex new construction and conversion projects. Innovative tools and agile methods help us ensure flexible control of construction sites.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT – INTEGRATED SERVICES FOR ALL PHASES OF A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

Thanks to our extensive experience, we have broad know-how across all cost groups in our traditional area of core competency, namely service phases (SPs) 6 – 9 of the German Schedule of Services and Fees for Architects and Engineers (HOAI). Our expertise covers modernization and new construction projects including housing, office and administrative buildings, retail buildings, clinics and life sciences facililities, and complex special-purpose buildings of all sizes.

We represent the client before, during and after the construction phase and use Integrated Construction Management and Lean Site Management to consolidate our services in construction work (cost group 300), building services equipment (cost group 400) and outdoor facilities (cost group 500). We identify what needs to be done at an early stage across all service phases and take swift, solution-oriented action that is based on digital technology and always transparent.

3D scanners on the construction site

Are a key step towards digitization that save both time and money. 3D scanning technology allows digital capture of the current status of the building shell. Any deviations between BIM planning and the as-built scans can then be detected and corrected at an early stage

Safety, structure and quality throughout the entire process

Thanks to our holistic approach to construction management, you benefit from added value in a number of areas:

Schedule certainty and structured implementation with LCM: LCM Digital transparently safeguards the entire construction process and enables early detection and rectification of faults. This ensures end-to-end schedule stability.
Cost certainty: Our integrated project controlling team keeps a close eye on costs and identifies potential savings at an early stage. Project opportunities and risks are quickly detected, allowing us to make them transparent and actionable for our customers.
Seamless planning and construction processes: We adopt an integrated and holistic approach across the entire construction process to ensure that all planning and construction processes run smoothly – thereby delivering maximum efficiency. Quality management: Quality management plans are introduced at the beginning of the project to prevent defects.
Everything from a single source: Our interdisciplinary team offers all competencies in-house, delivering a comprehensive range of services from a single source.

Integral Construction Management

Ideally, the expertise of the specialist planners involved in structural design and building services equipment (BSE) should be combined to ensure that a construction site operates smoothly and the project remains cost-efficient. And that’s exactly what Integrated Construction Management achieves. Baumanagement.

Tendering and contract award

The Drees & Sommer Expert Team ensures a smooth invitation to tender and contract award process. We scrutinize plans for potential savings and possible technical optimization. We prepare and analyze invitations to tender, review and evaluate bids, and assist with the contract award process. The preparation of BIM invitations to tender based on 5D models is now common practice.

SITE SUPERVISION

Site supervision is the core competency of HOAI service phase 8. Our Drees & Sommer construction management experts have expertise in all relevant cost groups – from building construction (cost group 300) to building services equipment (cost group 400) and outdoor facilities (cost group 500).

CONSTRUCTION LOGISTICS

Construction logistics makes a key contribution to the smooth running of construction sites, which may have complex and differing infrastructure and local conditions due to their location in inner cities, factory sites and even tourist areas. Also, the wide range of requirements and different approaches encountered can sometimes make extreme demands on logistics.
