Holistic support for the construction and real estate value chain

Companies up and down the construction and real estate value chain are entrusted to design and build sound, functional structures, manage effective facilities operations, and properly dismantle decrepit buildings to promote a healthy, productive society. Faced with growing urbanization and smart city trends shifting to residential and community buildings as well as public infrastructure, industry demands for digitization, data protection, safe workplaces, skilled workers and sustainable strategies to meet strict environmental regulation add to mounting pressures. Coupled with low market-entry barriers driving brutal competition, volatility in the volume and pricing of commodities further strains companies with high-cost revenue ratios. DEKRA helps you to identify the main risks likely to impact your projects according to your major challenges in order to prevent or mitigate them.

When designing, building, or dismantling structures, companies must comply with increasingly rigid regulation focused on enhanced sustainability and environmental protection. Reliable experts can provide accurate assessment and recognized certifications in accordance with international quality management, cyber security and personnel training standards, as well as mandated health, safety and environmental regulations to strengthen efforts dedicated to the circular economy and green policies for more lucrative sustainable projects. Building on these fundamentals and tailored operational solutions supports improved performance and increased resilience for higher profitability.

Key to the construction and real estate industry overall, sound facility management strategies and systems preserve structural and functional integrity of diverse buildings and infrastructure on which societies and economies rely. Expert consulting, inspection, certification and training provide the solutions effective managers need to ensure efficient processes and secure digital information, hire and motivate qualified personnel, protect and communicate with occupants and workers, foster vendor relationships, and maintain sustainability obligations.

Confronted with a shortage of skilled labor, construction and real estate company leaders often rely on independent expertise to help recruit and train proficient permanent and temporary professional staff, so they can minimize time and money spent coordinating sub-contractors and tactically build the internal team they need to succeed. Specialized assessment and training according to recognized health, safety, environmental and sustainability guidelines as well as relevant certifications to qualify personnel and support safe working spaces ensure both competence and compliance.

DEKRA experts tailor service packages targeting the challenges specific to the construction and real estate industries while providing holistic support throughout the industry value chain. In addition to our Go Green services, we offer single-source, comprehensive customized package solutions for operational excellence, personnel training and efficient facility management supporting safety and sustainability strategies for a more prosperous future.
