Building

The planning and building process in Germany is complex and susceptible to faults due to its many interfaces. The pressure of competition and difficult conditions in the industry make it difficult to achieve long-term targets and a stronger orientation towards the life-cycle of a building. The BBSR investigates how current and future planning and building tasks can be optimised and especially how aspects of quality can be prioritised.
