Technical and commercial solutions for construction and real estate

Services for Project Developments and New Builds

Construction Controlling and Project Management, Risk Management

As part of our ongoing construction controlling and project management services, we offer a wide range of technical and commercial advisory services for project developments. These include comprehensive cost monitoring and control as well as programme planning and coordination to ensure that construction projects are completed within the intended budget and timeframe. We conduct regular progress analyses and prepare targeted reports for decision-makers, enabling transparency and informed decision-making. We also implement risk management strategies to identify and mitigate risks and to recognise and realise opportunities. Our advisory services help to increase the efficiency of construction projects, reduce cost overruns and minimise delays.

Costs, schedules, risks – real-time control

Our construction controlling and construction project management services enable efficient cost and schedule management of your construction project, sustainably improving its overall commercial and schedule performance. Through transparent reporting and targeted risk management, we identify opportunities and risks in a project at an early stage. Effective stakeholder management promotes smooth collaboration between project participants and assures the quality of your construction project.

Costs, Deadlines, Risks – Real-Time Controlling

Technical Due Diligence

As part of a Technical Due Diligence (TDD) for project developments, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of the underlying conditions and requirements of the construction project. Depending on the project's progress, at the outset we can assess feasibility and the assumed parameters relating to costs, schedules and quality/quantities. At a later stage of construction, we will also conduct an on-site inspection to identify any existing risks during the construction phase. In addition, we examine and assess relevant building- and approval-related documents.

Fact-based in-depth analysis – robust, deal-focused CapEx assessment

Technical Due Diligence offers significant added value, particularly in property transactions, by enabling a detailed assessment of the foundations of the project development and the risks in the subsequent planning and construction process. On the seller's side, this can provide transparency regarding potential project risks, or support buyers and investors in making informed decisions and identifying risks at an early stage. In addition to TDD, we provide technical advice in transaction processes and further due diligence services (including Financial, Tax and Legal). Our comprehensive advice from specialists across the PwC network covers all relevant technical, financial and tax aspects and enables a smooth transaction.

Fact-Based In-Depth Analysis—CapEx Determined Using a Robust, Deal-Focused Approach

Viability Assessments

As part of viability assessments for construction project developments, we analyse the project's financial potential. We prepare detailed cost-benefit analyses to assess profitability and support investment decisions. By examining different scenarios and their financial implications, we enable the best possible strategic direction. These analyses help to identify risks at an early stage and optimise commercial efficiency. Overall, they provide a sound basis for planning and implementation, helping to ensure the long-term success of the construction project.

Robust viability assessment – figures that support decisions

For construction project developments, the Construction Advisory Services team provides precise viability analyses backed by extensive experience and interdisciplinary collaboration. Our sound financial analyses form the basis for strategic decisions and provide transparency regarding the past, current and planned financial position and budget status of your construction project. We provide transparent reporting on the key financial metrics, facilitating informed management and adjustment of your project.

Reliably Determined Profitability—Figures That Support Decision-Making

Construction Audits, Project Reviews and Opportunity and Risk Analyses

The Construction Advisory Services team provides a comprehensive review of construction projects through construction audits, project reviews and opportunity and risk analyses. Our services include the systematic analysis of planning processes, contracts and project progress in terms of costs, schedules and quality in order to identify potential risks at an early stage. Through detailed reviews, we can develop recommendations for optimisation and corrective measures that sustainably improve project efficiency and quality while ensuring compliance within the projects. Opportunity and risk analyses help to exploit strategic opportunities while minimising the impact of potential risks. In this way, our interdisciplinary advisory approach can lead to greater transparency, a reduced risk of errors and improved success rates for your construction projects.

Identify risks before they become costs

The comprehensive identification and assessment of potential risks and optimisation opportunities enables decision-makers in project developments to take early action to ensure delivery on schedule, within budget and in compliance with requirements.

Identify risks before they become costs

Organisation and Process Consulting

As part of our organisation and process consulting services, we provide targeted support for the development of complex property projects and the business units responsible for them. We focus on designing structures and processes that meet the specific requirements of construction projects. We analyse existing processes, identify opportunities for optimisation and create clear, efficient workflows – from the early concept phase through to delivery. By establishing transparent communication channels and introducing digital tools, we improve coordination among all parties involved. We also support the development of robust project management and actively shape change processes to achieve lasting improvements and strengthen project development over the long term.
