Real Estate Consulting

Sustainability is no longer a new trend as it has reached all industries and sectors, including the real estate industry. In particular the real estate sector is nowadays a significant driver of CO² emissions and thus a major lever to achieve the goals set by the federal government. 

To overcome these challenges, we support our customers to create transparency in this complex structure and give tailored advice – including the definition and implementation of regulatory requirements.

Further, we focus on the development of a sustainable strategy within different levels such as company, product or assets. As baseline we set up the regulatory requirements such as taxonomy and disclosure regulation and relevant national and international guidelines to achieve a successful implementation. During the whole process we support our clients with tailored processes in order to have an efficient operationalization phase.

The PwC tool “Green Real Estate Reporting” offers exclusively for our clients full transparency on the most important sustainability indicators during operations. With these insights, decisions for investments, and optimization processes can be met even more precisely.

In the area of Digital Real Estate, our consulting services are holistic and encompass the entire life cycle of real estate, which includes the following consulting services:

• Assessment of the digital status quo as well as the possibilities for the use of new technologies (“Digital Use Cases”)
  
• Selecting, implementing and consulting on real estate ERP systems
• Consulting and selection for the implementation of complementary applications, including portfolio and asset management as well as risk, compliance, and valuation tools
  
• Screening and selection of complementary PropTech and ConTech solutions to meet individual customer requirements
  
• Front-to-end data collection for customized data use in a digital ecosystem

Study: More Home, Less Office

Clients, who are regulated according to AIFMD, KAGB, KWG or other regulations are supported by PwC regarding the complex implementation of national and international requirements. As a highlighted feature, we can support you as one firm with our X-Los teams regarding every topic, which includes:

• Advice, support, and assistance in licensing procedures (obtaining, extending or returning licenses) 
• Support in special regulatory audits 
• Consulting on analysis, design, and implementation of solutions in connection with new regulatory requirements

The demands on risk management of capital management companies have been significantly increased due to the introduction of the AIFMD, the KAGB as well as the accompanying regulations in KaMaRisk and other national requirements. Since then, we have been supporting our clients and offering solutions for:

• Development and optimization of risk strategy
• Analysis and optimization of existing risk management system 
• Implementation of new risk management and compliance structures e.g., according to IDW PS980 and IDW PS981
• Support with certifications (e.g., ICG) 
• Support with special audits and insourcing of internal audit services

Our world is becoming increasingly complex and, especially in large transformation projects, a great number of service providers are involved to achieve the best possible results. 

The coordination of the different work areas and sub-projects as well as the neutral view on the interdependencies is often not compatible with the daily business of our customers. With our experience, especially in the field of implementation and construction supervision, we act as a connector to manage your project in such a way that risks are limited, opportunities are exploited and project goals are achieved qualitatively, on time and within the budget.
