Service 05 · Technical & ESG

Maintenance is
underestimated value creation.

We steer technical operations, maintenance, energy and ESG-compliant management of your property. With service standards that are measurable — and with optimizations that show up in the valuation.

What it is about

What is not repaired becomes expensive.

Technical property management is the discipline that runs in the background — and prevents problems in the foreground. Cut corners here and you pay three times later: in repair costs, in tenant dissatisfaction and in the valuation.

We therefore think of technical operations not as a cost centre but as a value lever. Modern ventilation lowers operating costs and makes the property more attractive to ESG-conscious investors. Smart maintenance planning extends the life of technical equipment by years. Professional energy management saves money that would otherwise go up the chimney.

What matters to us: technical optimization is not an end in itself. It pays into Net Operating Income. It pays into ESG metrics. And ultimately it pays into investor attractiveness.

What we deliver in concrete terms

Seven tasks. One bracket: measurable operations.

Wir steuern und optimieren — aber wir machen nicht alles selbst. Wir wissen, mit welchen Dienstleistern wir gute Ergebnisse erzielen.

01

Maintenance & upkeep with a plan

We develop multi-year maintenance plans for all technical systems — from ventilation through elevators to fire alarm systems. Preventive maintenance instead of expensive repairs.

02

Energy management that saves money

We analyze consumption, identify savings potential and implement measures — from LED retrofits to ventilation control optimization. Every kilowatt-hour saved is a euro added to NOI.

03

ESG-compliant operations

CRREM pathway, GRESB reporting, EU taxonomy: we know the requirements of institutional investors and put your property on the right track. With measures that work today — and reporting that holds up in the investment committee.

04

External service-provider steering

Cleaning, security, caretaker services, landscaping, technical maintenance: we tender, award, steer and control. With clear SLAs and penalty schedules that secure quality rather than merely hope for it.

05

Fire safety, security, compliance

Fire safety concepts, security inspections, regulatory requirements: we keep everything current and document without gaps. So that in case of damage it is clear that everything was done — and before, that nothing will go wrong.

06

Defect management — fast and traceable

Every defect is logged, categorized, assigned to an owner and tracked through to closure. Tenants see that something is happening. Owners see that nothing falls through the cracks.

07

Reporting investors understand

Monthly reports on consumption, maintenance, defects, capex. Prepared for owners and asset managers — not for caretakers.

"An elevator that doesn't run doesn't cost a repair. It costs tenants."

Why CM

Drei Prinzipien, die unser Technisches Management auszeichnen.

Engineering thinking, not administration

We think in systems, life cycles and efficiency ratios — not in file folders. That makes the difference between technical property management and pure facility management.

ESG ahead of reporting pressure

We work on the ESG performance of your property before the next GRESB reporting is due. Those who act only just before the deadline give away opportunities — and money.

Transparency instead of reassurance

We report honestly. Even when something goes wrong. Owners need truth, not reassuring reports. Only then can they steer.
