The construction industry is facing profound change: rising cost pressure, a shortage of skilled workers, volatile supply chains, growing sustainability requirements, and increasing complexity in planning, construction, and operation. At the same time, digitalization, industrialization, and new cooperation models are opening up enormous potential.
UNITY supports companies in the construction industry in systematically overcoming these challenges – from strategic realignment and industrial transformation to operational implementation. Our approach combines consulting, engineering, and implementation along the entire value chain: from planning and construction to operation and demolition.
Whether you are a general contractor, system provider, planner, or industrial prefabricator, the demands placed on companies in the construction industry are changing fundamentally. Many companies still work with fragmented processes, media breaks, and isolated applications. This is exactly where we come in.
UNITY pursues an end-to-end approach that consistently brings together strategy, processes, IT, and organization. We don't think of construction as an individual project, but as a scalable, industrial system.
Our consulting is based on four integrated service levels:
The digitalization of the construction industry must be thought through consistently and implemented pragmatically. UNITY supports companies in the construction industry in digitally connecting planning, construction, and operation and making data usable throughout the entire life cycle. The focus is on BIM, digital twins, and integrated IT architectures that bring together project management, production, and operations. This results in transparent, controllable construction processes, less friction, and a reliable basis for efficient projects and scalable business models.
Productivity and quality are key factors in competitiveness in the construction industry today. UNITY helps companies in the construction industry to measurably improve processes on the construction site, in prefabrication, and in organization. We optimize processes, material flows, and supply chains, increase the predictability of projects, and strengthen the performance of production and location networks. The goals are shorter throughput times, more stable deadlines, lower costs, and consistently high execution quality.
Serial, modular, and industrial construction is a key lever for controlling costs, quality, and speed. UNITY supports companies in the construction industry in developing modular product and platform concepts and in designing efficient production and assembly processes. The close integration of planning, prefabrication, and construction results in scalable solutions that enable a wide range of variants while remaining economically manageable.
Sustainability has long been an economic success factor in the construction industry. UNITY supports companies in systematically integrating sustainability into products, processes, and projects. The focus is on resource-saving construction methods, energy-efficient buildings, and transparent CO₂ and ESG indicators. This makes sustainability plannable, controllable, and compatible with economic efficiency—from planning to operation.
“The task was to integrate seven very different workshops into an overall concept. Thanks to a clear methodology, in-depth expertise and the involvement of all stakeholders, a concept was developed in just three months that was accepted by all parties and enabled the growth targets to be achieved while also improving profitability.”
