BIM and digital planning
Building information modelling (BIM): designing complex systems in a clear way.
A building is only static in the conventional sense. However, in terms of its creation and life cycle, a building is a dynamic process, which starts with planning. Hence, all information about the building should ideally be constantly available during this cycle and the current status retrievable. Using the planning method “Building Information Modelling” (BIM), we create and manage all physical and functional characteristics of a digitalised model of the building, thus making it ‘accessible’ and intuitively discernible. The information on every trade is stored ‘on site’. From the initial preliminary planning of the building to its ultimate dismantling, the building model serves clients, planners, workmen and construction companies as a database and, later, for the adaptation to new guidelines or the optimisation of team structures and work processes.
Lean and agile project management
Network processes, create added value.
Creating added value without wasting professional, organisational and time resources: innovative life cycle engineering from M&P relies on intelligent Lean construction management. This refers to a project management method that avoids unnecessary expenditure and works systematically to improve results. This includes ongoing reduction of costs and work steps through networking and synergetic expertise assurance. The Lean method is the basis for all our project success.
Master planning
Minimising risks, raising added value.
There is no path without a goal. And no direction without seeing the big picture. To be able to conclude a building project on time and to the agreed standard and pre-defined budget, you first need a comprehensive overview in order to be able to develop a practice-based, holistic concept for the efficient implementation of conversion and refurbishment measures right up to the turnkey handover: the masterplan.
Within the scope of a feasibility study, we identify the key realisation aspects of a building measure: its cost-effective and technical feasibility, the availability of the necessary resources, the timeline and the legal foundations. To minimise or even completely eliminate risks, the M&P feasibility study contains a simulation and pilot test as well as specialist analysis and follow-up consultation if required.
Green-Building-Design
Energy management as a competitive advantage.
Using change to progress – that is one of M&P’s maxims. The energy transition places companies with major challenges. Our goal is to identify and tap into potential by providing competent and methodological consulting. At the same time, elevated requirements provide opportunities for sustainable optimisation, which ultimately leads to a positive outcome and can even secure a competitive edge. To achieve this, we combine innovative strength, technical competence and many years of specialist service expertise in energy consultation and contracting into green building design. Energy demands can be significantly minimised through increased functionality. To this end, M&P comes up with concepts, develops strategies for the energetic evaluation and certification of buildings and carries out feasibility studies for building refurbishment, including modern simulation techniques and advanced energy monitoring.
System engineering
Specify and implement subsystems.
Quality for quantity: As a general rule, as the scope of the building project increases, so do the planning requirements and, by extension, the requirements for interaction between all integrated systems. We are prepared for this: We manage large and the largest projects with comprehensive M&P systems engineering, in which the whole system is broken down into subsystems that are easier to control. Parallel to this, we continuously compare implementation across all levels and the synchronisation of subsystems with the predetermined target. This way, M&P systems engineering integrates all project parameters – operation, costs, scheduling, performance, advanced training and support, test, production and recycling – into a uniform structured overview and the basis for consistently robust statements about quality and scheduling.
Creative output
In the nineties, the former Kunsthaus Tacheles developed into an alternative site of pilgrimage for the art and culture scene. Since 2023, the most famous ruined building in the German capital has once again been causing a stir: as an artfully staged urban quarter in Berlin-Mitte. M&P also showed its creative side in the renovation.
Special engineering and prototyping
Specialise your thinking, implement innovation.
Nothing is off the peg. With M&P, engineering is always made-to-measure. The implementation of progressive ideas, in particular, is dependent on superior specialist expertise. We have long since made a name for ourselves with comprehensive special planning in the most diverse areas of construction work. Our references speak for themselves: the planning of the Indian polar station NCAOR and the polar research station Neumayer III from the Alfred Wegener Institute at the South Pole, the Barclaycard Arena, accommodating 16,000 people, a multi-functional arena for sports and cultural events in Hamburg, the “Theater am Hafen” (Theatre on the Harbour) in Hamburg, the venue of the world’s most successful musical “Lion King”, the refurbishment of the Congress Centre Hamburg, sewage plants and sports centres, as well as hospitals. The absolute highlight in our list of references: the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, where we took over the planning supervision of the entire building services engineering, the coordination of the specialist planning in two building phases and quality assurance.
More information on building automation and digitisation:
Building digitisation
Evaluate, link and design systems.
Optimisation through digitisation. As the performance level of systems and components increases, so too do the demands in terms of comfort, efficiency and safety in building technology. To meet the greater customer expectations in the construction and real estate industry, M&P develops holistic digital concepts with innovative, cross-trade functionalities. The prerequisite for this is manufacturer-independent interface communication for all protocols. Our in-depth knowledge of heterogeneous system structures allows us to make reliable statements on the life cycle and future-oriented planning. Through networked cooperation with M&P Energy and M&P Consulting, energy potential can be used synergistically and work processes and organisation can be optimised through Lean principles.
Building cybersecurity
Cybersecure planning, construction and operation of buildings.
M&P sets itself the standard of providing securely networked, state-of-the-art buildings. This is necessary because of the ever-growing threats from cyberspace, which not only apply to IT – the focus of cybercriminals is also increasingly on operational technology (OT). The solution to this is customised risk management and targeted measures for building technology systems to protect people, property and trust.
M&P offers planning and consulting approaches to help our customers find orientation amid the complex structures, processes and regulatory requirements and implement the right protection for their building.
Quality assurance
Ensure quality, optimise results.
Trust is good, control is better. The best thing is to have an intelligent management system that incorporates all aspects of control, along with analysis and optimisation. For this, this need to have a profound technical understanding and knowledge of all project-related aspects. Solving potential problems always requires a holistic appraisal and integrative strength. Highly motivated and qualified staff are, therefore, essential. By using the most cutting-edge tools, outstanding specialist expertise and intelligent methods, we help our clients to avoid long-term planning errors, to recognise any deviations and to secure the investment framework. For us, quality is not relative but a very concrete result of cost-benefit analyses, current status-target comparisons and the creation of efficiency and transparency.
Double power
Heraeus AG is investing in a modern medium-voltage system at its Hanau site. In order to cover its enormous electricity demand in a future-proof manner, the large corporation is putting its faith in the expertise of M&P twice in 2024.
Commisioning and simulation
Plan ahead, take proactive action.
Modern buildings are high-tech. Consequently, the requirements for the commissioning of buildings have risen substantially. Maximum benefits through the use of building services engineering (TGA) can only be secured through professional commissioning management (IBM). This all starts long before a building is completed. It is the only way to guarantee - by means of quality assurance measures – that there are no defects at handover and the efficiency of the systems is improved and enhanced in the long term. Particularly with regard to energy building technologies, commissioning according to LEED and also the US standard is critical as an overarching quality management process. Through the simulation and analysis of critical conditions – for instance with climate and building data and various user profiles – the energy concept can already be optimised in the planning phase and any subsequent damage avoided in the long run.
