To help all those who maintain value to increase value

More than 85 % of today's buildings will still be standing in 30 years*. This makes maintaining and increasing the value of existing properties a central focus. At the same time, topics like climate protection, scarcity of resources and new concepts for use demand innovative approaches to adaptive reuse projects. The challenge is that existing buildings need to be modernised to be more energy efficient, adjusted to changing climate conditions and renovated in a way that is economically attractive in the long run. This is where sustainability requirements meet cost efficiency and design ambitions – a challenging balance for all the key players in the construction industry.  

The EU Green Deal – New framework, new opportunities

The EU has set clear guidelines with the aim to be carbon neutral by 2050. But almost 75% of existing buildings in the EU are considered to be inefficient in terms of energy and are an obstacle to achieving climate targets*. Subsidy programmes and mandatory energy efficiency standards create additional renovation incentives. These political motivations make existing buildings a rapidly-growing market that offers equal opportunities to investors, architects, fabricators and building operators.

Project-specific renovation concepts to increase the value of existing buildings

Every renovation is unique. Unforeseen circumstances are the norm and the possibilities of the solutions are varied and complex. Therefore, renovation projects require customised strategies which are tailored to the circumstances of the existing buildings. With Schüco Value Up, construction projects in existing buildings can be carried out systematically and in a way that enhances their value. This project-specific approach for the renovation of building envelopes provides all project stakeholders with greater certainty and predictability throughout the entire process.

The four phases of Schüco Value Up

We support building projects in existing structures with Schüco Value Up, a comprehensive solution offering that brings together tailored products and services throughout the entire renovation process. From analysis the existing building and planning through to implementation and subsequent building operation, we help all project stakeholders successfully manage individual and complex requirements.

Greater transparency in the investment decision-making process

We analyse the building envelope precisely and make the renovation potential of a building visible and measurable for all those involved in the project. This enables them to make informed, economical decisions – and increase the potential value of the property as much as possible and for the long term.

Reduced planning complexity

We offer precise simulation and planning tools which can be used to quickly grasp complex project requirements and minimise uncertainties at an early stage. Our specialists provide support with the development of customised renovation concepts and individual solutions – in a project-specific way that is tailored to the requirements of the existing building.

Greater reliability and cost-effectiveness in implementation

We enable efficient and reliable execution of renovation projects. With our solutions for every type of renovation – from refurbishment to replacing units or a full renovation – renovation measures can be implemented in a reliable and cost-effective way. Our approach reduces costs and offers flexibility. The result is sustainable, value-enhancing solutions for the respective property.

Greater functionality and efficiency for building operation

We support efficient building operations through digital tools and minimally invasive measures, helping to extend the service life of existing systems and building components. Our regular maintenance and repair services also contribute to preserving the property’s long-term value.
