Façade renovations that create value and minimise risks

Vacancy, ESG pressure, renovation backlogs – existing buildings present a level of risk, but they also offer enormous potential. With Schüco Value Up, investors, project developers and main contractors can transform these challenges into increased value thanks to a customised façade concept that combines sustainability, energy efficiency and design quality. For future-proof properties and steady returns.

Growth sector of existing buildings – where value is created

A large proportion of today's existing buildings will also still be used in 30 years – often without reaching their full potential. For investors and project developers, this means that those who invest in renovation and energy-efficient modernisation in a targeted way can tap into new sources for returns and sustainably increase market value. Financial incentives, ESG specifications and diversified usage requirements make existing projects a strategic growth area. With Schüco Value Up, successfully increasing value is scalable, efficient and customised to your project strategy.

To help all those who maintain value to increase value

Renovation projects in existing buildings require precision, process reliability and ESG-compliant strategies. With the Schüco Value Up toolbox, all those involved on the project receive tailored solutions along the entire renovation process – from the analysis and planning through to implementation and operation. The structured 4-phase logic ( Analyse, Plan, Rebuild, Maintain ) creates transparency, minimises risks and increases the value added. For more predictability, security of returns and future viability in existing buildings.

Analyse to Upgrade

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.

Plan to Upgrade

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 – for each specific project and tailored to the requirements of the existing building.

Rebuild to Upgrade

We enable the 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 carried out 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.

Maintain to Upgrade

We ensure efficient operation of the building and offer digital tools and minimally invasive measures to extend the useful life of buildings while they are still in use. Our innovative systems lower operating costs, increase user comfort and improve energy efficiency, while regular maintenance and repair services guarantee the long-term preservation of the value of the property.

FAQs

How does Schüco Value Up support investors and building developers to meet the EU, taxonomy and ESG requirements for existing buildings?

Schüco Value Up provides ESG-compliant renovation solutions that help investors to position their properties along the EU taxonomy and CRREM pathways for the long term. From the building analysis to the carbon footprint using the EPD, Schüco supports the fulfilment of regulatory requirements – documented, based on data and eligible for funding. This means your property is assessed as 'green', not 'grey'.

In which ways does Schüco Value Up increase the value and returns of an existing building in the long run?

Thanks to the targeted refurbishment of building envelopes, transparent ESG strategies and optimisation of subsidies, Schüco Value Up increases the energy efficiency, rental appeal and taxonomy compliance of your property. This results in better cash flows, greater market interest and an active contribution to exit readiness in the green buildings environment.

How does Schüco Value Up reduce the risks and unforeseen issues associated with renovating existing buildings?

Thanks to precise building data, standardised processes and a pro-active project structure, Schüco minimises risks like soaring costs, construction delays or regulatory pitfalls. The combination of digital analysis, simulation and CRREM-compliant planning provides investors with maximum predictability, even in complex existing buildings.

Which services and renovation measures are included in the Schüco Value Up concept for existing buildings?

Value Up offers an integrated package of measures: digital inventory of the existing building (including drone scan), rough analysis of energy efficiency, individual renovation concepts for windows and façades, creation of EPDs, subsidy service, maintenance, repair and digital management via Schüco IoF. Everything from a single source – modular, scalable and designed to be profitable and ESG-compliant.

In what way does Schüco Value Up differ from a traditional renovation that does not use this concept?

Schüco Value Up focuses on the strategic renovation of façades in existing buildings using a structured, data-based approach. Unlike selective measures or purely technical renovations, Value Up offers a solution that integrates ESG targets, cost-effectiveness and regulatory requirements specially for building envelopes. This means greater planning reliability, more access to support and investment security in the long run – without taking on the risk of a complete renovation.

How does Schüco Value Up support investors and project developers in deciding whether to "demolish or renovate"?

The answer to this question is determined using Schüco Value Up data and is based on building analysis, renovation potential, the carbon footprint and eligibility for funding. Independent comparison models show if it is worthwhile to renovate or whether dismantling is more economical. The recommendation is not based on a gut feeling, but on facts – individual to your project. Contact us for an informed evaluation.

How can Schüco Value Up help to avoid the risk of stranded assets?

Stranded assets (buildings that are no longer worth investing in due to regulations) occur when modernisation measures either happen too late or are insufficient. Schüco Value Up helps to prevent this: with ESG-compliant renovation measures, taxonomy alignment and planning that is compatible with CRREM, your existing building remains useful, affordable and keeps its value. Those who make smart investments today prevent stranded assets in the future.
