Construction is HOCHTIEF's core competence. Our range comprises traditional construction business and construction management in the fields of building construction, civil engineering and infrastructure facilities. It includes services such as the procurement of required materials which, from a strategic perspective, ideally complement the construction business before, during and after the building works.

Traditional construction business

Thanks to our global network we are present in all the key markets of the world–with innovative solutions and the very best people. Construction means on-the-spot creation–anywhere in the world, under a whole range of often changing conditions.

For a limited period, of days, weeks or months, a building site is equivalent to a medium-sized enterprise with an output valued in millions of euros, engaged not in mass manufacture but in the production of a single, unique structure.

So this is a business that demands not just outstanding engineering skills but also the capacity to handle the complex logistics of non-stationary production and manage the risks involved in a constantly evolving organization. Essential–and established–prerequisites for this are virtual structures and networked communications, of the kind that other industries are still aiming for.

The following Group companies deliver services for you:

Construction planning

Before construction commences, HOCHTIEF offers its clients a complete service package. This can include, for instance, all design and planning work–from obtaining the necessary official approvals through the preparation of a detailed concept for the building site logistics.

Insurance services

Insuring projects and project risks is part of our planning portfolio. We offer customized insurance services to all operative Group units and external project partners. We have generated added value for HOCHTIEF, and hence our clients, by making this strategic addition. Insurance cover is not only available for real estate projects, but also for all operation services. Clients, owners and end users can even turn to HOCHTIEF after completion of the construction phase to take out insurance against risks such as fire and interruption of operations.
