We support you in the planning and execution of projects in China. We distinguish ourselves through the knowledge of the Chinese building regulations around façade constructions combined with German engineering and planning services. The projects are carried out on-site by our employees in the offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Our services for the realization of facade constructions:
Pre-dimensioning and clarification of feasibility
Preliminary draft and definition of basic construction details
Technical support for tendering
Static calculation of façade construction
Independent examination of execution planning
Preparation, implementation and evaluation of component tests
Documentation of damage and assessment
On-site supervision
