Competo BauConsult

Competo BauConsult GmbH assists banks, investors, and property owners with the technical and financial implementation and management of real estate projects—from the initial assessment through final acceptance to subsequent management and value preservation.

We ensure independent oversight of costs, quality, and deadlines, and, as the technical point of contact, represent the client’s interests vis-à-vis all project participants.

Our services are based on many years of experience in supporting project developments and existing properties—including monitoring and reporting for banks, asset management companies, and investors.

Monitoring for Banks and Investors

We support banks, investors, and institutional lenders by providing independent, structured monitoring of construction projects.

Through regular target/actual comparisons, in-depth analyses, and plausibility checks, we provide transparency regarding costs, schedules, and quality, as well as the current project status and the associated opportunities and risks—serving as a reliable basis for decision-making in the context of financing.

Our monitoring can be flexibly adapted to project-specific requirements and, if needed, includes additional services such as assessing the marketing status, reviewing contracts and awards, auditing and approving invoices, providing support during acceptance, and evaluating defects.

    • Comparison of the project budget’s target and actual figures, including order status, cash outflows, and cost forecasts
    • Assessment of compliance with the agreed-upon funding framework and the use of funds
    • Identification and assessment of cost risks, particularly those arising from change orders, forecast variances, and contract award developments
    • Validation of cost and cash flows based on available project information
    • Comparison of planned versus actual schedules based on the agreed-upon project parameters
    • Determination of actual construction progress as the basis for schedule evaluation
    • Identification of significant deviations and assessment of their impact on key milestones
    • Assessment of compliance with the agreed-upon project and financing milestones
    • Review of project documentation for traceability, consistency, and compliance with the agreed-upon project objectives
    • Regular on-site spot checks of construction work
    • Technical evaluation of the quality of workmanship, including documentation
