Expertise. Reliability. Credibility.

Competo BauConsult GmbH supports banks, investors and property owners in the technical and commercial implementation and management of real estate projects — from initial assessment through to final acceptance, as well as subsequent operation and long-term value preservation.

We provide independent monitoring of costs, quality and schedules, and act as the client’s technical representative in dealings with all project stakeholders.

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

Monitoring for Banks and Investors

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

Through regular target/actual comparisons, well-founded analyses and plausibility checks, we create transparency regarding costs, schedules and quality, as well as the current project status and the associated opportunities and risks — providing a reliable basis for decision-making within the financing process.

Our monitoring services can be flexibly adapted to project-specific requirements and, where needed, may include additional services such as assessment of the marketing status, contract and procurement reviews, invoice checks and approvals, support during acceptance procedures, and the assessment of defects.
