Industry examples
We are at home in numerous industries and will also take care of your project!
Whether it is a business space covering 6,000 square metres for a financial services provider or a 300-square-metre store for an international retail chain which is to undergo an extensive facelift in the shortest possible time and at many locations: the challenges in the refurbishment and extension of business spaces and worlds of experience may vary from sector to sector. They have one thing in common, however: the quality must be right, the predefined costs must be adhered to and the opening date must be preserved. The GC professionals at umdasch will ensure that this is so and take care of a wide variety of projects in the areas of banking and financial services, retail, experience worlds and headquarters, malls and shopping centres, museums, system gastronomy and many more.

General Contracting by umdasch
Worlds of experience and headquarters
Bonava
The new Bonava headquarters was integrated into an old cinema for that special feel-good factor. One of the requirements for umdasch was to intervene as little as possible in the building fabric in order to preserve the character of the cinema. Due to the space and the open roof truss, a huge, ultra-modern open office with loft character was created, including think tanks on various gallery levels.
01 Property Assessment
— Feasibility studies for the space planning for the Think Tanks
— Securing of the statics and the load-bearing constructions as the existing structure was to be modified as little as possible
02 Approval Process
— Official approval of the rebuilding project obtained by umdasch
— Escape route planning
— Clarification of the possibilities of adapting the building’s technical infrastructure
