Expertise in public construction projects

Reliability. Control. Quality.
Public construction projects need to meet multiple requirements at once: keeping costs and timelines under control, ensuring transparent project management, and delivering buildings that will still impress tomorrow.
At GOLDBECK, we support your project from the initial planning stage through to long-term operation, combining high-quality architecture with reliable processes, transparent structures and clear quality standards. Especially when growing investment demands require additional capacity, we are a trusted and experienced partner by your side.

1/10 Reliability proven in practice
Offices that work for you.
Office building Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamt, Brunsbüttel
With the construction of the new office building for the Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamt, GOLDBECK delivered a modern, climate-neutral administrative building. As part of a public-private partnership (PPP), GOLDBECK Public Partner will operate the building for 25 years, providing long-term cost certainty and operational reliability.
The building offers around 7,300 square metres of workspace for approximately 480 employees. A full-roof photovoltaic system generates renewable electricity on site, helping to power the building as well as charging stations for electric cars and bicycles.
Planning and construction from a single source
Public construction projects require close coordination between numerous stakeholders, from initial planning and procurement through to realisation. Public procurement law allows public sector clients to combine planning, construction and, where required, operation within a single procurement process, enabling projects to be delivered through a single source of responsibility.
As a design and build contractor, GOLDBECK takes overall responsibility for project delivery. Planning, costing and construction are aligned at an early stage, creating seamless project workflows and enabling faster decision-making.
For you, this means fewer interfaces between project stakeholders, a single point of contact throughout all project phases, and a project structure designed to support efficient, cost-effective and timely delivery.
When multiple similar buildings are to be delivered, standardised designs, framework contracts and framework agreements can offer significant additional benefits. Proven solutions can be replicated, adapted to specific site requirements and delivered more quickly, helping to increase efficiency while maintaining quality.
Projects such as the Modular School Extension Buildings (MEB) in Berlin, standardised sports halls and prototype fire stations demonstrate how speed, quality and planning certainty can be successfully combined, even within larger-scale investment programmes.


Value creation that stays local.
Single-contract procurement brings responsibility together, not value creation. That is why we work closely with regional contractors on public sector construction projects.
Construction is, and always will be, a local industry. That is why we involve regional tradespeople, consultants, suppliers and service providers in our projects from an early stage.
As a design and build contractor, we deliberately award a wide range of services to companies based in your region. These include engineering and design services, interior fit-out works, building services engineering, landscaping, as well as operational and facility management services.
This allows us to combine the benefits of a nationally experienced partner with the expertise and local market knowledge of regional businesses. The result is stronger local economies, shorter supply chains and the foundations for efficient, cost-effective and reliable project delivery.
By your side throughout the entire building lifecycle.
The quality of a building is measured across its entire lifecycle. That is why we consider tomorrow’s requirements from the very beginning, during both planning and construction.
The completion of a building does not mark the end of a project. Over many decades, a property must be operated efficiently, maintained effectively and adapted to changing requirements.
Around 80% of a building’s total costs arise during its operational phase. That is why we take into account the factors that influence energy consumption, maintenance requirements and operating costs from the outset, during planning and construction.
With GOLDBECK’s Real Estate Services, we can continue to support you beyond the construction phase. From technical services and property management to tailored sustainability strategies, we help public sector clients maximise the long-term performance and value of their buildings.
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) make it possible to combine planning, construction, long-term operation and, where required, financing within a single integrated model. This enables decisions to be aligned across the entire building lifecycle, creating greater efficiency and long-term value.
Drawing on more than 20 years of PPP expertise, we support public sector clients in the development and delivery of long-term partnership models lasting up to 30 years. Through close collaboration and a lifecycle-focused approach, we help create sustainable, future-ready public infrastructure.
