More about conpli

Material concept

Together with you, we develop a tailor-made material concept that is tailored to the requirements of your project and the desired certification systems. In doing so, we lay the foundation for healthy, sustainable and circular construction.

Preparation of the tender

We support you in preparing the tender documents and ensure that the defined material requirements are transferred to construction practice in a clear, comprehensible and implementable manner.

Introduction of testing process

About our software platform Conpli The entire testing and evaluation process is presented transparently. Here, planners, construction supervisors and contractors work together seamlessly — for a smooth flow of information and consistent implementation of material requirements on the construction site.

Product testing

We test and evaluate all construction products used in terms of health, environmental compatibility and system compliance. In doing so, you benefit from our unique combination of materials and construction expertise.

Inspection and room air measurement

We check directly on site whether the implementation has been carried out correctly and organise indoor air measurements to ensure healthy living.

Operational documentation

Finally, we create complete, understandable documentation for building operation. This makes all relevant product and material information transparently available — as a basis for permanently healthy and sustainable building management.
