More about conpli

Material concept

Together with you, we will develop a bespoke material concept tailored to the requirements of your project and your desired certification systems. In doing so, we take into account aspects such as material health, circularity, and all relevant certification criteria.

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 conduct on-site inspections to verify that the planned measures have been implemented and coordinate indoor air quality measurements to assess the environment.

Operational documentation

Finally, we create comprehensive, easy-to-understand documentation for building operations. This ensures that all relevant product and material information is transparently available, supporting the long-term preservation of material value.
