When we talk about sustainability, we always refer to three pillars: environment, social, and governance. We are convinced that we can only be successful if we consider all three areas with equal importance.

Benefit from the power of nature

Recycling meets regionality. And that's even more. Our spirit goes beyond that. It all starts with us. With our commitment to ecological creation. From renewable energy and renewable raw materials to e-mobility. Great things can be built on the foundation of willpower.

Creating space for humanity.

Health meets ethics. The day begins with a smile. Appreciation is evident in our expression. Respect for our fellow human beings, regardless of where they come from, what they think, or how they live. A healthy attitude to life that we share with one another. We work shoulder to shoulder and hand in

Guarantee success through foresight.

Innovation meets experience. Every project begins with a good plan. The foundation is competence and know-how. Quality is our focus. Our mission is to conserve resources, both with regard to people and materials. We look to the future. The courage to try new things is in the air.

ESG at HANDLER

For us and the next generations.

We are committed to future-proof construction. To ensure this goal is also strategically embedded within the company, we conducted a dual materiality analysis together with our stakeholders. This combines the inside-out and outside-in perspectives of relevant topics, reduces complexity, and enables us to focus on topics that are relevant to us.
As part of further consolidation measures, all relevant sustainability topics were summarized into seven strategic priorities. These strategic priorities encompass medium- to long-term goals that are now being implemented step by step, either in the form of development projects or within the line management by the responsible teams.

Circular Economy

Decarbonization

Sustainable Construction and Community Development

Health and Safety

Circular Economy

We are committed to the circular economy, focusing on continuing education and knowledge development through partnerships and internal networking. As an established expert, we raise awareness of the circular economy both within and outside the company.

Decarbonization

We make an active contribution to climate protection: We set and define CO2 reduction targets and implement measures to reduce our CO2 footprint both within our own sphere of influence through employee training and the promotion of renewable energy, as well as along the value chain.

Sustainable Construction and Community Development

We rely on our 360° expertise. We plan, research, develop, build, and sell real estate. Our focus is on smooth project execution and the early involvement of all value-added partners. We work in interdisciplinary teams on visionary products.

Health and Safety

The well-being of our employees is important to us. We encourage health and safety and support them through preventative measures. Our goal is to further develop and make workplace health promotion transparent.

HANDLER imagines new futures, questions conventions and traditions with the aim of preserving the world and shaping it for future generations.
Everyone's talking about Lean and BIM.
At HANDLER, we actually work with them.

Team.Fixe

Lean management from acquisition to warranty

LEAN is more than a project management system. LEAN is a corporate philosophy. It stands for openness, transparency, appreciation, and the integration of the expertise of every single value-added partner. They are the experts for further improvements and the guarantors of customer satisfaction.
At HANDLER, the LEAN working method is called Team.Fixe and stands for regular communication between all trades on an equal footing. Team.Fixe is practiced on 90 percent of our construction sites—a level of excellence that is unusual in the industry.

Advantages of Team.Fixe

  • Better planning
  • True transparency
  • Sustainable use of resources
  • Satisfied stakeholders

Better planning

With a detailed milestone plan and regular check-ins, we create space for ourselves. Better collaboration between trades results in shorter downtimes and fewer "firefighting operations" for everyone involved.

True transparency

Those directly involved in the project always receive all important information. This allows bottlenecks to be identified early and delays or duplication of effort to be avoided.

Sustainable use of resources

Better coordination also means less waste for everyone involved: of materials, time and effort.

Satisfied stakeholders

For employees, the construction process can be made less stressful and more transparent. Customers benefit from Team.Fixe in terms of planning security, cost transparency, and on-time completion.

Building Information Modeling

Build on the right tools.

It's a model for the future, in the truest sense of the word. BIM stands for Building Information Modeling, and it means that buildings are first constructed virtually. The work is being done on the digital twin of the construction project. It looks like a 3D model, but that's deceptive. The model goes beyond the third dimension. There's a fourth: time. A fifth: costs. And a sixth: sustainability.
All project participants, from estimation and planning to implementation, enter their information into the model. BIM is a data and process model, not a finished solution. Operational data is continuously updated, regenerated, and compared. Anything that doesn't fit can be identified and improved early on. This type of digitalization is rarely required on the market. HANDLER relies on open BIM solutions and is a pioneer in the field. BIM has been in use here for years and is continuously being developed further.

Advantages of BIM

  • Transparent collaboration
  • Planning reliability
  • Central data management
  • Increased efficiency

Integrated Project Delivery

Partnership models in the construction and real estate industry

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and alliance agreements are the pillars of this future. They bridge the gap between the traditionally strict separation between planning and execution and the vision of collaborative construction. IMP enables all participating companies to contribute their expertise early on and, in consultation with architects, deliver the best possible outcome for the project.
Contractual frameworks are shifting away from work contracts toward alliance contracts. This involves a multi-party agreement that spans the entire project. Risks and rewards are shared among the project participants. Cost and schedule certainty are increasing significantly.

Advantages of collaborative construction

  • High level of detail in planning
  • Cost certainty
  • Coordination with all necessary trades

Integrated Project Delivery

Early in the project.

The sooner all project participants can contribute their know-how and expertise, the fewer unexpected changes there will be in terms of planning, time, and costs after submission. This creates a win-win situation for both the client and the construction company.

Madaster - the cadaster for building materials

Madaster is an innovative and forward-looking platform for enabling a circular economy for all aspects of the construction and real estate industry. The web-based application stores a wealth of information about materials, including their circularity factor, ecological footprint, and residual value. This gives the material an identity.

HANDLER is Madaster Kennedy Partner

The Madaster Kennedys are pioneers in the construction and real estate industry. Together with Madaster, we take responsibility for the environment and climate, implementing visionary projects like the "Greenity Gate" in Guntramsdorf on behalf of IG Immobilien, and thus jointly enabling a circular economy.
