StrategyTargeted growth. Building sustainably.
Intelligent growth for sustainable success.
In Switzerland, too, PORR is focussing on its core competence - construction. What counts for us is the result, not the volume. This is how we define intelligent growth.
Switzerland is one of the PORR Group's home markets. We have continuously strengthened our market position in recent years. Since 2014, we have significantly expanded the areas of general/total contracting for Building construction as well as tunnelling. Thanks to the cooperation of all the key experts within the Group, we can also offer our customers in Switzerland comprehensive services - from building construction and civil engineering to infrastructure and tunnelling.
We encourage our employees to think and act entrepreneurially and to work as a team. Clearly defined competencies and responsibilities as well as a lean, flexible organisation with short decision-making processes are crucial to our success. We also focus intensively on the future topics of the construction industry: digitalisation and innovation. This makes us a dynamic company with growth potential.
Digitalisation: On the way to a paperless construction site.
For several years now, we have been working intensively on topics such as digitalisation, building information modelling (BIM), paperless construction sites and the new world of work. Why? With state-of-the-art technologies, we can realise your construction project quickly, efficiently, cost-effectively and, above all, transparently.
PORR 2025 programme for the future.
With the PORR 2025 programme for the future , PORR is also continuing to focus on the strengths of the Group, thereby optimising the efficiency of the organisation. Management structures will be streamlined, the business model sharpened and the portfolio selectively adapted.
"The future programme PORR 2025 is the largest transformation programme in the history of PORR," says Karl-Heinz Strauss, CEO of PORR.
We are focussing on know-how transfer.
Different perspectives provide new opportunities. This is why PORR works closely with partners from science and research on all of its home markets. In doing so, we focus on long-term co-operations: These are usually multi-year projects for the further development of complex technical processes in civil and structural engineering. Our particular focus is always on conserving resources.
Innovation is omnipresent in our company.
New ideas and creative concepts make the difference and deliver competitive advantages. That is why every PORRian is responsible for innovation. The "Technology Management and Innovation" department is our central point of contact for all employees from the operational areas of consulting and support - also in Switzerland.
Progress and further development have a long tradition at PORR. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, the inventions of civil engineer Arthur Porr - the founder and namesake of our company - led to a significant breakthrough in concrete construction.
For us, the digital construction site is already a reality.
At PORR, we don't just think three-dimensionally with BIM. We have now arrived at the 5D planning system: With the fourth dimension we include time, with the fifth we include costs. This results in error minimisation, shorter decision-making phases, an improved flow of information and cost savings. This benefits everyone involved in the project: our customers, our partners - and of course ourselves.
Investing in the future today is therefore worthwhile.
