What We Do - QualiCasa

About the job

Construction quality assurance and intelligent lifecycle management for real estate

Despite careful planning, deviations in execution often occur in construction projects. Details are implemented differently than intended, and defects sometimes only become visible during acceptance. The consequences are delays, additional coordination effort, and extra costs.

This dynamic continues during operation: investments become unexpectedly necessary, priorities shift, and pressure on the portfolio increases. Planning gradually turns into reaction and control into growing uncertainty.

This is exactly where Qualicasa comes in.

Already during the construction phase, we ensure transparency and detect deviations early before they have financial impacts. During operation, we create reliable foundations for structured investment planning – moving away from reactive individual measures towards strategic management. Depending on your needs, we support you with sound condition analyses or as part of technical asset management as a continuous technical sparring partner for your portfolio. This creates a consistent decision-making basis that objectively reflects the condition of buildings and makes investments prioritised in a targeted manner.

Our approach connects planning, construction, acceptance, and operation in a seamless system.

With up-to-date data, transparent risks, and clearly prioritised measures, we enable you to proactively manage your properties and portfolios. You always know which properties require action, how your portfolio is developing, and where you need to intervene today rather than tomorrow.

We would be happy to show you, using your properties and projects, how this form of management can look in practice.

Construction and erection phase

Realisation

Qualicasa offers construction process-accompanying quality assurance through targeted inspections at critical points to minimise construction defect risks early. We accompany your project throughout the entire construction process and ensure compliance with contractually agreed services and standards. With risk reporting, photo protocols, and comprehensive QA construction rounds, you always keep an overview of all trades and building elements.

Construction and erection phase

Acceptance process/ handover

Qualicasa conducts a detailed inspection before handover to ensure that all work parts are flawless and contract-compliant. With preliminary inspections and targeted measurements, the acceptance process is professionally organised and potential defects are detected early and triaged appropriately. This ensures that your construction project is handed over in optimal condition and your warranty claims are preserved.

• Detailed inspection before handover (HVACSE, general building components and apartments)
• Conducting preliminary inspections, standard definitions, and targeted measurements
• Professional organisation of the acceptance process
• Early detection and targeted triage of potential defects
• Ensuring an optimal handover condition and preservation of warranty claims

Usage phase

Complaint / warranty

Qualicasa ensures timely inspection and complaint of remaining defects so that your construction project is handed over in flawless condition to the usage phase. With a final inspection before the expiry of the complaint period, we protect your warranty claims and support you in enforcing your defect rights – including for hidden defects. This minimises your risk and secures the quality of your building in the long term.

• Timely inspection and complaint of remaining defects
• Support in planning and conducting the 2-year complaint period inspections
• Support in enforcing defect rights, including for hidden defects
• Final inspection before expiry of the complaint period to protect warranty claims

Usage phase / inventory of existing properties

Technical condition analysis – initial

Qualicasa offers a specifically tailored analysis where clients provide their data, such as construction descriptions or similar documents. Based on the fact that the building is still in the early phase of its lifecycle, we create a rough overview of upcoming investments. Through our well-founded lifecycle model and precise analyses, we identify where the focus in maintenance should be to avoid premature costs and component failures.

With this forward-looking planning, we enable targeted maintenance management, secure investment efficiency, and create a basis for sustainable building management. This way, you always keep an overview and can take measures early to protect the long-term value of your building.

• Document review
• Diagnosis (without component text)
• Cost plausibility check
• Risk adjustment

Digital tools

QC Capex

With QC Capex, you record components and material properties of your real estate portfolio in a standardised way and thus keep an overview of condition and renovation potentials. A scientifically based risk model helps quantify construction-technical risks and secure strategic decisions such as value preservation or sale. Intelligent renovation suggestions optimise your investment planning and promote synergies for sustainable portfolio development. The digital application is fully integrated into the Immopac and Wüest Dimensions platforms and enables seamless use within the existing system environment.

Digital tools

QC VISITS

With QC Visits, you digitally and standardly record and maintain the inventory of your real estate portfolio. The intuitive app enables a quick and uniform inventory of all building and component properties according to individual specifications. You can freely choose the thematic focus – whether construction-technical condition, sustainability, or owner liability. Thanks to open interfaces such as to the Real Estate Data Exchange Platform (REDX) and integrations with SIDAC, Wüest Dimensions, and Immopac, seamless data exchange across all platforms is ensured.

Digital tools

QC Sustainability

With QC Sustainability, you simulate the energy and CO₂ reduction path of your buildings quickly and precisely, thus gaining an overview of the sustainable development of your building and portfolio. An interactive reduction path allows scenario planning and shows the effects of energy measures on your maintenance planning. Comparability within the portfolio is based on the nationally recognised REIDA standard, while the individualisation of emission factors ensures high detail accuracy – ideal for strategic and sustainable property and portfolio management.
