With a presence in over 70 countries on five continents, the German construction industry contributes its expertise – either through classical export business, joint ventures or via local subsidiaries and affiliated companies – to delivering technically ambitious infrastructure and building projects globally, especially in the fields of infrastructure, special foundation work, civil engineering as well as energy and water supply and waste disposal.The German construction industry has earned an excellent international reputation based on extraordinary engineering skills, high-quality project management, timely execution of construction works, and the innovative strength of German construction companies. Construction “Made in Germany” combines German virtues such as reliability and adherence to schedules with an emphatic commitment to quality and sustainability.

This technical expertise is supplemented by extensive experience and knowledge of the legal, social and cultural background and characteristics in the respective international markets. By definition, construction companies perform their production services on-site in the country concerned and, therefore, experts from Germany are used to working hand-in-hand with local partners. By doing so, the subsidiaries and affiliates of the German international contractors contribute to maintaining highly qualified jobs on the home markets.
