What we do in the construction sector

PUM supports entrepreneurs, professionals and organisations across the entire construction value chain.

Whether you are a contractor, supplier, architect, engineer or involved in supporting activities within the sector, PUM is ready to assist you or collaborate to move your business forward.

Supporting the building industry

We work with contractors looking to streamline their operations and make their building processes more sustainable. Our experts help reduce waste, improve on-site efficiency, and apply modern methods such as prefabrication. For engineers, we support the development of innovative concepts that integrate cost control, new materials, and better design approaches. 

Suppliers, such as manufacturers of materials or prefab elements, benefit from our support in optimising production, improving quality, reducing energy and resource use, and ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards. Business development, R&D, marketing, and cost estimation are also key areas where our experts provide hands-on advice. 

Projects for clients across the lifecycle

From the earliest feasibility studies to design, construction, and the use and maintenance of buildings, PUM can support your project every step of the way. We assist with housing developments, schools, hospitals, factories, leisure facilities, hospitality venues, retail spaces, offices, and more. 

PUM experts bring a holistic view to project development, ensuring that design choices are integrated with construction methods, long-term maintenance needs, and environmental performance. This results in more resilient, adaptable, and future-proof buildings. 

Supporting enablers of construction

Beyond the building site, PUM also works with organisations that enable and shape the construction sector. These include: 

• Industry organisations that promote knowledge exchange and improve sector collaboration. 
• Local authorities engaged in urban planning, business parks, or residential area development.
