Process

From project supervision to general planner

After the abrupt end of a significant project (Europe Tower Sofia) in the course of the financial crisis, one of our owners had the opportunity to take over the management of the object supervision for gmp Architekten from Hamburg for the significant project Pier A-Plus at Frankfurt Airport, which had just started the construction phase. After a short familiarization phase, the planning consortium assigned Klaus Debus the "general planner" job.

Result

Experience and network for life

We learned an extreme amount from the professionals at Fraport, knitted an extensive network of experts and helped get the pier up and running at the right time to deliver the Airbus A 380.
