Bremerhaven creates the future: three new schools on schedule!

Bremerhaven, Deutschland - In Bremerhaven, an exciting development in school construction planning draws all the stops. The city has decided to use three new schools to use an innovative construction project that should not only be efficient but also inexpensive. Like Buten and Binnen , the school center Hamburger Straße will be ceremoniously opened after the summer holidays. Around 700 children and adolescents will spend their schooling here in the future.

The site manager Kai Hamel is responsible for the three schools under construction: In addition to the school center Hamburger Straße, the new Lehe and the new elementary school Lehe are also being built. "We are in the best of time and budgets," says Hamel. The construction costs for the three institutions amount to around 190 million euros. Financing takes place via the municipal housing company (Stäwog), which the schools rented to the city for at least 30 years.

innovative methods for school building

It is particularly noteworthy that it is the first German project as part of the "Integrated Project Alliance" (IPA). Here, all trades - from the architect to interior design to technology - have been working hand in hand since the start of the planning phase. This goes so far that weekly meetings take place to continuously discuss the construction progress, such as WTM Engineers reports.

With this interdisciplinary approach, numerous partners who work together in a multi-party contract are also involved. "The aim is to achieve the defined goals of the project processing in the best possible way," explain those responsible. Again and again two design variants are developed for each location and then coordinated in a jury. This not only creates transparency, but also produces creative ideas that flow into the planning.

construction industry in the upswing

The construction industry in Germany has struggled with a serious change in recent years. According to experts, the price war at the turn of the millennium was shaped by market adjustments and company slides. This has caused the demand for apartments, office space and infrastructure projects to rose sharply, while the offer decreases continuously. The current project culture is often described as confrontative, since contractors and clients often see themselves in a dilemma between maximizing their own benefit and the fulfillment of sustainable construction goals. The challenges of the construction industry can also be felt in Bremerhaven, especially in the implementation of public projects where costs and appointments cannot always be met.

The innovative “project alliance” could now be a step in the right direction to counteract the current challenges and to enable more efficient implementation of construction projects. The Bremerhaveners in school show show that you can have a good hand when it comes to future -oriented planning and cooperation, with everyone involved being involved from the start. Bremerhaven could not only be one step ahead in the local political discussion, but also in the construction innovation.
