We manage the certification of the sustainable building quality (QNG) of your construction project

Quality sustainable building certification (QNG) for promotion by KFN/KFW

Certification (BIRN) QNG - reduce CO₂, utilise KfW funding

Do you want to construct a new building and focus on sustainability?

And would you like to take advantage of subsidised KfW loans?

Then QNG certification - Quality Sustainable Building - is essential for you.

However, sustainable building is far more than just an ecological trend - it is a forward-looking standard that combines ecological responsibility with economic benefits. Up to 55% of a building's total CO₂ emissions are generated during the construction phase. Those who act early not only make an active contribution to climate protection, but also benefit in the long term from lower operating costs and attractive funding opportunities.

Because real estate is also about future generations

ESTATE ENGINEERS works with you to develop individual, climate-friendly concepts that rely on low-emission materials, resource-conserving construction methods and compliance with recognised standards - such as DGNB, KfW Efficiency House 40 NH or the state-subsidised QNG certification (Quality Seal for Sustainable Buildings). This certification is the key to funding programmes such as the KfW loan ‘Climate-friendly new build’, which enables funding of up to €150,000 per residential unit, depending on the design.

The requirements for QNG certification are comprehensive: CO₂ limit values based on a life cycle analysis, ecological and social criteria, aspects such as healthy living, comfort, accessibility and resource-saving operation must be fulfilled and documented. For owners, investors, private house builders and planning partners, this means complex processes, many interfaces - and a clear need for professional project management.

ESTATE ENGINEERS manages the organisation and coordination of sustainable construction and certification for you. We ensure the structured involvement of all parties involved, take over communication with certification bodies and specialist planners as auditors and ensure that all QNG criteria can be fulfilled efficiently, with quality assurance and on time. In addition, we actively support you in applying for and utilising state subsidies - from consultation and application to documentation.

Our goal: sustainable properties that impress in ecological, economic and functional terms. With our experience, our network and our commitment to quality, we make your construction project ready for a subsidisable and sustainable future - from planning to handover.

ESTATE ENGINEERS - your partner for sustainable construction with responsibility, structure and vision.
