Sonar Development is developing the "EBH Eschborn" project as the owner's representative and is focusing on the sustainable revitalization of existing buildings.
The "EBH Eschborn" construction project envisages the conversion of two vacant office buildings from the 1980s into modern multi-storey residential buildings. Both existing buildings will be dismantled down to the concrete skeleton, supplemented with circular arcades as access and balcony areas and additional storeys will be added.
The construction site is located in the south-western residential area of the town of Eschborn and extends over a plot area of approx. 4.000 m² for building 7 and approx. 3,700 m² for building 8. It is bordered to the north by the main road with a direct connection to the inner-city road network and to the south by the railroad facilities of the S3 and S4 S-Bahn lines. The planned revitalization will thus create new living space with direct access to public transport.
The project is aiming for DGNB "Sustainable Building Site" certification from the German Sustainable Building Council.

Certified by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB)
Ed. Züblin AG is pursuing several goals with this project: A sustainable construction site organization, the conservation of resources as well as the minimization of emissions, responsibility for the health and well-being of the builders, the cultivation of good neighbourliness and, of course, high-quality construction. For this, Ed. Züblin AG was the first company to be recognized by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

Selected measures in the project
-
Synergies with DGNB building certification
In the EBH Eschborn construction project, the sustainability efforts are illustrated by the application of both the DGNB NBS and the DGNB building certification. This allows synergies between the two forms of certification to be exploited and the issue of sustainability is considered and taken into account from the initial planning stage through the construction phase to the later use phase.
-
Digital concrete call-off
In order to be able to coordinate the concreting in the best possible way, the call-offs are made using a digital application. The delivery rates can be coordinated with the concrete pump, particularly during concreting, thus reducing the waiting times of the concrete mixers. Production times are optimized and noise emissions are reduced.
-
Saving resources and reducing emissions through LEAN Construction
As part of the lean approach, a production plan with call-off dates (e.g. insulation) was created. Construction production planning is detailed on a weekly basis and adapted to actual production progress. Changes in the construction process are constantly taken into account and just-in-time deliveries can be better implemented. Repeat orders and new orders due to late changes to the plan are avoided.
