3. Circular Construction

Rapp stands for resource-saving and pollutant-free construction and promotes reusability right from the planning stage. 

Circular construction provides an answer to the environmental impacts of extraction, manufacturing, transport, installation, weathering and deposition of building materials. 

Pollutant emissions from building materials and building products, microbial contamination from humidity and high carbon dioxide concentrations in indoor air all have impacts on human health. 

Circular construction encompasses various concepts and techniques to maximise resource efficiency and minimise costs along the entire life cycle of buildings and infrastructure. The digital capture of materials in BIM and innovative business models ("product as a service") allow materials to be managed between different locations and parties.

Specific targets

  • Rapp is committed to ensuring that re-use components, recycled building materials and non-polluting building materials are used in projects wherever possible.
  • Rapp is committed to ensuring that all demolition and excavation work is reused where appropriate.
