What Metabuild GmbH does

Metabuild GmbH is a Berlin-based, privately held data-driven building analytics and advisory firm founded in 2018, serving real estate owners, developers, and investors across the full building lifecycle. Its offering is organized into 15 service modules spanning renovation roadmaps for existing stock, new construction optimization, ESG due diligence for acquisitions, portfolio steering, intelligent building data management, lifecycle cost modeling, maintenance and cost planning, DGNB/LEED/BREEAM certification support, CO2 accounting including gray emissions, CRREM-aligned ESG stranding risk analysis, data-driven competition support, planning second opinions, energy consulting and energy certificates, daylight simulation, and indoor comfort simulation. The underlying technology is a proprietary building data analytics engine that processes property-level data to surface cost risks, optimization opportunities, and ESG compliance gaps, and is offered both as a full-service consulting engagement and as a headless API for integration into customer processes. The company is led by founder and CEO Tariq Kaddoura and operates with 11-50 employees.

The business model is B2B professional services delivered on a quote-based, consultative basis with no publicly disclosed pricing and a contact-first sales motion ("Jetzt kontaktieren" / "Sprechen wir miteinander"). Named enterprise customers include Strenger Gruppe, KauriCAB (which has optimized over 170,000 m² of gross floor area using Metabuild and embedded the platform into its development processes), Berlinovo, Daimler, Allianz, Landmarken, and Aachener Grund, spanning real estate development, asset and property management, insurance/financial services, and corporate real estate. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales complemented by the headless API channel; the firm maintains a bilingual German/English website indicating DACH-plus go-to-market ambition. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or management additions beyond the founder are disclosed, and revenue is not publicly reported.
