Vollack Group

What Vollack Group does

Vollack Gruppe GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, is a privately held Design+Build specialist founded in 1988 that delivers integrated architecture, engineering, and construction services across the full project lifecycle — from strategy alignment and project development through general planning, project management, and construction execution. The firm operates eight locations in Germany with approximately 300 employees, roughly two-thirds of whom are architects or engineers, and serves enterprise, public-sector, and mid-market clients in verticals including biotech and pharma, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, education, food, medtech, and office working environments. Its core methods include the trademarked Phase Null® strategic alignment phase and a 4-phase integral planning and construction methodology, supported by BIM + LEAN digital planning, VR visualization, and emerging AI implementation.

Commercial delivery is project-based and B2B, with revenue generated across four main streams: general planning services, project development (including build-to-rent solutions via subsidiary Vollack bauInvest for clients preferring not to deploy capital), turnkey construction execution including steel construction, and renovation/modernization for energy efficiency upgrades. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is consultative and direct, anchored by the Phase Null® workshops that establish strategy, processes, and architectural-technical alignment upfront, followed by turnkey project delivery. Notable enterprise clients include Citrix, GRENKE Group, VAUDE, Atlas Copco, Berlin Recycling, and public contracting authorities such as Ortenaukreis (Landratsamt Kehl); projects routinely achieve KfW Efficiency House 40/55, Passive House, LEED Platinum, and DGNB Silver certifications, and the firm has been recognized as BIM Champion 2022 by buildingSMART and as a winner of the BIM Prize Bavaria 2025. Ownership is a partner model under Managing Directors Reinhard Blaurock, Armin Koch, and Klaus Teizer, with shareholder Jutta Kraft; the firm is structured as a GmbH & Co. KG with personally liable partner Vollack Verwaltungs GmbH.
