What DW SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION does
CONSOLIS DW SYSTEMBAU GMBH is a German manufacturer of BRESPA® prestressed precast concrete floor slabs (Spannbeton-Fertigdecken), operating from a single production facility in Schneverdingen in the Lüneburg Heath region. The company is the sole German provider of prestressed precast concrete floors with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and the first and only German manufacturer to hold a CSC Silver sustainability certification. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the CONSOLIS Group, which operates across 17 countries with approximately 7,500 employees. Nearly 50 years of continuous production have produced a portfolio of slab variants (A12M through A40V) addressing different spans, loads, and use cases including climate-ventilation and solid-slab variants.
The company's core technology is a hollow-core prestressed concrete system manufactured under controlled factory conditions, with optimized cavity geometry and controlled prestressing that uses up to 50% less concrete and 85% less steel than conventional in-situ concrete floors. BRESPA® floors are engineered for integration with HALFEN HIT balcony connections and Peikko DELTABEAM composite beams, and have been qualified for sound insulation (Rw' = 63 dB with 20cm A20Q in timber-hybrid construction), fire performance per DIN EN 1168 Annex G, and multiple green-building rating systems (DGNB, LEED, BREEAM).
DW SYSTEMBAU sells directly to general contractors, developers, architects, and structural engineers across Germany through a consultative enterprise field-sales model backed by five digital planning tools, the KONSTRUKTIV FORUM educational platform, and a network of six installation partners plus several supplementary precast-element suppliers. Revenue is generated through project-specific quotation priced per square meter. Customer segments served include residential housing, commercial and industrial buildings, parking structures, public buildings, renovation/buildings-in-existing-structures, and special architectural projects. Notable enterprise clients include HOCHTIEF, GOLDBECK, EDGE Technologies (EDGE Elbside Hamburg — 24,000 m²), GOLDBECK Nord, BKM, and Prenzlauer Welle Projektentwicklungs GmbH.
