DERICHSuKONERTZ Group

What DERICHSuKONERTZ Group does

DERICHS u KONERTZ Group is a fourth-generation, family-owned construction and real estate services group headquartered in Aachen, Germany. Founded in 1926 and employing 176 people across offices in Aachen, Krefeld, Köln, and Berlin, the company operates an integrated four-pillar platform covering the full property lifecycle: real estate development (Projektentwicklung GmbH), architectural and engineering planning (Planung GmbH), project management and controlling (Projektmanagement GmbH), and general contracting construction (Baugesellschaft mbH u Co. KG). Its primary market is the Metropolregion Rheinland, with secondary operations in Berlin-Brandenburg.

Revenue is generated through project-based fees across four streams: one-time construction contracts, development fees and property sales, professional services for project management, and planning contracts. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract structures; specific rates are not publicly disclosed. The customer base is dominated by public-sector and educational clients — municipalities, universities (RWTH Aachen, Hochschule Niederrhein), schools, and fire stations — with secondary enterprise demand from private developers, logistics firms (Ford), and port operators (HGK). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct relationships, partner referrals, and select industry trade shows (EXPO REAL, Polis Convention).

The company completed a full generational transition on January 1, 2026, when fourth-generation family members Maximilian Derichs-Gruber (M.Sc.) and Alexander Derichs (M.Sc. REM + CPM) became sole shareholders of the holding, with prior managing partner Dieter Laskowski retaining operational leadership of the project management subsidiary. The group marked its 100-year anniversary in February 2026. No proprietary technology, patents, AI/ML capabilities, public funding, or M&A activity is disclosed; competitive positioning rests on the integrated service model, regional density in NRW, century-old brand, and recent industry recognition (Deutscher Baupreis 2024, Schulbaupreis 2023).
