KG, trading as Das H-Team, is a family-owned civil engineering contractor headquartered in Stadtlohn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, founded circa 1960 and now in its fourth generation of family management by Erwin and Marius Hülscher. The firm delivers five core service lines—Asphaltbau, Straßenbau, Kanal- und Tiefbau, Energieinfrastruktur, and Ingenieurbau—through owned crews and machinery to seven target segments: energy utilities and grid operators, industry and commerce, engineering and planning offices, project developers, overhead line construction companies, construction companies (subcontracted asphalt), and public clients. Headcount is approximately 171 employees with majority tenure exceeding ten years, supported by an employee co-ownership (silent partner) model.

The company's technology stack centers on digital-first construction management: 35 GPS-based 3D machine control systems deployed on excavators, graders, and bulldozers, GPS-supported surveying, digital twin workflows on major projects, paperless daily reporting with GPS-tagged photos, and PowerBI client dashboards. Since 2008 the firm has co-owned and co-developed Connect2Mobile (Baumobil), a construction-site management software platform with custom tools including asphalt calculators and digital delivery-note capture, achieving 100% digital tool adoption across the workforce.

Commercially, the firm operates an enterprise field-sales motion targeting B2B clients in NRW, with named accounts including Amprion GmbH (A-Nord 300 km IPA consortium), Polytan GmbH, K+S Minerals and Agriculture GmbH, and Lanxess Organometallics GmbH. Pricing is project-based (unit rates, lump sums, or cost-plus) on multi-year contracts ranging from small commercial works to projects exceeding €30 million. Distribution channels are direct: website inquiry, fixed segment contacts (Klaus Vennekötter for energy, Jörg Hülscher for industry, Andreas Kampmann for asphalt, Daniela Terbeck for quotes), and ARGE/IPA consortium structures for large infrastructure. Certifications span DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, AMS BAU, PQ VOB prequalification, Güteschutz Kanalbau (27 years), and WHG-Fachbetrieb; brand recognition includes Deutscher Baupreis awards (2022, 2024, jury stage 2026), Kununu Top Company (2024, 2025), New Work Award (2016), and a Creditreform bonität index of 149-154.
