Innovative Project Management in the Tri-Border Area
Interview with Alexander Stuchly, Managing Director of zwei-a projektmanagement gmbh
Efficient project management is essential in the construction industry to successfully implement complex construction projects. zwei-a projektmanagement gmbh specializes in the development and implementation of sustainable construction projects. With innovative solutions, regional responsibility, and many years of experience, the company ensures a smooth process from the first groundbreaking to the turnkey handover.
The two-a projektmanagement gmbh, founded in 2019 and led by Alexander Stuchly and Arnold Mangold, is a dynamic company based in Lochau, Austria. The founders bring together more than 70 years of experience in the construction industry and have quickly made a name for themselves as general contractors and project developers. Despite challenging market conditions in Western Austria, the company is on the path to success with a broad range of services and innovative approaches.
Challenges in the Market
The real estate market in Western Austria is currently facing enormous challenges. The real estate credit acceptance regulation (KIMV) imposed by the Financial Market Authority has significantly restricted the purchase of real estate by private individuals. 'The regulation aims to prevent a real estate bubble, but it results in making the purchase of real estate almost impossible due to the high requirements for equity and repayment rates,' explains Managing Director Alexander Stuchly.
The result: Many potential owners can no longer afford to buy real estate, and the market has shifted from an owner society to a tenant society. "We could have orders non-stop," continued Alexander Stuchly. "However, the clients are restricted by strict regulations." This regulation will remain in place until June next year, and until then the construction industry faces the challenge of finding creative solutions to continue to successfully complete projects and attract investors.
Innovative Construction with a Regional Focus
The strength of zwei-a projektmanagement gmbh lies not only in its many years of experience and a strong network, but also in its innovative power and regional focus. "We focus on sustainability and regional value creation," emphasizes Alexander Stuchly. The company follows the so-called 15-minute principle: The subcontractors involved in the projects are located no more than 15 minutes away from the construction site. This not only strengthens the local economy but also reduces environmental impact. Furthermore, zwei-a projektmanagement gmbh consistently utilizes environmentally friendly technologies. "We avoid fossil fuels and instead use air and geothermal heat as well as pellet systems. Rainwater retention is also an important component in our construction projects," explains Alexander Stuchly. These sustainable approaches are consistently implemented in the realization of residential complexes, neighborhood developments, and projects for third parties as a general contractor.
Digitalization as the Key to Success
In the construction sector, digitalization and modern technologies play an increasingly important role – and zwei-a projektmanagement gmbh is leading by example. "We no longer use keys, but rather chips, chip cards, or smartphones as door openers. The control of heating, sun protection, and other functions is also done via smartphone," says Alexander Stuchly. The company also utilizes Building Information Modeling (BIM) for planning and works with artificial intelligence (AI) to create equipment descriptions and prospectuses more efficiently. This technological orientation allows the company to assert itself in the highly competitive market and to act flexibly and efficiently even in large projects. "We are currently working on a residential project with 62 housing units at Lake Constance and other residential complexes," adds Alexander Stuchly. "Our digital solutions help us optimally plan and implement these projects."
Growth and Sustainability
The philosophy of zwei-a projektmanagement gmbh is characterized by optimism and a strong sense of community. "We maintain a positive corporate culture and try to remain strong together even in difficult times," explains Alexander Stuchly. Regular team events such as our own Oktoberfest strengthen employee cohesion and contribute to a good working atmosphere. Despite current market challenges, the company looks to the future with confidence. "Our goal is to be among the leading project developers and general contractors in the Lake Constance region. To achieve this, we rely on creativity, sustainability, and a strong network," emphasizes Alexander Stuchly. In addition to realizing residential projects, the company also aims to find investors to implement larger construction projects. With an annual turnover of 10 million EUR and a highly qualified team of ten employees, zwei-a projektmanagement gmbh sees itself well-equipped for further growth. "We need to pull out all the stops to continue to be successful in the future - whether it be through new projects, investors, or technological innovations," concludes Alexander Stuchly.
