Strategy
Smart growth for sustainable success
PORR focuses on its core competence, which is construction: we focus directly on the bottom line, not on production volumes. For us, this means smart growth.
Based on our consistent growth strategy, we have established a clear market position over the past few years. Also thanks to the cooperation with expert staff throughout the PORR Group, we are able to offer our clients a comprehensive range of services - from civil engineering to transport and civil engineering construction to special foundation work.
We promote business conduct and teamwork. In addition, clear division of responsibilities, lean flexible structures, transparent leadership and fast decision-making processes are key factors for our success. And we are intensively involved in the topics of the future in the construction industry: digitalisation and innovation. This makes us a dynamic company with strong growth potential.
DigitizationPORR on the way to a paperless construction site
Digitalisation has also come to the construction industry. Countries like the UK and the Scandinavian countries are leading the way. At PORR, we are well equipped in terms of digitalisation and we are a pioneer in Austria.
For many years now, we have been working intensively on future topics such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), paperless construction sites and the new world of work. The reason is clear: new technologies enable us to carry out construction projects faster, more efficiently, more cost-effectively and, above all, more transparently.
The future PORR 2025.
Also through the future PORR 2025 programme, PORR continues to focus on the Group's strengths and optimising the organisation's efficiency. Management structures are being streamlined, the business model is being refined and the portfolio is being selectively adjusted.
"The PORR 2025 Future Programme is the largest transformation programme in PORR's history," says Karl-Heinz Strauss, CEO of PORR.
Innovation is part of everythingwhat we do
Innovation is what makes the difference. It brings competitive advantage. Innovation has played a major role at PORR since the company's beginnings: already at the beginning of the 20th century, the inventions of civil engineer and company namesake Arthur Porr led to a major breakthrough in the field of concrete construction.
Today, the passion for innovation at PORR permeates everything we do and drives us forward every day: every single PORR employee is responsible for innovation. Their new ideas and creative concepts make PORR fit for the future. That's why we have established a central point of contact at PORR: the "Technology Management and Innovation" department. It offers advice and support to our employees from the operating companies.
The digital construction site: where design becomes reality.
At PORR, we don't just think three-dimensionally with our BiM. We have recently introduced a 5D design system: the fourth dimension concerns the time aspect and the fifth is cost. This leads to cost savings, minimized errors, shortened decision phases and better information flow. This benefits everyone involved in the project: our clients, our partners - and of course ourselves.
As we can see, investing in the future today really pays off.
