Eike Becker is an architect and one of the co-authors of the pamphlet "Es ist höchste Zeit" (It's high time), which was presented in March 2023 and denounces grievances in the real estate industry. The conclusion was: The real estate industry must change quickly and radically - in its thinking and in its actions. And that also applies to the construction industry, as Becker emphasizes. His article in the ABZ is intended to stimulate discussion.

An appeal to results-based pragmatism with less mechanical technology but smartphone-assisted user accountability.

In the crisis, major parts of the industry are in danger of disappearing, explains Eike Becker, architect and co-author of the ZIA Innovation Think Tanks' polemic "Es ist höchste Zeit". He calls on the industry to give up its victim mentality and seek constructive dispute. Eike Becker.

"The revitalization of LUXWERK is a chance-rich opportunity to fill a historic commercial site with new life, to provide a home for workers and residents alike, and to create new ties to an old Berlin neighborhood."

On German craftsmanship and maintaining a competitive edge: In his editorial column, Charles Kingston comments on "Craftsmanship", the most recent issue of The Column written by Eike Becker.

It is inexplicable to me that people simply stand by and watch the good craft enterprises disappear bit by bit, and with them a great deal of the knowledge and skills of good construction are lost.

„It’s important to develop understanding for each other“

The intention is to develop and realise an office building with commercial use on the ground floor and an underground car park on the property at Strahlenbergerstraße 123.

The construction site for our hotel building on the corner of Bundesallee and Hohenzollerndamm is moving towards the home stretch.

The building is visited in the final phase of construction, shortly before completion and handover to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
