Efficient cost controlling - ISM excursion to Germany's largest construction project

The construction of a mammoth project like the Westfield ?berseequartier in Hamburg is an incredibly complex undertaking. On the excursion with lecturer Mathias Lipp from HBB (HBB Centermanagement GmbH and Co. KG), the ISM Real Estate students were able to gain an on-site impression of the challenges surrounding the planning and cost controlling of what is currently the largest construction project in Germany.

For the ISM lecturer and managing director of HBB Centermanagement GmbH and Co. KG, Mathias Lipp, it was important to raise the students' awareness of the challenges surrounding the topic of cost controlling in the real estate industry with the excursion to Westfield ?berseequartier: "From my point of view, there was nothing better for this than to take a look at the currently largest construction project in Hamburg and one of the largest in Germany and Europe live with the students." In addition to the topic of cost controlling, the future real estate experts were also able to see for themselves the advantages of VR glasses for visualizing the finished construction project. In addition, the excursion also provided an opportunity to network with industry representatives and find out about internships and career prospects.

Real Estate Management student Hoang Randy Berndt was enthusiastic about the practical insights: "The Westfield ?berseequartier is an impressive example of how an unplanned change in the project can affect costs. The project also made it clear to me how important structured and clean planning is. I was therefore very impressed by the organization of this construction site by the project's contributors."
