About Sustainabim

We are engineers, not demolition contractors.

Founded in Dresden in 2025 — out of the conviction that a building that has stood for 120 years knows more about good construction than any of today’s standards.

How we work

Four principles behind every project.

01

Fabric before demolition

We first examine what can be preserved — demolition is the last option, not the first.

02

Permit certainty from day one

Heritage protection and the building authority are part of our thinking from the start, not only at submission.

03

One point of contact, every trade

Structure, energy, heritage protection and site management come together with one person — not across five interfaces.

04

Transparency on costs & risks

Risks in the existing building are named before they turn into additional claims — even when that is uncomfortable.

Team

Two disciplines, one point of contact.

A Period Building Without the Nightmare — The Renovation Code

The exact order of your renovation — so you only pay for what is really necessary and never do anything twice.

  • The three measures almost everyone tackles too early — and the condition under which they can be brought forward after all
  • The roadmap in ten steps, each with a clear “done only when”
  • Ten technical terms from contractors’ quotes, each explained in one sentence

Free. No payment details. We never pass on your address.
