Sweco has acquired 100% of the shares in PROgroup and +ImpaKT. Both agencies comprising a total of 40 experts, are based in Luxembourg. They specialise in consultancy services for project management in the fields of sustainability<\/a> and the circular economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

This strategic move marks a new milestone in Sweco\u2019s development and underscores our ambition: to become an integrated and preferred partner for every construction project with a focus on people and the environment \u2013 from the initial concept to maintenance and even the redefinition of construction works.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Too often, designers get involved before the key programme decisions have been properly thought through. We want to reverse that logic: to be present from the very first conversation with the client, to challenge the programme, to ask the right questions. We want to co-develop project programmes from the very earliest stage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The joint ambition is also to continue providing guidance after project completion. Buildings are often not used as originally intended, leading to a gap between expectations and reality. The goal is clear: to advise clients on how to align the use of their building and technical installations with their actual needs.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

We often observe a gap between the original intentions and the actual use of buildings. That\u2019s why we want to remain involved with our clients, to help them use their buildings and technical systems correctly. Advice should not end at handover.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Respond to market needs in a structured way<\/h2>\n

PROgroup\u2019s expertise in programme definition, project management, and operations perfectly complements Sweco\u2019s technical know-how. Together, they offer truly integrated project management. “Thanks to this integration, we can respond to market needs in a structured way: guiding clients with a broad, coherent vision. By working with reliable partners, we create stronger synergy between design and execution, to the client\u2019s benefit,” says Romain Poulles, Managing Director of PROgroup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The circular economy is central to this new alliance. With the integration of +ImpaKT, the ambition is clear: to embed circularity as a structural lever for both the design and operation of buildings. \u201cCircularity should no longer be reduced to the recyclability of materials. It must become a defining design criterion, from the very first project phase to the redefinition of construction works,\u201d states Jeannot Schroeder, Director of +ImpaKT<\/strong>. He continues: \u201cOur integration into Sweco gives us the leverage to increase our impact, both in Luxembourg and in other European markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

This pooling of expertise \u2013 from special techniques and project management to circularity \u2013 is built on shared values: agility and decentralised decision-making, client focus, a pursuit of excellence, and a strong emphasis on sustainability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This collaboration focuses on qualitative growth and strengthening expertise. It enables us to proactively address sector changes, better respond to local needs, and actively contribute to a sustainable transformation of the construction landscape.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
