YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Restoring viability in a constrained housing pipeline
- Apartment approvals fell 16.8% to 215,900 in 2024, as high financing costs and weak affordability delayed projects and restricted new housing supply.
- YCP combines demand, location and feasibility analysis to help developers reset product mixes, costs and phasing for commercially viable launches.
Securing capacity amid a tightening skilled-trades base
- Germany's construction sector employs around 2.6 million people, yet ageing trades and persistent vacancies make skilled-labour access a major delivery constraint.
- YCP converts workforce constraints into operating-model, subcontracting and productivity plans that align capacity, schedules and incentives across projects.
Turning building decarbonisation into investable plans
- Germany's building sector emitted about 100 million tonnes of CO2 in 2024, increasing pressure to renovate stock and meet energy-performance requirements.
- YCP links decarbonisation targets to portfolio roadmaps, business cases and delivery governance, helping clients prioritise investments with measurable impact.
Protecting margins through resilient sourcing and delivery
- Residential construction prices rose by around 3% in 2024, while material, energy and subcontractor volatility continued to squeeze fixed-price project margins.
- YCP strengthens cost control through should-cost analysis, procurement strategy and delivery reviews, enabling more resilient contracts and project economics.
