Industrial Planning, Audits and Permits for Companies in Germany

INOPCO supports industrial, commercial, chemical and pharmaceutical companies as well as operators of BImSchG-regulated plants with building design, permit applications, approval procedures, structural design, audits and operational planning – in Central Germany and throughout Germany.

> 15 Years of Project Experience

Planning, audits and operational concepts for industry, chemical and pharmaceutical production, energy-intensive sites and BImSchG-regulated plants.

BUILDING DESIGN

Concept design, permit applications, BImSchG procedures, detailed design and structural engineering for industrial and commercial buildings.

AUDITS

Energy, environmental and management system audits based on ISO 50001, ISO 14001, ISO 19011 and DIN EN 16247.

OPERATIONAL PLANNING

Process, resource, space, energy and media planning for efficient, safe and future-ready operations.

Industries and Clients

Planning, audits and operational optimisation for industrial companies and regulated plant operators

Chemical, Pharmaceutical & Process Industry

We support companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical and process industries with building design, permit applications, approval procedures, audits and operational optimisation in technically and regulatory demanding environments.

Manufacturing, Commercial & Industrial Sites

For new-build, conversion and expansion projects, we develop permit-ready and execution-ready planning solutions – from concept design and building applications to the optimisation of existing operational processes.

Plant Operators & BImSchG-Regulated Facilities

We support operators of regulated facilities with BImSchG approval procedures, technical documentation, operator obligations, energy and environmental audits, and structured operational planning.

Sugar, Ethanol & Energy-Intensive Operations

For energy- and media-intensive production sites, we take an integrated view of material flows, energy use, operating costs, technical infrastructure and regulatory requirements.

Building Design

Concept design, permit applications, BImSchG procedures and detailed design

Technical ideas become permit-ready and execution-ready building projects. INOPCO supports industrial and commercial new-build, conversion and expansion projects from concept design and building permit applications to BImSchG approval procedures and detailed design – including architectural planning, structural design, steel structure design and structural calculations.

For permit applications and approval procedures in Germany, we combine authorised building design expertise with technical plant understanding, building law considerations and economic feasibility. In the early planning phase, we assess technical feasibility, approval requirements, interfaces, cost frameworks and implementation schedules. Our services include:

Conceptual design for commercial and industrial construction projects
Technical feasibility studies for new-build, conversion and extension projects
Approval planning, building applications and support with BImSchG procedures
Plant and factory design, taking into account technical processes, material flows and energy flows
Detailed design for building, steel structure and plant environment projects
Structural design including structural analysis
Steel structure design as well as formwork and reinforcement design
Tender and contract management
Project management, project control and liaison with authorities
Documentation, including project history files and project-related as-built documentation
BIM-compatible design and IFC-based data exchange

Depending on the project, we align our planning work with the relevant HOAI service phases and create a consistent planning basis from the initial concept to an execution-ready solution.

Audits

FEnergy, environmental and sustainability processes in focus

Audits, analyses and evidence-based assessments create transparency regarding the effectiveness of your energy, environmental and sustainability processes. Based on recognised standards and methods, we assess structures, workflows and key figures, identify deviations and improvement potential, and create a sound basis for compliant, efficient and sustainable improvements. Our services include:

Internal audits of energy management systems according to DIN EN ISO 50001
Energy audits according to DIN EN 16247-1, for example in the context of legal requirements and BAFA-relevant documentation
Internal audits of environmental management systems according to DIN EN ISO 14001
Management system audits based on DIN EN ISO 19011
Support for sustainability reporting in the context of CSRD and ESG requirements
Cost-benefit analyses for energy-related investments, e.g. according to DIN EN 17463 / VALERI
Life cycle analyses to assess environmental impacts
Regression analyses to evaluate energy performance indicators, influencing factors and savings potential

Operational Planning

Understand processes. Optimise operations. Secure the future.

INOPCO supports industrial and commercial companies in the integrated planning and optimisation of existing operational processes, spaces, resources and technical infrastructure. We analyse processes, interfaces, energy, media and material flows and develop viable concepts for economical, safe and future-ready operations.

The focus is on operator obligations, process quality, resource use, lifecycle costs and practical implementation during ongoing operations. This creates reliable decision-making foundations for organisational, technical and structural improvements. Our services include:

Operational and utilisation concepts, e.g. logistics, space or site concepts
Analysis and optimisation of existing operational processes
Assessment of time, material, personnel and information flows
Evaluation of operational interfaces between production, logistics, technical services, maintenance and administration
Optimisation of resource use regarding personnel, space, equipment, energy and media
Identification and allocation of energy and media consumption
Assessment of operator obligations and organisational requirements
Lifecycle and economic feasibility assessments
Benchmark analyses, SWOT analyses and root cause analyses
Development of action plans with prioritisation, implementation effort and expected impact
Support during the implementation of optimisation measures in ongoing operations
