About SCHOTT + PARTNER
SCHOTT + PARTNER GMBH is an independent institute for operating comparisons based in Cologne, serving around 600 companies annually from the construction and building materials industry as well as related sectors. The company understands the operating comparison not as mere statistics but as a consulting process: from a precise key figure analysis, a prioritization of concrete business management steps emerges in a personal on-site meeting. Benchmarking specialists derive the relevant key figures themselves from the operational data, thereby ensuring figure identity. The evaluations cover developments in operating results, wage and personnel costs, value added per employee, purchasing prices and productivity analyses, as well as future scenarios with alternative courses of action. All participating companies are anonymized. Comparisons are offered, among others, for construction (building, civil, road, rail and special civil engineering), precast elements and concrete products, heating-ventilation-sanitary, natural stone industry, gravel and sand pits, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt mixing plants.
