About us
Research Meets Construction Planning
SURAP was founded on the belief that environmental assessment in the construction industry can be an integral part of every planning process.
Our vision
Environmentally friendly buildings as the standard
When we envision the future of the real estate industry, we see resource-efficient and climate-friendly buildings. The path to achieving this involves environmental assessment using digital building models—as an integral part of every construction, renovation, and demolition plan.
We develop the tools that make this transformation possible—precise, practical, and future-proof.
