Understanding Building Materials
We specialize in solving unique material challenges across all construction, renovation, and maintenance projects. Rather than viewing materials in isolation, we consider them as integral parts of the entire structure. Our analyses go beyond mechanical properties to examine how materials interact with climate, soil, and surrounding components. This holistic approach ensures our solutions are structurally sound, durable, and sustainable over its entire service life. By understanding the complex interplay between materials and their environment, we deliver customized solutions that address your specific challenges and create sustainable buildings that stand the test of time.
Characterising Material
From our perspective, every building material serves a valid purpose. Materials aren't inherently superior or inferior—their value lies in application appropriate to their unique properties. This principle is especially crucial when evaluating innovative materials, where comprehensive understanding is essential. Through rigorous scientific testing and engineering analysis, we develop performance-based designs that harmonize material capabilities with project requirements, ensuring optimal outcomes for every construction challenge.

Why 59?
MaterialsPerformance59 GmbH is focussed on technology readiness levels (TRL) five to nine. This is done to focus on our business area and also to differentiate ourselves from research institutes whose partners we are.
Technology readiness levels are familiar from the aerospace industry and are often used today in the tendering process for research funding programmes. This quickly makes it clear which technological maturity level the start and end points of potential projects should have. In this context, the European Union describes the nine possible TRLs as follows:
1.
basic principles observed
2.
technology concept formulated
3.
experimental proof of concept
4.
technology validated in lab
5.
technology validated in relevant environment
6.
technology demonstrated in relevant environment
7.
system prototype demonstration in operational environment
8.
system complete and qualified
9.
actual system proven in operational environment
In this respect, MaterialsPerformance59 GmbH offers design, analysis and development services starting with materials and building material systems that have only been validated in terms of their performance and ending with commercially available, tested and approved materials and building material systems.
