Circular Construction

Intep – Research and Consulting for Circular Construction

intep is a research and consulting company dedicated to circular construction and sustainable building practices. Working at the intersection of science, planning, and practice, intep supports public and private clients in transforming the built environment toward a circular economy.

The company combines applied research with hands-on project consulting. Core services include advising owners, planning teams, and public authorities on integrating circular principles into building projects; analysing material flows and reuse potential; assessing embodied carbon and life-cycle impacts; and developing strategies for low-emission new builds, renovations, and deconstruction.

In addition, intep conducts studies on topics such as component reuse, resource-efficient material selection, and urban mining, and delivers workshops, tools, and guidelines that make circularity measurable and actionable for the construction sector.

Through this integrated approach, intep helps move the industry from a linear "take-make-dispose" model to a regenerative, resource-conscious practice aligned with climate goals and long-term value creation.
