Data-driven competition decisions

A competition entry may be visually and functionally compelling — yet it can still carry fundamental risks. Metabuild analyses the performance potential of each competition entry using simulation-based methods. This reveals whether construction cost, energy, comfort and CO₂ targets are realistically achievable within your defined objectives.

We are convinced that secure competition decisions today require data-driven analyses at the highest level.

For you, this means identifying risks early, making potential visible and selecting the concept that reliably brings together architecture, functionality and performance.

With Metabuild, this becomes straightforward.
Rely on 8 years of proven project experience.

5 reasons why competition decisions require Metabuild

De-risked: Metabuild minimizes decision risk in design competitions.

Without reliable performance insight, cost, energy and comfort targets remain uncertain — with potentially serious implications for budgets, operations and long-term value. Metabuild analyses competition entries using simulation-based methods and shows which concepts can realistically achieve your objectives. This helps you avoid competition decisions with lasting economic consequences.

Transparent: We bring clarity beyond presentation material.

Design competitions rarely provide a shared, objective data basis. Each entry tells its own story. Metabuild evaluates all concepts against the same KPIs — complementing architectural and urban design criteria. This makes it clear which design truly performs best in terms of operation, energy efficiency and economic viability.

Economic: We identify the best cost–value outcome — not just the most compelling presentation.

Extensive glazing, complex geometries or ambitious concepts may be visually striking, yet economically fragile. Metabuild evaluates construction costs, operating costs and lifecycle costs to show which design remains the most stable and economically attractive over time — without judging architectural quality.

Rigorous: We assess performance through high-resolution simulation — as a complement to architectural juries.

Urban and architectural quality cannot be simulated — performance can. Metabuild simulates 8,760 hours per year for each competition entry, evaluating energy use, indoor comfort and CO₂ emissions and linking these results directly to cost data. This level of depth provides a technical decision basis that design juries typically cannot deliver under competition pressure.

Strategic: We identify the concept with the strongest long-term value creation potential.

Design shapes market perception — performance determines economic outcome. Metabuild evaluates future scenarios, CO₂ costs, operating expenses and ESG pathways, enabling you to understand which concept remains viable and value-stable over time. A strong complement to architectural and functional criteria.
