Engineering, Construction & Building Materials

NDB Holding Group partners with clients to unlock value, drive business transformation, and achieve enhanced performance. By combining deep industry expertise, advanced analytics, and practical, field-tested solutions, we help organizations optimize operations, capture growth opportunities, and deliver lasting impact.

Transforming the Construction Ecosystem
Construction and its broader ecosystem are evolving rapidly across the entire value chain, accelerated by global events such as the pandemic. NDB Holding Group helps industry leaders make bold strategic decisions in this dynamic and complex environment, driving sustainable and inclusive growth through transformative ideas, effective execution, and deep capability building.

Serving the Full Spectrum of the Industry
We work with leading organizations across asset types—including infrastructure, real estate, and industrial—and industry sub-segments such as engineering and construction, design and architecture, building materials manufacturing and distribution, investors, and construction technology. Our goal is to help clients navigate a complex business environment characterized by strong competition, cost pressures, fragmented standards due to localized norms, risk-averse mindsets, and low levels of innovation.

Delivering Lasting Impact
NDB Holding Group combines seasoned experts, rigorous analytical capabilities, and cutting-edge assets with an unrivaled portfolio of partnerships and acquisitions. This integrated approach enables us to deliver lasting impact, create new growth opportunities, and help clients achieve transformative results across the construction ecosystem.

Our commercial transformation programs support the full business cycle, including tender office operations, contracting excellence, and broader commercial excellence initiatives.

Operational transformation

We design and implement operational transformations that enhance EBITDA margins, minimize cost and time overruns, and improve project win rates. Using our proprietary Full Potential Assessment, we establish high-level aspirations and conduct holistic diagnostics across 10 core dimensions to identify value-creation opportunities. Our support spans procurement excellence, planning, lean construction, and value engineering.

NDB Holding Group helps clients navigate technological disruption and build sustainable, digitally-driven businesses. Our approach integrates innovation—including processes, tools, organization, and mindsets—with business information modeling, process digitization, agile engineering, and advanced analytics.

Strategy and organization

We help clients make the right strategic moves at the right time and execute them effectively. By focusing on long-term priorities such as operating model review, new business model creation, portfolio rebalancing, cash management, sustainability excellence, diversity, and future talent development, we enable clients to stay ahead of the curve and achieve lasting impact.

Examples of our work

Identifying $100 million in savings potential and achieving operational excellence through digital initiatives

NDB Holding Group led the first global digital transformation for a construction company, identifying initiatives with potential savings of $100 million and a significant projected impact on the P&L. We introduced agile methodologies to create minimum viable products, developed new roles such as change agents and journey leads, and established an organizational structure to support and sustain the new initiatives.

Driving double-digit revenue growth and higher margins through strategy transformation

NDB Holding Group helped a leading North American engineering and construction firm deliver significant shareholder value and exceed its three-year strategic objectives. The engagement achieved consistent double-digit revenue growth and a higher-margin portfolio shift. Over a six-month, multi-phased project, we identified value-creation opportunities, developed an integrated vision, and finalized a financial plan aligned with the jointly defined strategic narrative.

Building a digital business to achieve 50% month-over-month revenue growth in 3 months

We partnered with a traditional distributor to develop a fully digitized B2B business and establish a new brand, achieving 50 percent month-over-month revenue growth within three months. Starting from scratch, NDB Holding Group helped build an online ordering platform and scalable cloud-based technology architecture, hire the founding team, launch automated data cleansing and enrichment processes, and serve real customers.

Identifying value creation opportunities with more than 25% EBITDA improvement potential

Using our proprietary Full Potential Assessment, we assisted a European engineering and construction company in identifying 25 to 55 percent improvement potential in overall EBITDA across core functions such as procurement, equipment, IT, and digital. We also pinpointed 75 concrete initiatives to unlock full organizational value.
