Dieter Schukraft
Founder, managing director and shareholder of schukraft pro facility management consulting gmbh in Karlsruhe. Working in construction-accompanying and strategic facility management since 1995 – for airports, stadiums, banks, data centres and hospitals.
His work focuses where construction projects get technically densest: the cross-trade coordination of doors and fire protection. For these tasks he developed pro building, his own web platform – out of project practice, not at a desk.
Career

Studied physics and psychology, graduating as a business informatician. That combination still shapes his approach: understand technical systems, read human processes, and turn both into data.
