Five residential units and 530 square meters of living space: These are the key data for an apartment building in Sankt Pölten that celebrated its rooftop ceremony this week.
What’s special: The house was built – mostly independently – by twelve apprentices from the Strabag construction company between the first and fourth year of their apprenticeship. The trainees were on duty in the Lower Austrian capital from mid-January to the beginning of March. They cut around 3,500 bricks, brought in 7,480 kilograms of reinforcing iron and completed the shell in eight weeks.
“The team spirit with the other apprentices was my absolute highlight of the project,” says Sven Krondorfer, member of the construction team. The biggest challenge was reading the reinforcement plan and laying the iron.
Meeting at the corporate headquarters
In the future, Austria’s largest construction company wants to implement such apprentice projects more often, especially in the winter months. It’s not just about shortening the practical break for young employees, but also about providing new learning impulses. “This house not only shows how much we can trust our apprentices, but also how well our training is organized,” says Strabag board member Alfred Watzl. A meeting at the company headquarters in Vienna rounded off the project.
