Location Potential and Analysis
LAGERflaeche cooperates with logistics experts to provide customers with the best possible decisions regarding site selection and evaluation. In this way, thanks to its experts, LAGERflaeche enables its customers to identify, evaluate and visualise the full potential of locations. By working together with logistics experts, we ensure that our customers find an optimal solution that exploits the site's potential through energy efficiency, photovoltaics and digital visualisation, among other things.
Material flow and location visualisation
Visualisation can provide significant support to the sales department during a presentation to a potential new customer. Likewise, visualisation and simulation are a chance to recognise possible planning errors and to be able to react to them in time. Logistics service providers as well as industrial and trading companies belong to the broad target group of such logistical support. The term "digital factory" refers to the construction, representation and simulation techniques used to implement complex and dynamic 3D representations. These techniques, especially virtual reality (VR) technology, make it possible to depict machines and plants in a realistic virtual world. The introduction of a digital factory offers many advantages that have an impact on sales, planning and production. For example, operation becomes more economically efficient due to simple and fast operation. It also offers customers the opportunity to customise specific products and libraries, provide advice and training, and develop training programmes to present the products in a convincing way.

The term "digital factory" summarises the construction, representation and simulation techniques. Virtual reality technology (VR), i.e. the realistic dynamic 3D representation of machines and plants in a virtual world, plays an important role here.
- Economical in sales and planning due to fast and simple operation
- Use of the products throughout, from planning to simulation-based animation to 3D online process visualisation
- Customisation of products and libraries, consulting, training and education.
For individual designs of machines or special storage requirements, we can certainly offer you the right solution. Below you can see some examples of how a visualisation of your material flows or locations could look like with the help of taraVRbuilder.
Energy efficiency
Saving energy is important, and companies can take various measures to reduce energy costs. One way is to modernise and repair existing facilities. Another option is to invest in new facilities. Optimising user behaviour and plant technology and reducing costs can also play a role. Effective energy supply contracting can play an important role here. Facility management is another essential building block for efficient energy management. Energy efficiency in buildings is on everyone's lips - but the topic is seldom directly linked to warehouses, commercial buildings or logistics centres. Yet these buildings in particular offer great potential for savings, and a large part of the measures to increase the energy efficiency of buildings are very economical.

Photovoltaics
The logistics industry is called upon to make an active contribution to CO2 reduction. Solar technology secures additional income, significantly improves the CO2 balance and also demonstrates environmental responsibility. As the 3rd largest emitter, the logistics industry is nowadays required to make an active contribution to CO2 reduction. In addition, the need for "green" logistics - "Green Logistics" is becoming more and more important for end consumers when placing orders. With solar technology, you secure additional revenue, significantly improve your CO2 balance and also demonstrate environmental responsibility, which leads to a significant competitive advantage.
The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) guarantees every operator of a solar power system a fixed payment over 20 years for both fed-in and self-used electricity. The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) was revised in 2023 and the targets for 2030 were raised. for the generation of renewable energy are declared to be in the overriding public interest and to serve public safety. The expansion paths, electricity quantity paths and tender quantities for onshore wind energy and solar energy were raised. it will be possible to install two systems on a house, one for self-consumption and partial feed-in, one for full feed-in. The 70 percent rule for new installations will be dropped, as will the declaration of income from 10 kWp, which now only has to be declared for income and trade tax purposes from 30 kWp. (The kilowatt peak (kWp) is the standard unit for the maximum capacity of photovoltaic modules under optimal conditions) In addition, it will be permitted in future to set up ground-mounted systems of up to 20 kW and an area equal to that of the residential building on the plot.

Location valuation
Professional valuation of logistics real estate
The valuation of a logistics property can have various reasons and is clearly regulated by legal provisions. The most common reason is certainly the sale of a logistics property. But an independent valuation is also necessary for accounting purposes, compulsory auction, mortgaging, taxation or determining the insurance value of a logistics property. This requires, among other things, sound knowledge of business management and construction technology.
Experts can prepare a well-founded valuation based on a variety of criteria. The service package for a market value assessment includes, among other things:
- Market value assessment as a basis for decision-making for property sale and purchase
- Determination of market value for tax purposes
- Rental value appraisal for commercial properties
- Valuation of real estate encumbrances, easements, residential rights and usufruct
- Market value appraisal as a basis for accounting
It is often difficult to get a complete picture of the value and potential of one's own location. Our experts can provide a well-founded valuation based on a variety of criteria.
Why value your logistics property?
It is often impossible to get a 100% picture of the value and potential of your own location. Experts will therefore take a look at your warehouse and evaluate it using a variety of criteria.
The service package for:
- Market value assessment as a basis for decision-making for property sales and purchases
- Market value assessment for tax purposes
- Rental value appraisal for commercial properties
- Valuation of real estate encumbrances, easements, residential rights and usufruct
- Market appraisals as a basis for accounting (IFRS)
Valuing real estate means assessing the opportunities and risks of a property in a differentiated manner. To do this, one must not only understand a lot about real estate, but also develop a feeling for the needs and changes of the market.
- Professional valuation of your location with full consideration of all decisive criteria
- Value of your logistics property at the time of valuation
- Determination of the potential of your location
Roughly there are 5 steps to valuation
- Land register data
- Macro and micro situation
- Determination of the maintenance or modernisation backlog
- Determination of the areas
- Determining the value with the method applicable to the property
In Germany, there are three methods of real estate valuation for determining the value of real estate and land
- Comparative value procedure
In the comparative value method, properties or real estate with a similar value are used to determine the value (§ 13 Wertermittlungsverordnung, WertV). - Material value method
In the asset value method, the value of the buildings and the land (land value) are determined separately (§ 21 Wertermittlungsverordnung, WertV). - Income approach
The capitalised earnings method takes into account, among other things, the land value and long-term achievable rental income (§ 15 Wertermittlungsverordnung, WertV).
