PWZ Munich: Total contractor model reduces risks for the public sector

The rehearsal and workshop center (PWZ) for the Bayerisches Staatsschauspiel is a flagship project for modern construction in the public sector. As a total contractor, Implenia orchestrates well over 100 different trades and suppliers to ensure maximum cost, quality and schedule reliability, thus providing an all-round carefree package for the public sector.

In future, they will be rehearsed in the new rehearsal and workshop center (PWZ):
the great tragedies, the rousing comedies and the moving dramas that the Bavarian State Theatre in Munich on its repertoire. The modern L-shaped building creates a professional environment for preparing the productions. Three rehearsal stages, decoration workshops, areas for props and the costume shop as well as a room for musical rehearsals will be created on around 21,100 square meters. The center also offers space for offices, sanitary and social rooms as well as a cafeteria.

Commissioned as total contractor

Implenia is allowed to take the lead in planning and construction. The construction services provider was commissioned with the project by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts, represented by the Regensburg State Building Authority. This means that Implenia is responsible for both the design and execution planning, the construction work including special trades such as stage and workshop construction as well as maintenance for four years for all trades (for elevator systems even over 20 years) - and thus far more than in a classic general contractor model.

Everything but ordinary

The PWZ is an extraordinary building. It is neither a classic office building nor a conventional workshop or industrial building, but a unique mixture that is completely geared towards the requirements of theater operations. At the heart of the PWZ are the three rehearsal stages, whose dimensions correspond exactly to the stages of the Residenztheater, the Marstall and the Cuvilliéstheater in Munich's city center. This 1:1 reproduction makes it possible to prepare stage sets and productions under realistic conditions.

The perfect interplay

Each step must be perfectly coordinated with the others. And it's very similar in construction and theater: perfect interaction is essential for the result. The construction work is still in full swing. The Implenia team is pulling the strings at the PWZ – with a comprehensive understanding of the project and great commitment. So that it can be 2026: Curtain up for trial operation..
