Under Construction: Starting a New Life in Germany, One Project at a Time

Two Frenchmen meet on a hotel construction site in Berlin, a pandemic breaks out on the very day they sign their company documents at the notary’s office, and a business gradually but surely makes its mark. The story of Nicolas Retournard and Anthony Isart is one of a bold gamble that paid off.

From Prague to Berlin, Nicolas Retournard and Anthony Isart turned hands-on experience in the construction industry into a true entrepreneurial journey. After working together on several projects in Germany, they founded under construction in March 2020, just before the lockdown. With no safety net, but with a strong network, Franco-German expertise and a deep understanding of the needs of expatriates, developers and investors, they built a company capable of supporting renovation projects from A to Z. Today, with nearly 300 renovated apartments and numerous large-scale projects across Germany, under construction has established itself as a trusted partner for building, renovating and investing differently.

Behind under construction lies much more than a renovation company: it is a story of expatriation, entrepreneurial boldness and bridges built between France and Germany. How did Nicolas Retournard and Anthony Isart launch their company in the middle of lockdown? Why does their model respond so well to the expectations of French-speaking clients in Germany? And how has their hands-on expertise become a real asset in the German construction market?
