Construction references verifiable, with a signature.

Skyline Bau references: from the contractor that did the work — not from a middleman.

This page lists references that we can prove. Each comes with the client, the period, the scope of work and the original document to view and download. Anything we cannot prove does not appear here.

Construction companies like to advertise projects they are supposed to have been involved in. We only name contracts for which a client has confirmed in writing that we carried out the work – and we put the document right next to it. You can read and download it here.

Work carried out

  • Drywall work
  • Painting and filling work
  • Floor upgrading
  • Tiling and carpet work
  • Electrical installations — a regulated trade under § 94 no. 16 GewO (Austrian Trade Regulation Act), carried out by a licensed partner firm

What the client confirms

The reference letter certifies high-quality workmanship, completed within the time constraints and in a cost-effective manner. It highlights the short lines of communication, which made it possible to respond flexibly and quickly so that the deadlines of the building owner, the Republic of Austria, were not put at risk, as well as the cooperation with the other trades. The client gives a recommendation. The full letter is available below.

Reference letter from W+R Schirmungstechnik GmbH dated 17.10.2022 concerning the renovation of the Austrian Parliament Building in Vienna, 2nd basement level, carried out by Skyline Bau

What this proves

A building site in a property of the Republic of Austria means security requirements, access controls, tight time windows and an acceptance inspection that lets nothing slip through. A firm that finishes on schedule under these conditions will also work cleanly, and with proper advance notice, in an occupied apartment block (Zinshaus).

And what it does not prove

We were a subcontractor for a clearly defined area on the 2nd basement level, not the general contractor for the renovation of Parliament. The reference letter comes from W+R Schirmungstechnik GmbH as our client, not from the Republic of Austria. We state this distinction explicitly because others like to leave it out.


Ongoing and completed contracts

Not every client issues a reference letter, and not every client wishes to be named. On request, we provide information about the following areas and, where clients permit it, give you specific contact persons:

Drywall in special-purpose buildings

Drywall work as a subcontractor for general contractors, including in a care home in Vienna's 10th district. Measurement under ÖNORM, our own site management, sections completed to fixed deadlines.

Tenement building renovation

Renovation of occupied buildings for owners and property managers: risers, façade, roof, communal areas, carried out section by section.

Flat renovation

Complete renovations and gut renovations of flats in period buildings for private clients, landlords and investors, from stripping out to handover.

Commercial properties

Fit-out and renovation while business continues, with work in the evenings and at weekends and dust protection to the areas that remain open.

Why we present references this way

In the Viennese construction industry, it is common for websites to list projects in which a firm was somehow involved – sometimes as a supplier, sometimes not at all. Anyone who asks for proof when obtaining a quotation then gets none. We do things differently: this page shows what a client has confirmed in writing, together with the document. If you need a contact person for a particular area, just ask – where the client agrees, we will name them.

Frequently asked questions about our references

Was Skyline Bau the general contractor for the renovation of Parliament?
No. We were a subcontractor for work on the 2nd basement level, commissioned by W+R Schirmungstechnik GmbH. The building owner was the Republic of Austria; the overall contract was not ours.
Who issued the reference letter?
W+R Schirmungstechnik GmbH, as our client, dated 17.10.2022. It can be viewed in full and downloaded on this page.
What work was carried out there?
Drywall, painting and filling work, floor upgrading, and tiling and carpet work. The electrical installations are a regulated trade under § 94 no. 16 GewO and were carried out by a licensed partner firm.
Can I get further references?
Yes, on request and relevant to your project. Where clients agree to be named, we pass on contact persons. Where they do not, we tell you so – rather than naming a project without consent.
Why aren't more projects listed here?
Because only what can be proven is listed here. A long list without evidence is easy to write and worth nothing. We will expand this page as soon as further clients agree to publication.
Will I receive documentation for my own building project?
Yes: photo documentation before walls and floors are closed up, waste disposal certificates, measurement records for screed and drying, pressure test reports for plumbing, and the acceptance record under ÖNORM B 2110. These documents form part of the handover.
How are projects secured?
Through construction liability insurance with €3 million cover, a pre-construction condition survey to preserve evidence, and acceptance under ÖNORM B 2110.
How do I check a trade licence?
Search for the company name in the public trade information system GISA. It shows which trades are currently registered. Master builder services require the licence under § 94 no. 5 GewO, electrical work requires no. 16, and gas and plumbing require no. 25. It takes thirty seconds and applies to every provider.
