About me...
Natural born craftsman...
1971 | Born into a hard working family of craftsmen in rural Bavaria, I made my first steps as entrepreneur at the age of 20.
1991 | Within one year my activities had grown from an “one-man-bucket-shop” to a 10 employee specialist in commercial data processing for clients like Siemens, DATEV, etc. and developed into a medium-sized SAP system house.
2004 | After the successful sale of my company, I joined my “sweetheart customer" Siemens IT Services in the worldwide responsibility developing new products, services and business models.
Passion for building...
2010 | Due to the fact that the construction industry has not developed any significant technical progress for decades, I started building. Curiosity, diligence, intuition and a strong technical competence are the basis of my building activities.
2015 | "Housing for people in special life situations", a highly recommended housing project, has attracted the interest of Public building authorities and social institutions. This led to substantial investment activities, with a sustainable portfolio of buildings in Bavaria, Hesse, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein.
2023 | Year of fate..!
In June 2023, the diagnosis was "parasellar mass with distress of the optic chiasm", in simple words brain tumor, with imminent blindness! At the same time, soaring building costs, inflated land prices, labyrinthine bureaucratic processes, and unfavourable financing conditions let construction industry suffer extremely. Prominent insolvencies were leaving a feeling of doom and gloom. This also offers opportunities!
2024 | „winds of change“…
After successful surgery and recovery, I decided 1st change my lifestyle and 2nd change my building system. With the management buyout of SIA Nordic Homes, an experienced timber modular construction specialist from Latvia, and the symbiotic partnership with Kaspars Senvalds, we will be able to reduce construction costs by approx. 35%, shifting 85% of value-add to prefabrication and this will make even unprofitable projects do-able again, with significantly less on-site activities, hazzle and faster deployment.

ARD / Das Erste / Schöner wohnen für Alle!
Die Flüchtlingskrise 2015 hat eine bisher ignoriertes Problem zutage befördert: Guter und bezahlbarer Wohnraum ist Mangelware. Mit seinem Pilotprojekt THE PEOPLES PROJECT hat der Unternehmer Markus Gildner gezeigt dass schnell, günstig und gut im Wohnungsbau sich nicht unbedingt widersprechen müssen.

Chicago Tribune / Graveyards aren't sacred as migration tests German housing
German landlords have been complaining for years that cumbersome regulations make it complicated and expensive to build homes. Now, with 800,000 refugees forecast to arrive this year and nowhere for them to stay, politicians are beginning to see their point.

Die Welt / Reihenhäuser für Flüchtlinge
Container sind billig, aber halten nur wenige Jahre. Warum also nicht für Flüchtlinge günstige Häuser bauen, die man Jahrzehnte nutzen kann? Erste Projekte gibt es – doch sie werden angefeindet.
