It is crucial for the success of the project that the client knows exactly what he wants. This is the first planning service or the first planning stage. Many building owners, not only private ones, already have difficulties in defining clear concepts and decisions in this planning phase. In the case of more complex projects, the client can be assisted by concept architects, project developers from within the industry or client representatives experienced in the subject matter.

For smaller or private building projects, architects slip into this role and, together with the client, develop a concrete concept that takes into account the local conditions and the available funds.

Only when the wishes have been clarified, all pros and cons have been discussed, thought through and evaluated by mutual agreement, can the architect’s actual work begin. Thus, in this “B2C” model of collaboration and planning, it is strictly speaking a dual role.

In “B2B” large-scale projects, on the other hand, planning on the customer side (vision, wishes) is often separate and contractually located on a different side from execution planning (concrete implementation), and the task can sometimes even be characterized by tendentially opposing interests.

Architecture begins in the mind!

Thorough forethought is the surest remedy for painful aftermaths. Well thought-out planning is the guarantee that the functional and financial specifications of our clients are implemented in the best possible way.

In order to successfully follow this path, we offer the following planning services as building blocks for successful project planning:

• Feasibility studies
• Consultations (responsibility structures, contract design, laws)
• Condition Analysis & Assessments (How is my property doing?)
• Property and building analyses (What should/could be achieved?)
• Object strategies, potential assessments
• Variant comparisons
• Planning strategy, pre-planning (Who has to do what?)
• Materialization concepts
• Stage-appropriate refurbishment concepts
• Input planning
• Execution and detailed planning
• 3D scan & visualizations
• Tenders (price, quality, reliability).
• Specifications for architects, specialist planners and engineers
