success is in the detail

PLANNING AND DESIGN

With more than 100 staff, the Planning and Design Division covers every discipline in the field of building design. Projects can thus be developed, optimised and finalised for implementation in conjunction with the client. At the same time, early consideration is given to architectural requirements, structural design and technical building systems.

The result is an optimal, sustainable combination of design, functionality and quality.

Focus on the client

Project development

Needs assessment
Site analysis
Location/site selection support on construction issues such as:

   – soil properties / foundations
   – drainage
   – earthmoving
   – site requirements

Development of client-defined building concepts taking account of:

   – local boundary conditions
   – business processes
   – cost-effectiveness
   – budget guidelines
   – timetabling

Participation in talks with authorities
