(Service phases 1 to 8 in accordance with the German honorarium regulations for architects and engineers ‘’HOAI’’)
For your upcoming design and construction projects, we offer a professional team for the handling of all architectural service phases in accordance with the German ‘’HOAI’’ regulations.
In developing innovative and sustainable solutions for your design and construction projects, we use the BIM (Building Information Modelling) based methodology state-of-the-art software such as Revit, Enscape and AVA California (Tendering, Contracting and Billing). This not only enables accurate planning and visualisation, but also facilitates an effective communication between all the project stakeholders.
Our long-standing and highly qualified staff bring extensive experience and creative expertise to every project. We pride ourselves on creating customised architectural solutions that meet your individual requirements and visions. From the initial idea to completion, we stand by you as a reliable partner and ensure smooth project execution.
Here you will find more information about Building Information Modeling.
We offer professional site supervision and construction management as an individual service or in conjunction with other service phases. Our experienced staff ensure smooth running of the project during the construction phase and that all the client’s requirements are met. Project supervision includes the permanent control and monitoring of the construction progress as well as the documentation of the work. We regularly check the quality of the work carried out and ensure that all regulations and standards are complied with. In addition, we take care of the organisation and coordination of all parties involved in the construction project as well as the auditing of invoices and keep our clients up to date on all issues.
We enable transparent and goal-oriented project coordination and execution through lean construction management. Additionally, we achieve an interface with our BIM planning and BIM management by setting up our construction site in an agile and digital manner with the use of various software.
As a general planner, we coordinate and steer the planning processes of all disciplines from a point. This enables us to offer complete support from the initial idea to the completion of the project. We cooperate with long-standing partners in various fields such as structural engineering, building services engineering, electrical planning, fire protection and building physics.
By working with these experienced partners, we offer general planning that covers all important aspects of the building project. We develop customised concepts that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. In doing so, we place great emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency to provide environmentally friendly and future-proof solutions.
Through ensuring that all project stakeholders and specialist work together efficiently and that all steps of the construction process are seamlessly coordinated, we minimise potential delays and cost overruns and ensure that everything runs smoothly. With the application of modern project management tools and methods, we keep track of schedules, costs, and resources, which in turn assist us in reacting proactively to any problems.
We attach a great importance to clear and transparent communication. Throughout the project, we keep you regularly informed of progress and are available to answer questions and concerns. We understand that every construction project is unique, hence we adapt our project management to individual requirements and goals.
Our goal is to provide you with a stress-free and effective implementation of your construction project. We take the burden of project coordination off your shoulders so you can focus on other paramount tasks.
LEAN is a method to minimise waste in projects and maximise efficiency. This is achieved by closely examining and optimising the processes in the construction project.
We work closely with you to develop the goals of the project in respect to the client’s vision and adapt the processes accordingly. Through a collaborative process, all stakeholders are brought together to achieve the optimised value creation process. We hold regular meetings to monitor the progress of the project and ensure that the processes are transparent, and all stakeholders are on the same page. This leads to better communication and collaboration and a strengthening of the team spirit.
By applying lean construction management, we can ensure the implementation of construction project remain within schedule and of high quality.
The ‘’Last Planner System’’ LPS has proven to be a very suitable LEAN tool. A short-cycle detailed production planning system that was developed mainly for the construction industry. It is divided into 4 processing areas:
– Overall process analysis
– Milestone phase plan
– 6 weeks preview
– Weekly evaluation / jourfixes
The individual processes/tasks are drawn up jointly by each individual participant (specialized planners/craft) on a post-it, according to the pull principle from right to left. This helps in visualising the processes, procedures, and dependencies. These tasks are validated, coordinated, and fixed in regular Lean meetings. An evaluation of the commitments made, and their fulfilment is presented by means of key performance Indicator, which are constantly optimised.
We see the design of the interior space of a building in a similar way to the exterior architecture and that a well-designed interior is not only aesthetically pleasing but also helps to improve the well-being of the occupants and users.
We work closely with you to understand your wishes and requirements and develop a concept that is tailored to your individual needs. We advise you on the choice of materials, colours and furniture, and help you create a harmonious and functional environment.
Lighting, acoustics, and ventilation are also aspects we consider in ensuring that the interior space promote users’ health.
The design of modern working environments for your company is our core competence in office building design and construction. The changing requirements and wishes of employees, such as lounges, quiet zones, think tanks, shared desks, but also a work-life balance, must be respected and defined and implemented accordingly.
Safety and health coordination in accordance with RAB30 (regulations of the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) is an essential part of any construction project. It serves to ensure the health and safety of all those involved in the construction project. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the building owner is obliged to comply with the safety standards on the construction site. If the client is not personally able to take over the monitoring function, there is the possibility to appoint a safety and health coordinator.
We attach great importance to a comprehensive implementation of the safety and health organisation. We ensure that all necessary measures are planned prior construction and continuously monitored during construction.
Hence, we train all those involved in the work and carry out regular on-site inspections. In addition, we contact the authorities as well as BGBau (Employer’s Liability Insurance Association for the Construction industry) and notify the construction measures in good time. From the start of the project, we advise you, your architects and specialist planners on safety-related topics like roof safety. While at the end of your construction project, we handover the full documentation for subsequent work with corresponding safety instructions to you.
By integrating health and safety coordination into the planning process at an early stage, potential risks can be identified and minimised. Our experience and expertise in the RAB30 safety regulations guarantee safe and healthy construction that meets the high standards of quality and safety.
Roof renovation and roof safety are important issues that should be considered by every building owner. As the operator of a property and facility, you have an obligation to safely construct and provide maintenance areas and fall hazard areas on roof surfaces. In addition, a regular roof inspection can identify and prevent potential hazards before they become major problems.
A risk assessment is an important step in the inspection of the roof. This involves examining the roof for potential hazards, such as faulty construction, worn materials or lack of maintenance. Once these hazards have been identified, a catalogue of measures can be drawn up to eliminate or minimise them.
A catalogue of measures includes a list of steps to be taken to improve roof safety. This may involve replacing damaged materials, repairing structures, or carrying out missing maintenance.
As part of this, we also look at energy efficient solutions by improving roof insulation or using sustainable technologies. Our many years of experience make us your specialist for planning, coordinating, and implementing these measures.
Based on the AGI (German’s Industrial Building Consortium) worksheet B13, you receive a fully comprehensive package for roof safety. Our managing director, Mr Karlheinz Härle, is active in the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Industriebau e.V.” (AGI) in the industrial roofs working group and is committed to the development and creation of this worksheet.
We are your reliable partner for professional technical due diligence. As an experienced team of architects, engineers, and technical experts, we offer you comprehensive services to carry out technical reviews and valuations of real estate. Our aim is to provide you with a sound basis for decision-making when it comes to buying, selling, or valuing a property.
Technical due diligence is an essential part of the real estate investment process. We conduct thorough investigations to assess the structural condition, technical equipment, and long-term sustainability of a property. Our expertise covers various aspects such as building structure, electrics, plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, fire protection, energy efficiency and much more.
Our assessments are based on extensive analyses, on-site inspections, and a careful review of the relevant documentation. This includes the examination of the building permit, the building description, and the subsoil expertise as well as the examination of all planning documents. We identify both the completeness of the documents and possible risks, deficiencies or weak points and provide you with clear and comprehensible recommendations for measures to remedy or improve them. This gives you a comprehensive picture of the condition of the property and enables you to make informed decisions.
Preventive fire protection is an essential part of every construction project. A distinction is made between fire protection required by building regulations and property protection. While fire protection under building law defines the requirements of the legislator – for example in approval procedures, changes of use or following fire prevention inspections – property protection focuses on the economic implementation of insurance requirements in the interests of the customer.
With our team of specialist planners, construction managers and experts, we offer you the entire range of services from service phases 1 to 8 in accordance with AHO Booklet 17. Thanks to our many years of experience in architecture and civil engineering, we ensure that fire protection is planned in line with feasibility and user requirements – both for existing properties and new builds.
We attach great importance to integrating fire protection into the planning at an early stage so that only necessary and economically viable measures are taken.
In addition, we examine occupational health and safety issues in accordance with ASR and create fire water retention concepts in accordance with AwSV. As a member of the fire protection working group of the Chamber of Architects and Engineers and through regular participation in congresses and training courses, we guarantee you high quality and safety.
Master planning is a comprehensive and strategic approach to the design of spatial environments. It extends beyond individual building projects and develops entire neighbourhoods and areas. Our specialised master planning for your business is key to preparing your site for a successful and sustainable future. We understand the unique requirements and challenges that businesses face in an ever-changing world. For example, this is not just about aesthetic design, but also about the sensible and sustainable use of resources and consideration of long-term development goals. Our approach to master planning is characterised by creativity, innovation, and an understanding of your wishes as well as the needs of the user and operator. We work with you to develop a strategic direction as a guide for your business process. Furthermore, we conduct an analysis of the planned area to identify and evaluate the potentials and challenges as well as to consider economic aspects. We carry out the master planning in close cooperation with you, the authorities, and other stakeholders to meet the expectations of all parties involved.
A feasibility study is the crucial first step in the planning and development of your building project which allows you to look at the feasibility of your project from different perspectives. This saves you time, money, and resources by identifying potential problems early on and developing solutions.
Among other things, we check the local legal building regulations, and the economic viability is the focus of our analysis. Therefore, we prepare a detailed cost analysis that covers all aspects of your project. This creates the basis for long-term success and profitability. Technical feasibility is another key aspect that we carefully examine. We assess in detail the technical feasibility of your project, including the feasibility of construction, infrastructure, and energy efficiency. In doing so, we integrate environmentally friendly solutions and sustainable technologies. We then identify potential risks and challenges that could arise during the project and develop risk mitigation strategies.
Based on our findings, we provide you with clear recommendations for action so that you can make an informed decision about the implementation of your project.
