Project planning

Thorough project development planning reduces the total cost of investment and improves the quality of the end result, whether the project involves new construction, renovation, or an industrial investment.

Our project management consultants have deep expertise in property and industrial projects. They help define the functional, financial and environmental objectives of your investment and turn your ideas into a well-founded project plan that supports clear and confident decision-making.

Listening to the client and drawing on experience is at the core of what we do. We ensure your objectives are reflected in the project plan in a concrete and optimal way.

“Careful definition of quality requirements in the planning phase sets the direction for the entire project outcome.”

Comprehesive project plan

Our project planning streamlines and accelerates the next phases of your project, detailed design, planning permission processes, construction documentation, and implementation. The development plan defines the key quality and cost-related objectives and characteristics for the building’s entire lifecycle.

We help you establish clear targets for project costs, lifecycle costs, and environmental responsibility, whether that involves carbon footprint reduction, circular economy principles, or environmental certifications.

Our project management consultants clearly, precisely, and comprehensively outline the implementation and design objectives in the project plan. This ensures that all boundary conditions, related to quality, functionality, schedule, and cost, guide the design process effectively and are realised in the project.
We also support you in identifying the most suitable project delivery method.

Collaborative and user-oriented approach

We define functional and technical objectives in close collaboration with the property owner and end users. User needs are identified through participatory methods, such as co-creation workshops.

The development plan outlines the required design disciplines and applicable quality standards. The planning process also includes evaluating alternatives, for example, regarding structural and building services engineering systems.

Phasing, scheduling and cost estimation

Project plan defines the boundary conditions for construction implementation. In addition to assessing the buildability of the site and the impact of local planning regulations, we identify all permits and regulatory requirements associated with the project.

The project schedule outlines each project phase, its estimated duration, and timeline.

The plan also includes a preliminary cost estimate. Typically, this is produced using the target price method and is based on the space programme and quality specifications.
