Architecture - Planning

Architecture & Planning

We design, plan, and realize your projects holistically, from the concept sketch to the handover of keys.

Inventory in 2D and 3D

Do you want to build on an empty plot? Are there existing older objects on the property?We create the basis for your future project. This includes inventories of the property or building for construction and planning. On request, you will receive the surveys as a 2D or 3D plan. We also digitize existing paper plans and can process them as a 3D model.

Planning of all SIA phases

You will be optimally informed and supported by our specialists throughout the entire project planning. The SIA (Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects) phases are based on the time required and the basic services of the individual phases and sub-phases. This includes, for example, analysis, concept development and design options, building application and building permit, tendering, detailed planning, execution planning, construction management, concept development, materialization/color concepts, and effective implementation/realization.

Thus, your future project can be gradually designed, planned, and realized.It begins with strategic planning. Together with you, we define your needs, goals, framework conditions, and solution strategies.

The second step would then be the feasibility study, where you receive a dossier with the most important information. As the word feasibility already mentions, we check what is "feasible" for the suitable plot of land. You will receive several variations and suggestions for your project.In the third planning phase, we then look at the conception and economic viability, the project and costs, as well as the permits, the approval of the construction loan, and further deadlines.In the fourth step, we award the contract to the contractors.After that, we enter the execution phase, which continues until the end of commissioning. Construction physically begins and is completed after an agreed construction period. Unfortunately, nowadays, one must also expect delays. Here we strive, in close communication with the companies, to adhere to all deadlines as well as possible. Any delays will be communicated.The manager commits to managing the building after construction and maintaining it for the defined period.

What is BIM and why is it used?

BIM – Building Information Modeling, describes the networked planning, construction and management of buildings. The individual building elements are not only displayed in 3D, but also stored with all information, such as in which room, what color and material it has and how much it costs. All plans, sections and lists of components are then generated from the BIM model. A lot of time is also saved in planning by automatically adjusting elements in all plans when changes are made.

One can also search and filter the BIM models to display certain elements, such as all load-bearing or non-load-bearing walls, or changes from the last planning status. Furthermore, BIM can be used to present analyses and simulations. For example, for structural calculations, energy simulations, or light and shadow studies. Even after the building is completed, the BIM model can help with management. For example, in the event of a broken window, the caretaker can quickly check where which window was installed and what the exact information is so that he can order the same product. The tedious searching through documents is thus a thing of the past.

General-Planning

We will accompany you throughout the entire planning and coordination of the project. We also commit to providing you with the necessary professional advice. It is important for us to guarantee you complete transparency.

Total-Venture

We would like to simplify construction for you and save you a lot of extra time. You should not have to worry about future invoices, plans, offers, appointments, and contractors. As a helping hand, we take all these worries off your shoulders and organize your project from A to Z. During this time, you will only have one contact person.
