At Priedemann any project starts with the determination of the planning basis, with the facts, requirements and possibilities – no matter when we start and always together with everyone involved in the project

• What is the design concept?
• Which local standards apply?
• Urban planning requirements?

The first phase after the award of the contract is of particular importance. Often some time has passed since planning and a number of changes may have occurred, the planning team has changed, user requests have been added or additional requirements are putting pressure on the budget. Priedemann checks and assesses whether all of the documents are up to date, complete, feasible and if any improvements can be made, coordinates change management and is the contact for all questions of the planning team concerning the facade.

• Checking that the documents provided are complete
• Comparison with possible project changes and updates
• Determining the status quo for the start of construction
• Checking the system components to be implemented
• Clarification of unresolved questions, communication with the planning team

• Priedemann checks and comments on the contractor’s structural assumptions as well as the performance in terms of energy and acoustics
• Checking and evaluating the contractor’s work schedule

Scale does not just changes the perspective and the proportions, only in the 1:1 model can the loads a component is exposed to be tested realistically.

Usually, mock-ups are only created after being awarded to the manufacturer of a facade. We support the planning and implementation already during the planning phase in order to ensure greater reliability of planning, design and implementation at an earlier point in time.
