Consultancy
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?
- Energy requirements?
- Weighing up the priorities in the “magic triangle” of quality, costs and duration
- Definition of an objective as a benchmark for all subsequent planning phases
- Development of the evaluation criteria as expert assessors in architectural competitions
We design different variants based on the strategic objectives, we identify their advantages and disadvantages and keep on developing the preferred solution.
- Sketches of concepts drawn by hand
- Taking into account different options for materials and the construction
- Inclusion of structural and thermal loads
- Dependencies in the building structure are taken into consideration
- The physics of the building and acoustic requirements are taken into consideration
- Fire protection and smoke extraction are taken into consideration,
- Cleaning and maintenance plan, access at heights
- Outlining solutions, costs and timings
- Inclusion of existing solutions to clarify the design
- Support during the initial sampling
- Documentation in report form
- Ongoing updating or further development of the design
Priedemann develops the facade concept for planning ready for approval – taking into account all planning principles and requirements determined up to that point, e.g. the climate plan, building technology and building statics.
- Detailed hand-drawn sketches
- CAD-based layout plans and CAD-guided details
- 3-dimensional analysis of the shell of the building for complex facades
- Selection of the materials and type of facade
- Drafting of the facade plan on the basis of the building physics and acoustic specifications
- Integration of fire safety and smoke extraction plans
- Security requirements are taken into consideration
- Collaboration on the overall design so that it can be approved
- Joint design, joint width and depth in accordance with the building movements identified and relevant tolerances
- Documentation in report form
- Ongoing updating and further development of the design, cost estimate and construction scheduling
- Support in the planning and implementation of 1:1 facade samples to ensure that the design is progressing as intended, e.g. in design-and-build processes
For tendering and awarding contracts Priedemann defines and specifies the planned facades and details as well as the connections to adjacent components.
- Summary of technical requirements as well as client and user specifications for construction and materials as “Technical Preliminary Remarks”.
- Compilation of the design and additional technical criteria in coordination with the planning team
- Drafting of the service description
- Individual quantities and components are recorded
- Differentiation of the various trades when awarding contracts to different contractors, clear definition of the interfaces
- Collation of all documents in a single set of documentation
Specials
- Calculating and adjusting noise level values: We determine the noise-level values that occur locally as the basis for planning the necessary noise protection and the required noise protection values for individual rooms, taking into account the planned use. We compare the values obtained with the legal and project-specific requirements.
- Determination of the requirements for the facade components: From this we can deduce the requirements for the facade components and recommend suitable constructions and material qualities. We take into account the flank transmission over adjacent components and spaces and influence the arrangement and design of the substructure, the choice of window and glazing types as well as the selection of materials and sensible arrangement of joins
- Ambient noise level: We determine the ambient noise level and reverberation times in the room and give recommendations on sound absorption and the distribution of sound-absorbing elements and surfaces.
- Preparation of sound- and noise protection reports: We prepare sound and noise protection reports as part of the approval process.
- Evaluation of internal emissions: We evaluate the emissions of technical installations and give recommendations for compliance with the prescribed noise level values.
- Sound pressure: We define the structural conditions for the maximum permissible sound pressure level in rooms where protection is required.
- Sound absorption: We calculate the sound-absorption surfaces required and propose suitable sound-absorbing materials and surfaces as well as their positioning within the framework of a spatial concept.
Improving the intelligibility of speech: We develop ways to make speech intelligible and to avoid disturbing echoes in the room. - Improving the intelligibility of speech: We develop ways to make speech intelligible and to avoid disturbing echoes in the room.
Facades have to cleaned and maintained. What sounds trivial is a component of facade planning and maintenance, which ensures the long-term value of a project, so it should not be underestimated. Priedemann keeps operating costs low by making the logistics of maintenance and cleaning an integral part of the planning right from the start. This is not only about equipment for maintenance and cleaning, the type and design of the facade itself can make a decisive contribution. Facade solutions that do not take this into account during planning and construction make maintenance more expensive over the entire service life.
- Moving components: Facades today contain a large number of movable and electrical components. Individual components require regular maintenance. This needs to be taken into account right from the start.
- Glass: Glass can be damaged, replacing glass must be possible at any point with reasonable effort. Today, individual panes weigh several hundred kilos, floor-to-ceiling triple glazing weighs up to one ton and more. We plan the right solutions for this.
- Cleaning: Glass cleaning and the cleaning of horizontal surfaces are part of regular operating expenses. We provide simple, secure access with as little technical effort as possible. We make cleaning recommendations and create complete cleaning plans right up to the choice of cleaning agents and necessary intervals with which cleaning can be carried out most effectively.
- Facade development: We plan all facilities for the development of the facade areas, determine the loads of fall protection systems, walkways and access systems and consider the points of contact and passage through the facade to the building shell during planning.
