With the award of the contract, we check the contractual framework conditions as the basis for the implementation. If necessary, we adapt the technical solutions to any requirements that have changed – always with the goals of our client in mind.
- Contract review, determination of the contracted services and if necessary, developing alternative solutions
- Operational management, cost and budget audits
- Assessment of technical amendment suggested by the contracting parties, assessment of proposed modifications
- Evaluation of implementation alternatives to the approved diagrams (IFC Issued for Construction Drawings)
- Definition of the main strategic objectives as the basis for a coordinated facade design
Priedemann prepares shop drawings for the contractor of a facade project, based on the already-released design documents.
- Priedemann first checks these documents for completeness and buildability.
- In discussion with the client and design team, all design-relevant parameters are coordinated and, where necessary, adapted to the contractor’s equipment.
- The aim is fabrication-ready shop drawings.
- Priedemann prepares shop drawings and detailed information based on the released design.
- Available documents are checked for completeness and buildability, after which construction, connections, materials, finishes and installation references are developed for fabrication.
- The drawings can be updated during subsequent coordination and incorporated into agreed review processes.
- The service is primarily intended for facade contractors.
- Responsibility for fabrication and formal approval is defined for the project.
Facade material take-off and ordering documentation translate the coordinated facade design into specific information on materials, quantities, processing and allocation.
- Depending on the brief, Priedemann structures technical material data, quality criteria, cutting information, finishes, tolerances and delivery or production sequences.
- This creates a clear technical basis for procurement and production preparation.
- Content and accuracy depend on the design status, available information and agreed scope.
- Priedemann prepares material take-offs and technical ordering information from the coordinated facade design.
- Materials, qualities, dimensions, finishes and related technical data are structured and allocated to the relevant components or production lots.
- Depending on the appointment, quantities, cutting lists, optimisation information and ordering references may be included.
- The documents support procurement and production preparation.
- Ordering, supplier selection and commercial purchasing remain with the client or contractor.
Priedemann compiles production documentation for the designed facade, such as construction drawings, shop-drawing information, production and installation drawings, and structural and building-physics calculations through to material lists.
- Depending on the appointment, Priedemann also provides technical support for selected aspects of facade fabrication, supplies CAD and CAM data for computer-aided production, and accounts for the potential and capacity of the relevant production site.
- Priedemann compiles production documentation for the fabrication of facade components.
- This may include working and production drawings, material schedules, CAD or CAM data, and agreed structural and building-physics information.
- Components and data are allocated clearly to production lots and coordinated with the intended fabrication process.
- Depending on the appointment, Priedemann supports technical questions during production.
- Responsibility for fabrication and quality control of the manufactured components remains with the contractor.
Good installation planning connects the intended facade quality with a clear sequence on site.
- Priedemann considers installation and logistics sequences, assembly processes and interfaces with other trades in advance and prepares clear installation information.
- This allows elements, fixings, access and work sequences to be coordinated consistently with the planned execution.
- Priedemann prepares installation and logistics documentation for the planned facade works.
- This may include installation sequences, assembly and layout drawings, information on substructures and fixings, and drawings for integrated components.
- Elements, access, transport routes and interfaces are represented so that installation can be prepared consistently.
- The documents build on the coordinated production information.
- Site management, health and safety, and responsibility for execution remain with the responsible contractors.
