DESIGN PLANNING
Design planning is in a phaseem planning process in which a design is developed. The term is used in Germany primarily in the construction industry and is the third phase of the fee schedule for architectsand Engineers (HOAI) defined.
The design planning is carried out by architects, engineers and specialist planners. The aim is a coherent and feasible planning concept that takes into account all project-specific problems.
LPH 3 draft planning (system and integration planning)
a) Development of the draft planning, taking into account the essential connections, specifications and conditions
(e.g. urban planning, design, functional, technical, economic, ecological, social, public law) on the basis of the preliminary planning and as a basis for the further work phases and the necessary public law approvals using the contributions of other people involved in the planning .
Drawings according to the type and size of the object to the required extent and level of detail, taking into account all subject-specific requirements, for example for buildings on a scale of 1:100, for example for interiors on a scale of 1:50
until 1:20
b) Provision of the work results as a basis for the other professionals involved in the planning as well as coordination and integration of their services
c) Object description
d) Negotiations on eligibility
e) Cost calculation according to DIN 276 and comparison with the cost estimate
f) Updating the schedule

APPROVAL PLANNING/ BUILDING APPLICATION
​
A planning application is an important step in the construction of a building or renovation. It is used to obtain approval for the construction project from the responsible authorities. A carefully prepared planning application is essential to ensure that the project is approved and that it conforms to applicable codes and standards.
WEGENER ARCHITEKTEN offers professional support in preparing your building application. Our architects have many years of experience and are familiar with all applicable regulations and standards. They will work closely with you to ensure that the planning application meets your requirements and includes all the required documentation.
Our building application service includes the preparation of plans, calculations, and calculations of the living space as well as theCoordination of documents such as static calculations and energy certificates. We ensure that all required documentation is complete and correct to facilitate building project approval.
Choose WEGENER ARCHITEKTEN for your building application to ensure your project is approved and that it conforms to applicable regulations and standards. Our professional architects are at your disposal to answer your questions and help you plan your project. We guarantee that your building application will be processed quickly and efficiently so that you can implement your building project as quickly as possible.
Approval planning, also known as input planning or submission planning, is part of construction planning for the construction of buildings. It is the fourth phase of the service phases according to HOAI and includes all work to compile a building application with the aim of issuing a building permit.
Such a building application - for a building project - consists (in Germany) mostly of the following parts:
-
Input plan with floor plans, elevations and sections on a scale of 1:100
-
building application form
-
building description
-
statistical questionnaire
-
proof of thermal insulation
-
Proof of stability (static calculation, statics)
-
Official site plan for the building application, usually on a scale of 1:200 (smaller scales only for large properties)
-
if necessary, other necessary evidence and information required by the building supervisory authority for the granting of the permit.
In Germany, Austria and many other countries, approval planning may only be prepared by persons authorized to submit building documents. These are defined in the relevant building code and are usually architects or civil engineers; in individual countries, other structurally qualified specialists are entitled to submit. The approval planning serves as the basis for the implementation planning.
The basis for the approval planning is an existing draft. In the German fee schedule for architects and engineers, approval planning is considered service phase 4.
The scope of services of the input planning according to the binding HOAI does not include the additionally necessary proofs such as proof of stability, fire protection and thermal insulation. These are separate services, mostly they are provided by different planners.

EXECUTIVE PLANNING
As part of the execution planning, the previous draft planning or approval planning is worked through to the extent that the construction project can be implemented. During the planning process, there is usually an intensive exchange with experts such as engineers, product manufacturers and possibly also executing companies in order to clarify detailed questions. The focus of the implementation planning is the creation of implementation plans, usually on a larger scale (floor plans and sections in M 1:50, details from M 1:20 to M 1:1).
The aim of the implementation planning is a set of plans that is released for construction. As a rule, each individual plan is given an individual plan number.
The implementation planning is a prerequisite for the quantity determination (construction-speak: quantity determination) and thus serves to prepare the award. When billing the construction work, the execution plans are used as billing plans (measurement plans) for the measurements and the associated quantity determination.
The execution plans contain all the information required for the construction or conversion of the structure. These are, for example, dimensions, material information, information on quality and condition, tolerances and processing instructions. Written instructions in tabular form may also form part of the implementation planning. Examples of this are door lists to describe all required doors. A parts list is not created.
In the case of trades that carry out prefabrication in stationary companies, the execution planning is usually followed by workshop planning or assembly planning. Steel construction is a typical example of this.
In the German fee schedule for architects and engineers (HOAI), the implementation planning is considered to be service phase 5. In the traditional building organization, the implementation planning is carried out by the architect (execution plan and expansion plans), civil engineers (structural planning, formwork plan, reinforcement plan) and specialist engineers (e.g. electrical planning or HLS planning, ie planning for heating, ventilation and sanitation). In the case of turnkey construction, the total contractor or total transferee (also often referred to as general contractor) is usually commissioned with the implementation planning, who then creates some of this himself or has it created by specialist engineers.
LPH 5 implementation planning
a) Development of the implementation planning with all the individual information required for the implementation (graphics and text) on the basis of the draft and approval planning up to the implementation-ready solution, as the basis for the further work phases
b) Implementation, detail and construction drawings according to the type and size of the object to the required extent and level of detail, taking into account all subject-specific requirements, for example buildings on a scale of 1:50 to 1:1, for example for interiors on a scale of 1:20
up to 1:1
c) Providing the work results as a basis for the other professionals involved in the planning, as well as coordinating and integrating their services
d) Updating the schedule
e) Updating of the execution planning due to the trade-oriented processing during the object execution
f) Checking the necessary assembly plans for the building constructions and building construction installations planned by the property planner for compliance with the execution plan

VISUALIZATION
In architecture and interior design, the term visualization describes the pictorial representation of a planned building or an urban planning situation. The visualization replaces technical drawings, which are often difficult to read for laypeople.
BIM - Building Information Modeling
The term Building Information Modeling (BIM) describes a method of optimized planning, execution and management of buildings with the help of software. All relevant building data is digitally modeled, combined and recorded. The building is also visualized geometrically as a virtual building model (computer model). Building information modeling is used both in the construction industry for construction planning and construction (architecture, engineering, building services) and in facility management.
We work with the CAD programs Nemetschek Allplan and Trimble Sketchup.
