Design and construction — coordinated by one partner.
Would you like us to help organise construction as well as design? We introduce a suitable construction company and support the collaboration, with clearly separate contracts and coordinated delivery.
Discuss design and construction together
For design: one contract with us
Die Planungsgruppe undertakes all the agreed design. We deliver the core disciplines in house. We appoint and coordinate any further specialist designers required as part of the integrated design.
You agree the design scope, design costs and deadlines with us in a contract for work and services.
Client ↔ Die Planungsgruppe
One contract for work and services covering all the agreed design.
For construction: a direct contract with the construction company
On request, we introduce a construction company suited to your project. You enter into the construction contract directly with that company. It is your contractual partner for the agreed construction services.
Client ↔ Construction company
A direct construction contract for carrying out the building work.
Our role during construction
Centralise communication
We carry out the agreed coordination with the construction company and bring design queries to the relevant specialist disciplines.
Coordinate design and construction
We coordinate collaboration between the design team and the construction company so that design stages, requirements and outstanding questions are addressed together.
Support delivery
We support construction within the agreed scope of services and remain your central point of contact for those services.
Supervise construction
We undertake the agreed professional monitoring of the construction work. We agree the content and scope of construction supervision with you in advance.
More about construction supervision
A coordinated overall solution with clear responsibilities
You receive a coherently organised solution for design and construction. Contractual responsibilities remain clear: we provide integrated design, and the construction company carries out the building work.
The fixed design costs in our contract for work and services are not a lump-sum price for all construction services. The construction company’s services, prices and deadlines are agreed in the direct construction contract.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to find a construction company myself?
Not if you would like our support. We introduce a suitable company for your project and agree the arrangements for working together with you.
Can I involve a company I have already selected?
Please speak to us about it. Together, we establish how to organise the collaboration and the support services we would provide.
Do I sign a single contract for design and construction?
No. You enter into one contract with us for all the agreed design. The construction contract is directly between you and the construction company.
Who answers design questions on site?
Within our agreed coordination and support services, we centralise design communication and coordinate queries with the specialist designers involved.
