How do we work?

Reliable, deadline-compliant, and efficient.

Incorporating our experience into each project, we prioritize engaging in meaningful dialogue with project participants. Listening attentively, thinking collaboratively, and developing and implementing solutions are integral to our approach. Our perspective is one of foresight and holistic thinking. Positioned as the crucial link between planning and execution, we consider ourselves essential to the seamless integration of both phases.

In doing so, we focus on structures with meticulously planned shop drawings, regardless we are speaking of formwork, rebar or structural steel plans. Our experience indicates that the more detailed the shop drawings are, the smoother the entire construction process. Well-thought-out reinforcement layouts are crucial in today’s construction sites. Effective planning minimizes construction costs – it’s as simple as that. And this is what we offer you.

Services

 

Our core service is the creation of BIM-based shop drawings in form of formwork, rebar, structural and rough construction plans. Furthermore, we are specialized in BIM modelling of all disciplines (architecture, MEP, structure). We utilize state-of-the-art 3D software to provide you with high-quality formwork, rebar, structural as well as rough construction plans at an impressive price-performance ratio.

Quality control

A 3D modeling of all structures is considered a standard practice for us. Thanks to 3D planning, we can identify discrepancies and conflicts between disciplines early on and solve problems.

Additionally, 3D planning allows for any sectioning in the formwork, rebar and structural plans. This results in an increased level of detail in the plans and a reduction in the margin of human error.

We operate with an integral quality system: Our plans are developed by experienced engineers and reviewed by qualified project managers as part of our internal quality management. This ensures that you receive error-free formwork, rebar as well as shop drawings for your construction site.

Example
formwork plans

What are formwork plans? Formwork plans are construction drawings for concrete, reinforced concrete, and prestressed concrete structures within the scope of execution planning, illustrating the components to be formed.

These plans are created in addition to the execution drawings provided by the general planner, depicting floor plans and sections while considering the results of the structural analysis.

Openings, recesses, slots, as well as all components and built-in elements relevant to the raw construction are represented in the formwork plans. Our formwork plans assume, as a standard, a 3D modeling of the construction project. This allows for any sectioning and better control of the geometry in the plans. The 3D model serves later as the basis for accurate quantity estimation.

Basement

The basement contains essential technical building systems that serve the normal functioning of the building. In most cases, the basement also forms an underground parking garage. Issues such as water impermeability of the concrete box, built-in components, slot and breakthrough planning as well as building physics are extremely important. Furthermore, the ceiling above the basement forms a transition interface between two or more different building functions. In many cases, this results in complicated ceiling projections where the structural and technical requirements must be observed.

Formwork Underground floor

Standard floor

In the standard floors, the building’s functionality is accommodated, whether it be offices, hotels, residential, administration, or others; each functionality imparts a different character to the building. In many cases, we will use semi-prefabrication or fully prefabricated elements in order to speed up the construction process. This involves the incorporation of numerous built-in components on a modern construction site. Isolation baskets, impact sound insulating consoles, dowels, rebending boxes or rebar screw connections—all must be accurately planned in the plans.

Formwork Standard floor

Foundation

The foundations, in various types and forms, have the task of securely transmitting the building loads to the load-bearing soil. In the formwork plans, among other things, one must consider the static and structural requirements, as well as the construction processes. Important topics such as built-in components, pits and underpasses, as well as water impermeability (WTC), must be strictly taken into account here.

BIM

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is often confused with 3D planning. A detailed description of the BIM planning methodology can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_information_modeling

Thanks to BIM, we can offer you many extras, such as quantity take-off directly from the BIM model (concrete quantities, general bending steel lists according to ISO standard, concreting quantities per pour sector, etc.) with sorting according to your needs (depending on component, material, bending shape type, etc.)

With BIM, the possibilities know no bounds. We approach every request with ambition and find a solution to your problem.

Example

rebar plans

Rebar drawings are construction drawings for reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete constructions with all the information required for cutting, bending and laying the reinforcement. They are produced as part of the execution planning in accordance with BS EN ISO 3766.

The reinforcing steel bars and tendons to be installed must be clearly and concisely shown on the drawings, dimensioned and provided with installation and laying instructions.

The most important aspect here is the feasibility of the reinforcement layout under the structural and technical constraints. As our reinforcement plans are modeled in 3D as standard, constructability is checked at an early stage and corrected if necessary. In the case of complicated reinforcement nodes, we can offer a wide range of sectional views for those carrying out the work.

The quality of a design office is best recognized by successfully completed projects.

Slab & beams

Slabs should transfer vertical loads to the beams, walls and columns as well as loads from the bracing calculation to the load-bearing walls. Important issues such as fire and noise protection must be taken into account. In the reinforcement plans, topics such as punching, anchoring and overlapping of reinforcement bars, built-in parts as well as the covering of the required reinforcement quantities and checking of collisions are taken into account.

Rebar Slab Beam

Walls

The walls have a dual function in every building. On the one hand, the walls transfer the loads from the slabs to the footings. On the other hand, they serve as a stiffening element to ensure the overall rigidity of the building. In many cases, the walls are used as deep beams. In this case, special attention must be paid to the reinforcement layout.

Built-in parts are also often used for the walls to connect all the precast concrete elements. These must be taken into account in the reinforcement layout.

Rebar Wall

Columns

Columns transfer the vertical loads from the building to the foundations. When drafting the reinforcement plans, we pay close attention to the required and maximum reinforcement quantities as well as the reinforcement arrangement in connection nodes with beams.

Rebar Column

Foundation

The foundations come in various types and forms and have the task of transferring the building loads securely into the load-bearing substrate. In addition to the structural and technical requirements, important issues for the reinforcement layout include taking into account the installation parts, pits and underpasses as well as water impermeability (WTC). In addition, the construction process and construction site logistics must also be taken into account in the planning.
