Timber construction planning involves bundling complex processes and safely managing every stage of development in a timber construction project. As a single point of contact for all disciplines, we manage your timber construction project from the initial draft through to seamless implementation.
Timber construction planning – an interplay of disciplines
The planning of timber construction projects requires coordination of the following disciplines:
- Architecture – design, utilisation, spatial concept and building shell
- Structural planning/statics – structural design, dimensioning and stiffening
- Timber construction technology – material selection, construction systems, joining and production
- Building physics – thermal insulation, moisture protection, sound insulation and fire protection
- Building technology – integration of cables, systems and installations
- Construction work and erection planning – prefabrication, logistics, assembly processes and site organisation
- Construction cost planning – feasibility, material usage and execution options
- Digital planning/BIM – coordination, modelling and collision check
- Sustainability planning – life cycle assessment, resource efficiency and circular economy
Planning of timber construction projects
In timber construction planning, we combine architecture and timber construction engineering to create precise, production-ready solutions. We analyse geometries, measure out the supporting structures, define materials and connections, fine-tune fire protection and insulation concepts – and much more besides. We manage all these functions and elements within the digital model, incorporating requirements around statics, building physics and implementation from the outset. We also integrate cost estimation and construction support to ensure the project stays on budget and up to quality standards throughout the entire construction phase. On the BIM platform, we work with you to develop the plans and ensure smooth implementation.
Our services in timber construction planning
Our services encompass all the essential development steps:
- Verification of structural engineering: We provide all necessary structural verifications for timber supporting structures – in compliance with standards and tailored to the project. Our calculations form the basis for building permits, execution planning and production.
- Detailed timber construction planning: We plan and model every timber component in full using a 3D model, with both drawings and calculations. This results in detailed plans with precise connections, layers and dimensions – a reliable basis for construction and production teams.
- Cost estimate: From an early rough estimate to the final detailed calculation, we monitor cost development throughout every planning phase. This allows for informed decisions based on transparent figures – before adjustments become too costly.
- Works planning: Works planning translates the design and statics into execution-ready documents. Dimensions, connections, parts lists – everything is documented, checked and prepared for production and the construction site.
- Construction support: We actively monitor execution at every stage, serving as a point of contact for all enquiries, as the quality control function, and as a coordinator between all stakeholders. This enables us to identify deviations and take action before they become a problem.
