FAQ - Frequently asked questions & answers

In the first step, the project requirements and the scope of the project are discussed, agreed and defined together with the client or the client's representatives in the kick-off process. After this step, it is decided by mutual agreement whether a project plan will be implemented in accordance with the HOAI service specifications or a consulting and service contract tailored to the project.

Once the planning has been finalised in the sense of an engineering office, the documents are handed over to the executing companies for tendering and the project can be implemented once the executing company has been commissioned.

We have the relevant technical expertise and many years of experience in troubleshooting. Please make an appointment for a kick-off meeting so that the objectives can be defined and we can help you.

In principle, remuneration is based on the commissioned service phases in accordance with HOAI. Depending on the scope of the project or order, billing is also possible according to actual expenditure.

Experience has shown that the underlying project planning or LPH 5 implementation planning is in a state that cannot be transferred to the W+M due to open or not yet finally resolved issues. In such cases, an LPH 5 planning adjustment will be necessary. In the case of complex projects and tasks (conversion in existing buildings, conversion during ongoing operation), experience has shown that planning during construction will be necessary. Please make an appointment so that we can help you.

TGA planning (technical building equipment) comprises the specialist areas/trades of heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, sanitation, fire extinguishing/sprinklers, electrical engineering, building automation and security and information technology

It should be integrated as early as possible (ideally from project conception or service phase 1 - basic evaluation) in order to create the necessary space requirements in technical centres and for shafts in the building.

Specialist planning ensures compliance with legal requirements and the recognised rules of technology, increases efficiency and optimises ongoing operating costs.

Coordinated and future-orientated planning relies on renewable energy sources (photovoltaics, solar, geothermal) and low-tech approaches to reduce the CO2 footprint.

Regardless of new construction projects or refurbishments of existing systems, ease of maintenance (easy access to operating equipment), interface management (clarification of transitions between building, supporting structure and technology) and future-proofing (flexibility for future system expansions and conversions) are the quality features of technical building services planning.

Milestones are important and clearly defined points in a project process at which a key stage is completed or essential results are achieved.
With our many years of experience in project management and as troubleshooters, we define the milestones individually according to your project and its scope.

Local construction supervision independently monitors and supervises the interests of the client on the construction site on a daily basis during the course of project realisation/execution.
We take over the ÖBA for the following trades and specialist areas:

• Heating technology
• Air conditioning
• Refrigeration technology
• Ventilation technology
• Gas and sanitary technology
• Extinguishing technology
• Electrical and safety engineering
• Measurement and control technology

In specialist construction management, the interests of the client are independently controlled and monitored during the course of project realisation/execution in accordance with the progress of work on the construction site.
Depending on the project, requirements or customer wishes, it is also possible to be commissioned as a specialist site manager on defined and recurring weekdays.
We take on the specialist construction management for the following trades and specialist areas:

• Heating technology
• Air conditioning
• Refrigeration technology
• Ventilation technology
• Gas and sanitary technology
• Extinguishing technology
• Electrical and safety engineering
• Measurement and control technology
• Commissioning and acceptance processes

Technical property management includes the inspection and maintenance of the technical building equipment. It also includes updating the as-built documentation if changes or extensions have been made to the technical systems.

This requires an on-site survey of the system. Depending on the size of the system, the depth and scope of the work must be agreed and defined. Please make an appointment for a kick-off meeting so that we can help you.

With the as-built documentation of the inefficient system or system sections, points are defined at which periodic load and energy flow measurements are set up and recorded. This information is stored in a dynamic system or building simulation and the optimisation process is started.

As a private individual (plaintiff or defendant) or lawyer: We will be happy to prepare a private expert opinion for your ongoing legal proceedings.

As a private individual (plaintiff or defendant), lawyer or insurer: We will be happy to prepare a private expert opinion for you for your ongoing legal proceedings in an insurance case.

With our many years of experience as a TGA planner in combination with our consulting activities for installation and construction companies, we can put your existing planning through its paces.
