Services

The four pillars of integrated planning

All our services at pde are built on our four pillars of integrated planning: planning, sustainability, BIM and LEAN. Our activities are not carried out in isolation – we take an integrated view of our projects, which, combined with our longstanding experience in traditional general planning and a far-reaching, visionary outlook, enables us to offer resource-friendly planning and expert consultation at every level – even if you’ve only started sketching ideas.

Planning

Our approach is founded on LEAN Design methodology and equal collaboration between our closely integrated teams. Our services span the full range: we’ll take responsibility for specialist planning in specific technical sections, optimise your existing building plans, or handle the complete general planning to meet your requirements. When you reach work stage 3, we’ll also be happy to compile cost estimates based on current markets and support your project during the construction stage.

Sustainability

We understand our responsibility towards our planet and want to play our part. That’s why we design sustainable buildings that will meet the full spectrum of economic, ecological and social requirements throughout their lifecycle – and even beyond. We can offer you advice about relevant building certifications, optimise your scheme and plan a resource-friendly building with a sustainable carbon footprint. We will also be happy to review your ideas and suggest new, alternative approaches.

BIM

Building information modelling is an optimised digital process that can be used for construction projects from the planning stage onwards. All participants in the project work on one shared intelligent building data model. Here at pde, BIM is not just about planning: as well as throughout our planning department, we use the model during the construction stage and even when the building is in operation. That way, we can ensure frictionless project coordination at all stages.

LEAN

If we want agile, lean construction projects, we need careful planning and carefully optimised processes. The core of our approach is LEAN Management, which, combined with our BIM data model, not only ensures maximum efficiency but also creates channels for smooth, transparent communication between the various project levels. Our overarching goal is to avoid wastage and operate in a continuous improvement process.
