Design & Engineering

The basis for the safe and economical execution of construction projects are the architectural (preliminary) designs as well as approval and general planning.

In order to realise designs as faithfully as possible, the experts from our affiliate pde Integrale Planung work closely with our experienced construction teams and all trades involved throughout all planning phases.

Continuous project optimisation, the interdisciplinary composition of the planning teams as well as the use of model-oriented 5D working methods in the context of BIM enable a holistic view of the projects. The classic 3D building model is supplemented by the additional dimensions of time and costs. The result is sustainable and economical solutions that focus on individual customer requirements. We accompany you from the idea to the turnkey property.

Smooth processes on the construction site are an important factor for the successful realisation of a project within the defined quality, time and cost framework.

This requires efficient construction preparation - this includes the calculation and planning of auxiliary construction measures, but also the coordination of resources such as equipment, materials and personnel, taking into account safety aspects as well as technical and legal feasibility.

In this context, construction preparation forms the link between the specialist planning as well as the construction site and ensures that the transition runs smoothly. The integral planning approach enables a constant exchange between the specialist areas and leads to a continuous optimisation of work processes. We can therefore support you safely and economically in all phases of your construction project.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital and integrative approach to the planning and execution of projects in the construction industry.

The use of BIM optimises the entire process chain within planning as well as construction and ensures greater transparency, reliability and efficiency. This significantly improves collaboration between all parties involved in the construction process, from planning to final acceptance.

As a pioneer in the field of BIM, we set standards and offer our customers innovative and effective solutions for their construction projects. At the heart of digitalisation is the building data model, which combines and visualises all building data within a digital model. The data forms the basis for bringing together experts from all disciplines in a team in order to accurately map the entire life cycle of a building.

BIM is therefore not only used in planning and costing. It also brings benefits in construction, interior construction, marketing the property as well as in subsequent facility management. This means that almost all phases of the project life cycle can be considered holistically.

During the planning phase of a construction project, numerous regulations and requirements must be taken into account, particularly with regard to the planned use of the building and the applicable fire protection regulations.

Effective fire protection is a decisive factor in any construction planning and therefore requires a comprehensive fire protection concept. Priority is therefore given to early fire protection planning.

Direct cooperation between the client and the pde Integrale Planung team means that fire protection-related issues are recognised and taken into account at an early stage of the building planning process. As part of the planning process, the fire protection concept is coordinated with the relevant approval authorities and the fire brigade. This considerably simplifies approval processes. We support you right from the start of the project and take care of the fire protection documentation required for the building permit.

The construction industry bears a great responsibility for sustainable construction. We are concerned with the sustainability of construction projects right from the start. Our common goal is to design the planning, construction and operation of buildings in such a way that they are ecologically and economically sustainable throughout their entire life cycle.

Building certification systems, which are recognised as a seal of quality for sustainable construction, are an important part of this.

Our services are diverse: we optimise projects by reviewing existing concepts in terms of their sustainability performance and suggesting alternative approaches to our clients. We also take care of building physics calculations and handle the required certifications. Carbon management, life cycle assessments and sustainability assessments in accordance with the EU taxonomy round off our range of services.

At PORR, we plan in accordance with recognised building guidelines and proactively participate in the further development of leading building certification systems such as LEED or BREEAM. In close cooperation, we plan and build according to the requirements and wishes of our customers and accompany them all the way to the certified building.

General planning means pursuing an interdisciplinary approach in which all planning steps are considered interdependently and over the entire life cycle of a building.

The specialist areas of architecture, building physics, structural engineering, technical building equipment (TBE), building preparation as well as fire protection are seamlessly interlinked and work together to find an economical, sustainable and always transparent solution for our clients.

The centrepiece of our work is a digital building model. Working with Building Information Modelling (BIM) is standard practice for all parties involved in general planning. This integrative method, which has been used within PORR for several years and is constantly being developed further, helps to avoid planning errors and calculate costs accurately.

It also increases transparency for our clients: by integrating it into all planning steps, the three-dimensional creation of the property can be followed virtually on the digital model. The result: safe and economical in every construction phase.

Lean processes from planning to completion: We use Lean Management methods in every phase of construction for continuous improvement. All work steps in the construction project are clearly defined and analysed in advance.

In this way, we can optimise the necessary resources and time requirements, promote communication between the respective planning and construction teams, map processes transparently and significantly reduce delays in the flow of information.

Thanks to the Lean approach, customised construction services with integrated processes are implemented within our customers' time and cost budgets. The result: quick decisions, reliable deadlines and cost transparency.

The requirements in the areas of sustainability, energy efficiency and smart buildings are constantly increasing.

The costs of technical building equipment (TBE) are accounting for an ever-increasing proportion of the total construction costs of buildings. At the same time, the requirements for building safety in compliance with the prescribed standards are becoming ever more complex and the individual demands on user comfort are increasing.

As a full-service provider with a holistic planning approach, we view your project from the outset as a collaboration between different specialist areas in order to achieve the best possible result together.

The early conceptualisation of all trades involved in technical building services - heating, air conditioning, ventilation, plumbing (HVAC), electrical engineering and building automation - saves costs and resources in the long term. We identify optimisation potential and the best way to implement it, use building information modelling (BIM) and prepare the data for subsequent building operation.

Structural planning is one of the key factors in the planning phase of a construction project.

With many years of experience and comprehensive expertise, the experts at our subsidiary pde Integrale Planung successfully implement the structural design and develop a structure for your project that meets your requirements in every respect.

Thanks to interdisciplinary collaboration on the BIM model and the close connection between the construction site, costing and scheduling, we set new standards in terms of cost-effectiveness, efficiency and transparency. This enables us to achieve massive savings as early as the planning and model-based optimisation stages.

We create approval structural analyses through to structural analyses for auxiliary construction measures in building construction and civil engineering.

Our promise: Safe and economical construction with PORR.
