Preconstruction Services - Optimal preparation for successful construction projects

Reliable Collaboration Before Construction Begins

The better the preparations, the more efficient and smoother the subsequent process!

The preconstruction phase is therefore an important step for us to guarantee planning security and set the stage for a successful project execution. We support you long before construction begins, providing you with the best foundation for decision-making and actual planning.

In addition to free initial consultation, we offer inventory assessments, the creation of hand samples, visual mock-ups, and a technical concept, taking into account any challenges and aspects related to material selection and feasibility.

We support you even before construction begins with consulting, site surveys, hand samples, and visualizations to ensure informed decisions and smooth processes.

Inventory Assessment: What is Needed?

As a metal construction company, we are aware that every building undergoes various requirements throughout its lifecycle. To ensure a long service life, it is important to perform preventive maintenance and, if necessary, make alterations to keep up with changing requirements. Façade components also need to be maintained or replaced at regular intervals to ensure the safety and functionality of the building.

Initial Consultation: Addressing Open Questions

For a contemporary façade, you have a choice of a variety of materials. In our projects, various materials such as aluminum, glass, steel, stainless steel, stones, terracotta, fiber-reinforced concrete, and plastics are used.

Processing and combining all these materials require a solid understanding of material properties, processing techniques, and material combinations.

Hand Samples: Making Decisions with Confidence

Hand samples literally make your visions tangible: it is crucial to develop a sense for the materials used as well as colors and color combinations to be able to use them effectively.

We are happy to compile a selection of hand samples for you, giving you a realistic idea of our materials and their properties.

Our experienced team assists you in selecting materials and compiling hand samples to ensure that your ideas and requirements are perfectly realized.

Visual Mock-Ups and Analog Viewing Samples: A Glimpse into the Future

Through digital technologies, we have excellent opportunities to provide a realistic insight into the execution and construction of the future facade. Augmented and virtual reality visualizations make technical solutions understandable even for laypeople.

However, only an analog viewing sample can illustrate the facade construction under real conditions and with real light and show the different tolerances of various materials. Only a full-size sample shows how different material and color combinations harmonize in the overall picture. Often, the final colors for the project are determined on the viewing sample. Weaknesses in the construction become visible during assembly, which can be improved for mass production.
