Hospital Planning and Consulting
Our company has many years of wide-ranging consulting experience in the planning of new buildings, refurbishments and extensions. We offer competent support in the form of planning or participation during all planning phases from the start of the project to the commissioning. We provide practical and individual advice for our clients to optimise the daily operating procedures during ongoing hospital operations.
An experienced, interdisciplinary team of employees accompanies our clients continuously throughout the entire project and is oriented towards the goals of a functional, efficient and economic hospital operation.
Our range of services is structured according to the following planning phases:
Project development phase
This step includes demand planning, strategic planning, feasibility studies, strategic concepts, business plans, studies and functional-organizational deficiency analyses.
Planning and design phase
In this planning phase our work has its focal point, where all our experience gained from a large number of projects and our extensive know-how is directly incorporated into the design of the project team including the architects and specialist engineers. In this planning phase our work includes the following service steps:
- Functional space programmming, according to DIN 13080
- Functional and operational organization planning (preliminary and detailed concept)
- Start-up support (relocation planning, start-up operation assistance)
Our work is always carried out in close coordination with the hospital management and the users (physicians and nursing staff) by an interdisciplinary planning team with many years of experience. We act as a catalyst in the entire planning team. We transfer the wishes of the users, bring them in line with the requirements of the management and help architects and specialist engineers to implement these ideas accordingly.
