Our philosophy
Planungsbuero Werger is an independent design agency with unrestricted authorisation to present building documents, which means we can take care of the concept, detailed planning, architecture and interior design and consider the whole project in its entirety.
Thanks to our many years of experience in planning new construction, conversion and redevelopment of existing buildings, especially in private residential and commercial buildings, we can draw on the entire spectrum of interior design and architectural expertise.
With our respect for existing buildings and appreciation of individual aspects, we execute projects with vision, honesty, intelligence and style.
With our team's versatility and skills, we consolidate our ideas to create individual and sustainable concepts. As such, the right choice of colours and materials is just as important to us as consistent lighting design and how interiors and exteriors interact.
Our work is based on a desire to create something timeless, lasting and of value and to implement the aspirations of our clients within the proposed budget.
Our services
As a member of the NRW Chamber of Architects and Federation of German Interior Designers, we are your reliable and capable partner at every planning and supervision stage.
As an independent company, we provide reliable support to our clients and are available to advise subcontractors.
Our areas of operation:
- Planning brief
Each project begins with a detailed client briefing. The services required, client needs and stock are determined on site; we develop initial decision-making aids as required.
- Preliminary planning
Preliminary planning includes graphic presentation of the planning concept. As such, we develop alternative solution options as required.
- Concept planning
We work through the planning concept while taking account of urban development, creative, functional, technical, economic and ecological requirements. We then visualise the preliminary planning results on a computer.
- Approval planning
This stage involves preparing the submissions required for approvals in accordance with the regulations under public law. Planning documents are produced or amended accordingly; the required building application forms, calculations and agreements with licencing authorities responsible are completed, which are required to obtain building approvals.
- Implementation planning
We produce all the planning documents including the required detail planning as the basis for the statement of work and deliverables. This is followed by developing the basics for other specialists involved in planning as well as incorporating their contributions toward a fully-fledged solution.
- Preparation for award of contract
The range of duties that arise during the construction activity stage are divided into and specified in bills of quantities, whereby we determine the precise amounts for individual subsections. In addition, the specialists involved in planning agree on and coordinate the specified services.
- Participation in awarding of contracts
After compiling the bill of quantities the project is put out to tender. The quotes we receive are checked and evaluated using a price comparison list. The builders and trade contractors who are ultimately involved are determined accordingly.
- Site coordination and monitoring
This includes monitoring of builders and tradesmen working on the site for compliance with the building permit, final plans and statement of work plus generally accepted engineering regulations and appropriate provisions. The entire building coordination system is also regulated.
- Site maintenance and documentation
The construction phase involves inspecting the property to identify any faults before limitation periods expire and warranty claims against contracting companies and documentation of the entire construction project.
