We plan and coordinate every aspect of your construction project.

We support and accompany the customer's new build, renovation or conversion of an existing building – throughout all project phases – from the first concept to the finished structure.  

We bring proven and competent specialists on board and provide guarantees for deadlines and cost risks. 

The general planning is an integral component of our range of services, and always coordinated to the specific requirements of the customer.

Questions and answers on general planning

What services does a general planner provide?

General planning is when a company assumes responsibility for all planning services as well as supervising the realisation of a construction project, including the necessary commissioning and coordination of all the sub-planners involved. The company acts as the client's contact for the services of the entire general planning team. The advantage of this model is that the general planner serves as the sole contractual partner for the client for all planning and realisation support work, and commissions and remunerates all the sub-planners involved. The services of the general planner cover all project phases from the feasibility study to the commissioning of a construction project.

Rapp AG takes on the role of general planner for your construction project. You can count on our comprehensive expertise and many years of experience. Our services include general planning and construction management and cost management of the overall project as well as the following specialist planning services: architecture, structural planning, fire protection, building physics and acoustics, energy, safety, supply and disposal, environmental planning, landscape architecture, and surveying. For building services engineering (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and sanitation), we bring external planners on board. If required, we can also strengthen our team with additional internal and external specialists. 

Our job as general planner is to ensure that projects are completed on time and on budget.

Our project planning services create the planning foundation for the building.

 

Who works on a general planning team?

Today's complex building requirements call for the involvement of numerous specialist planners.
A general planning team consists of a GP project manager (or GP lead), parties overseeing cost and schedule management and many specialist planners from the fields of architecture, structural planning, fire protection, building physics and acoustics, building services engineering (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and sanitation), energy, safety, supply and disposal, environmental planning, landscape architecture and surveying as well as various other specialists (e.g. from the field of sustainability) if required. 

With over 400 employees, at Rapp AG we offer our customers a broad range of planning and consulting services.
Our general planning teams consist of internal and external specialist planners and consultants who are individually chosen for each project. 
This makes us a reliable, competent and responsible partner for all of our clients’ construction planning needs.

If you would like to learn more about our services, please do not hesitate to contact us.
