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.
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.

Who works on a general planning team?
Today's complex building requirements call for the involvement of numerous specialist planners.

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.
