Building design

Building design describes a process in which a construction project is conceptually developed and designed. These conceptual considerations are captured in architectural drawings and construction drawings. Here, the local building must be considered in its form and character. The feasibility of the design is demonstrated in calculations. The planning is the first phase of the construction process, but also continued during construction. It is a prerequisite for the approval of a construction project in Germany.

Building design types

There are roughly classified into four types of construction planning:

• Building construction planning
• Engineering planning
• Depth, road, landscaping and planning
• Sectoral planning

All of these areas relate to each other in close contact and are handled by architects, engineers, landscape architects and planners.

Provisions of the Planning

When planning a number of legal and technical regulations must be observed. Objective of setting building law regulations are the guarantee of safety and serviceability of the building project. The responsible planner has to take into account the provisions of which are mentioned in the construction sector also recognized rules of technology. Furthermore, it is to pay attention to the observance of regulations and laws ( for example, building code, building code ).

Planning phases

The construction plan is divided into phases according to the HOAI: (depending on the complexity of the project Partial points may be omitted)
