Public Buildings
Structural engineering for public buildings: administration, schools, sports facilities, pools, cultural buildings, emergency services, healthcare and defence.
The client is a municipality, a federal state or a public body. That governs procurement, documentation and pace.
What makes the difference
Procurement runs under the public procurement rules, fees under the HOAI, and the funds are committed within budget years. Cost certainty to DIN 276 is therefore not a service but a condition – an overrun has to be approved politically.
On top of that: almost everything is built within an existing building and during operation. School, pool and town hall stay in use while the work proceeds. Phasing, holiday windows and temporary arrangements are part of the design.
Our role
Structural design and building physics, verification for construction stages and phases, cost tracking and – on request – client representation towards the contractors.
