Specialist planning with foresight

Specialist media technology planning is the process of detailed planning of media technology installations such as audio-visual systems, conference technology or event technology for buildings and projects. It includes requirements analyses, concept development, implementation planning and coordination with other trades such as electrical and building services engineering. The aim is the seamless and needs-based integration of technical infrastructure, from the initial idea through to commissioning.

Specialist planning for media technology is relevant for construction projects where complex audiovisual systems are required, such as trade fairs, exhibitions, museums, concert halls, auditoriums or other event and meeting venues. It is also required in modern office buildings with conference and training rooms, schools or universities in order to plan and implement integrated IT/AV systems such as video walls, collaboration platforms and signage systems. Specialist planning also takes on the coordination of stakeholders.

We plan projects according to the standard construction industry phase model. Starting with preliminary studies such as clarification of requirements, inspections or feasibility studies, we move on to the preliminary project, where technical planning, initial cost estimates and scheduling are processed. In the next phase, the construction project, planning and costs are specified and interfaces with third-party trades are coordinated. In the tendering phase, we draw up the invitation to tender, define the criteria and send it out. We advise the procurement office, evaluate the bids received and make a recommendation for the award of the contract. During execution, we take over quality assurance and execution control. We are responsible for documentation, provide technical support and manage defects and pending issues until successful completion.

During operation and maintenance, we create technical operating concepts, plan maintenance and servicing work and create a lifecycle management system.

Professional specialist planning offers more security, quality and cost-effectiveness than in-house planning. Specialist planners know all the relevant standards and regulations, avoid costly planning errors and coordinate the trades efficiently. They ensure legally compliant approvals and coordinate interfaces. In contrast, the client bears the full risk with in-house planning - professional and financial disadvantages are often the result.

Once contact has been established, the processes adhere to the standard construction industry phase model. Support from our specialist planning team can be requested in individual phases, but also throughout the entire duration of the project. For us, a project is always a ''together''. We are characterized by open communication, respectful and appreciative interaction and professional work.

We are happy to provide support in the following areas: Audio, video, media control, video conferencing and collaboration solutions (UC / VC), digital signage, network and AV management, room booking and room management, operating and control concepts, show and architectural lighting, rigging, content production.

You have the need, we have the know-how. Our job is to support you with realistic cost estimates and scheduling. We will be happy to advise you on how to make the project a success, with or without specialist planning.
