Project-Based Services as a Foundation for Scalable Collaboration
Taking on clearly defined service phases on a project basis offers a proven way to prepare for long-term collaboration within a monthly, on-demand working hour model. Typical services may include early-stage planning, permitting support, execution drawings, or tender preparation—tailored to local standards and project needs. All planning is carried out using a model-based approach and the BIM methodology.
This form of cooperation creates a reliable foundation: workflows, quality expectations, and communication paths are aligned and established within the context of real projects. At the same time, it fosters a shared understanding of the client’s requirements and working methods.
From One-Time Services to Ongoing Hour-Based Collaboration
After the successful delivery of initial tasks or phases, the partnership can evolve into a flexible model based on a fixed monthly hour allotment. In this setup, a dedicated team continues to handle clearly defined responsibilities, with coordination happening directly with the client’s planning team. Quality assurance remains with the client, while the collaboration benefits from well-established structures and a team already familiar with the project requirements.
This transitional approach ensures continuity without long-term contractual obligations. It also offers planning security by providing access to a qualified team that already understands the specific working context.
Efficiency Through Digital Standards and Model Integration
In both the project-based starting phase and the ongoing hour-based model, the consistent use of digital planning methods plays a key role. All work is based on structured BIM models, which are continuously maintained and refined. This allows for seamless integration into existing processes and supports precise coordination across all project stages.
Additional services—such as 4D/5D BIM, clash detection, specialist model coordination, or the preparation of tender documents—can also be smoothly integrated into this digital workflow.
Transparent Costs, Clear Structure
Monthly costs for the flexible working model depend on the scope and qualifications of the team involved. Pricing starts at €1,750 (net) for a clearly defined set of working hours. The modular structure allows for tailored scaling based on shifting project demands and volumes.
Conclusion: Developing Collaboration Strategically
Starting with specific architectural services lays the groundwork for a long-term, scalable partnership. Without complex restructuring, firms can establish reliable processes that later transition into a flexible, ongoing collaboration model. This approach offers an efficient, low-risk way to expand planning capacity—strategically, transparently, and fully aligned with existing workflows.
