Anyone who builds must plan—and it’s best to proceed according to a plan. The planning phase, therefore, takes precedence over everything else. It forms the foundation of a construction project. As an essential component of project management, it ensures that all project phases are well thought out and organized down to the last detail. Starting with the definition of the project’s objectives, it systematically addresses resource allocation, the definition of interfaces, and the creation of a detailed schedule. Throughout the process, it must be consistently monitored—and, if necessary, adapted to new circumstances.
io has translated its proprietary phased model into a flowchart for the planning process. It features standardized definitions of terms with corresponding planning scopes. Depending on the project-specific planning scope, it can be integrated with the company’s own General Planning // plus system. It also integrates seamlessly with the io specialist planner management system. The process enables all project participants to establish appropriate project structures and optimize processes from the very beginning, thereby preventing missteps.
