01 · Prepare
For suitable new builds, start with a building concept. For renovation, use existing or imported building data. Recorded assumptions complete the initial working model.
RENALDO PLANNING CENTERYour building takes shape.
Your building takes shape.
Planning starts with a head start.
Building models, pre-calculated values and draft plans in one place. Review assumptions, refine the design and reuse the data for estimating, procurement and delivery.

Less rebuilding information.
More informed decisions.
02 · Review & refine
Review geometry, boundary conditions and calculation assumptions with specialists. Correct values within the project instead of rebuilding the same starting point repeatedly.
03 · Deliver together
Reuse checked quantities and selected work items for costs, bills of quantities and scheduling. The sprint methodology complements the software during delivery.
PLANNING DISCIPLINESMany disciplines.
Many disciplines.
One shared building.
Building model & plans
Edit rooms, openings and components together. Derive draft plans for new builds and renovation; prepare permit documents for new builds.
Heating & heat pumps
Review room-level heating loads and preliminary heat pump sizing with visible assumptions.
Ventilation & underfloor heating
Prepare ventilation, heating circuits, manifolds and floor assemblies and coordinate their requirements.
Plumbing, electrical & PV
Prepare pipe routes and risers for new builds. Refine electrical equipment, lighting and PV within the project.
Structure & junctions
Check structural axes geometrically and identify junction requirements. Structural design and construction details remain specialist work.
Site setup & plan review
Prepare site setup and logistics. Version document sets, review them and approve specific revisions.
Planning maturity varies by discipline. Building physics evidence is prepared as an additional area; complete verification, permit compliance and construction readiness require project-specific review and completion.

One building concept.
Many prepared next steps.
An apartment building with repeatable layouts: start with a suitable building concept and refine storeys, rooms, openings and components. Use that foundation to develop draft plans and coordinate technical planning.
- Refine the buildingAdapt the concept to the site, intended use and selected specification.
- Prepare plans and specialist inputsWork on floor plans, preliminary calculations and permit drafts from the same model.
- Review and carry forwardResolve local requirements; reuse checked quantities for costs and the bill of quantities.

02 / RENOVATION EXAMPLEFrom an existing room
From an existing room
to coordinated building services.
For an existing building, each discipline can build on shared information. Rooms, windows and components form the common starting point for room-level heating loads, preliminary heat pump sizing and ventilation planning.
Check the prepared assumptions against the building and resolve open questions with specialists. Selected measures and work items then feed into estimating and tendering.
The benefitLess duplicate data entry. More time to assess options on technical merit and cost.
03 / FROM PLANNING TO DELIVERYThe result is more
The result is more
than a stack of PDFs.
Save draft plans as revisions, involve the responsible specialists and review the specific version. The building model, quantities and selected work items remain the basis for the decisions that follow.
- Estimates from quantities and predefined prices.
- Bills of quantities and procurement from the selected scope.
- Scheduling from durations and predefined dependencies.
The same project foundation follows the work from preparation to site. Your specialists decide when a revision is ready for the next step.

FOR NEW BUILD AND RENOVATIONMore preparation.
More preparation.
Less lost in handovers.
Developers and housing companies prepare projects earlier. Planning and construction management firms work from a traceable baseline. General contractors coordinate design and delivery on the same project foundation.
Renovation requires checking existing components and systems on site. Standardised new builds benefit from reusable building concepts. Professional responsibility, local requirements and approvals remain with the responsible parties.
