RENALDO PLANNING CENTER

Your building takes shape.
Planning starts with a head start.

Generate draft plans and preliminary calculations from your building model at the click of a button, based on your blueprints and selected work items. Review assumptions, refine the design and use the results for estimating, procurement and delivery.

A shared starting point. Professional review turns prepared values into your project baseline.
PREPARED DATA INSTEAD OF EMPTY FIELDS

Less rebuilding information.
More informed decisions.

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.

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 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.

01 / NEW BUILD EXAMPLE

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.

  1. Refine the buildingAdapt the concept to the site, intended use and selected specification.
  2. Prepare plans and specialist inputsWork on floor plans, preliminary calculations and permit drafts from the same model.
  3. Review and carry forwardResolve local requirements; reuse checked quantities for costs and the bill of quantities.

02 / RENOVATION EXAMPLE

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 DELIVERY

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 RENOVATION

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.

PART OF THE RENALDO PLATFORM

Planning connects
to the next step.

The Planning Center brings project planning tools together. Available capabilities depend on your modules, project type and role.

During the trial, plans carry a watermark. Clean plan sets, specialist drawings, IFC and other data exports are unlocked per project: from €290 (renovation) or €490 (new build) including 5 units; the amount is credited against the project fee.

CONNECT EARLY DESIGN AND PROFESSIONAL PLANNING

Your designer starts with a model.

A prepared starting point reduces repeated data entry, especially in renovation. RENALDO generates draft drawings from the building model and room schedule at the click of a button. Your designer receives the model via IFC, reviews it and develops the architectural design and subsequent planning.

  1. Start with the existing building

    Available LOD2 building data and a hypothetical room schedule provide an initial model. Existing drawings, surveys, scans or IFC data refine that starting point.

  2. Hand over the full model

    IFC4 export includes the components present in the model: walls, slabs, roof, stairs, windows and doors, plus spaces, quantities, materials and properties. Draft drawings from the Planning Center support the handover.

  3. Review and develop the design

    The designer checks dimensions and existing conditions, adds a measured survey where needed and makes the final architectural adjustments. Professional planning builds on the early design.

LOD2 and a hypothetical room schedule are early design assumptions, not a measured survey. Spaces without a known location remain records without invented geometry. The designer checks import and editability in the chosen CAD system and remains responsible for professional review and approval.

Module: Plan & Calculate. File handover follows the project release rules for plans and data exports; a trial alone does not unlock IFC downloads. Housing and homeowner project and package rules apply.
