other services

As construction consultants/building project managers, we assume responsibility for technical, commercial and organisational tasks, and advise you in all construction matters.

The division of tasks between an architect and a building consultant took place at an early stage: the former gives the construction project a definite form; the latter provides for its precise execution. We at pm1 take responsibility from you for the countless technical, commercial and organisational tasks arising in the realisation of large construction projects. We advise you and prepare expert reports.

Regardless of what type of project realisation you decide upon.
pm1 supports you as your competent trustee.

› multi-project management

Professional coordination of several simultaneous projects. Hardly any client consortium or construction company works on only one project at once. As a rule, several projects must be managed simultaneously. If links exist between the individual projects, for example due to common project objectives or the same client, then in addition to project management (PM) for the individual project, global multi-project management (MPM) is also required. Without such management, the projects could, in the worst case, work in opposition to one another. Good multi-project management, on the other hand, allows synergies to be exploited. pm1 describes multi-project management as a “global project framework” within which the individual projects can be better and more efficiently planned and controlled. With our Project Monitoring, you have all your projects under control.

› fixed-term project management

› construction cost check

Professional verification of the financial and technical feasibility of your project.

Increasingly, the financing of construction projects is agreed on the basis of untested and ultimately false or too optimistic planning parameters, resulting in a “cost catastrophe”.
Cost estimates and plans made by the architects and specialist planners must therefore be examined in good time. Only after this plausibility check – made by us – should the definitive decision on financing be made by the investors, bank or funding department. We can safeguard your decision with our many years of experience and our databases of comparable projects. Your project must be financially feasible.

Your benefits from a construction cost check:

* Verification of feasibility
* Checking of cost estimates
* Checking of the planned requirements for financial means
* Safeguarding of the financing decision
* Minimisation of risk for investors and the bankWithin the framework of an accompanying inspection as your “construction cost guard”, we check whether construction progress is consistent with the means employed. Recent developer insolvencies confirm the urgent need for such a service.

› accompanying inspection

Professional support of your property developer function with an accompanying inspection.

Increasingly complex and time-critical project developments require prompt checking of the project participants and the documentation prepared by you.
With the introduction of a second inspection level, the property developer is safeguarded by appropriate advice and the “principle of dual control”. The activities involved in an accompanying inspection are defined by us with foresight in such a way that the inspection results can still be used by the property developer as a basis for taking a controlling influence on the project.
Thus we offer professional and argumentative support to the property developer in all matters. With our high level of knowledge and experience in all construction issues, the assertion of your interests is assured. Your project is monitored actively with foresight.

Your benefits from ordering an accompanying inspection:

* Delegation of a major property developer function
* Implementation of the “principle of dual control”
* Advice in the preparation of decisions
* Quality assurance
* Early detection and highlighting of variance
* Support in mediatory actions between the different interests of the project participants

› baukg

Professional assumption of the legal obligations particular to the property developer according to the Construction Work Coordination Act (BauKG).

In order to comply with the legal provisions of the BauKG, all principles for the prevention of risks to health and safety must be observed, coordinated and implemented in the planning and execution of your construction project. For the purposes of fulfilling developer obligations, the property developer may commission a project manager in accordance with the BauKG, who prepares the advance notice and appoints a planning and site coordinator in accordance with the BauKG, in the event that employees from several employers work on-site simultaneously or successively.

With our trained and certified employees, we can relieve you of this legal obligation.

Among other tasks, we prepare the safety and health protection plan and put the document together for later use. We inspect the site, report risks to the health and safety of employees and call in the Health and Safety Executive as and when required. Your project should be free from accidents.

Your benefits from appointing a responsible party in accordance with the BauKG:

* Delegation of the legal BauKG obligation
* Major reduction in the risk of accidents on the construction site
* Reduction in the risk of accidents in later service
* Risk prevention with documentation

› contact office

Professional support for foreign investors and their architects as a contact office on location throughout Austria.

With our very good contacts to the authorities and our comprehensive knowledge of the Austrian building laws, we can make a significant contribution to the acceleration of project development and official procedures. Austria is divided politically into nine provinces. Building laws are not enacted by the central government in Vienna, but independently by the provinces. There are therefore nine different sets of building regulations.
With our construction management service, we are pleased to offer you professional support with your building projects in all Austrian provinces.

› it management

Professional support in the installation of construction software.

The increasingly voluminous construction software now available can only be employed purposefully and effectively if the installation is planned and carried out professionally.
What we can offer, for example, for the installation of our webCost construction software package in the field of construction cost management and contract administration, is support in the form of days’ consultancy.

Within the framework of so-called “reorganisation projects”, the process-oriented sequences of events are determined and the optimum implementation ensured.

Furthermore, we are pleased to advise you on the implementation of a “virtual plan cabinet” on your web server or one of the pm1 web servers. Putting the devised processes into practice in the daily project routine is assured by professional training courses.
