OFFICE HISTORY<br />
Office Profile<br />
Fields of activity / office history<br />
The architects’ office <strong>Planquadrat</strong> was founded in 1994 by the partners Herbert Elfers, Martin Geskes and<br />
Jörg Krämer and is operated as a partnership.<br />
1998 saw the founding of the architects’ office Planar GmbH in Kielce/Poland together with Jacek Augustin<br />
and Slavek Studniarek. Since 2001 <strong>Planquadrat</strong> has been operating in the People’s Republic of China, since<br />
2003 in Dubai, U.A.E. In 2005 the architects’ office <strong>Planquadrat</strong> Middle East, Dubai was founded.<br />
FIELDS OF ACTIVITY<br />
The service spectrum comprises all fields of activity from the fields or urban planning and architecture.<br />
Included among the architectural projects are industrial, commercial, laboratory, administrative and<br />
residential buildings, schools, shopping centres and special usage buildings. The field of urban planning<br />
includes feasibility studies, urban master plans, legally binding land-use plans and services accompanying<br />
marketing. We support projects in all work phases up to general planning. Expert reports and client<br />
consultancy likewise count among our fields of activity as well as the regular participation in national and<br />
international competitions.<br />
VISION<br />
Teamwork that functions well and runs smoothly is the guarantee for the success of the office, which is<br />
reflected in the diversity of the executed projects and the numerous successes achieved in competitions.<br />
The field of activity encompasses all scopes of duties in the areas of urban planning and architecture.<br />
The projects are accompanied throughout all the planning stages, also in the form of general contracting.<br />
The spectrum of the processed orders ranges from industrial and administrative buildings to residential<br />
buildings, conversion projects and rebuildings to commercial buildings and cinema complexes.<br />
Our cautious and sensitive dealings with the urban environment and the way in which we work out<br />
architectural solutions on the basis of functional, technical and economic terms form the trademark of our<br />
Approach. The design of urban habitat is understood to be a complex process, within the framework of<br />
which the diverse aspects of the involved specialized areas are to be integrated equally.<br />
Within this intense interdisciplinary exchange the bases for the realisation of lively projects are created.<br />
Complex and demanding architecture is one of the essential bases for the lasting development of the<br />
environment we have created. We as planners strive to promote this development through realistic<br />
economical and ecological contributions.<br />
We have proven through our projects that high quality buildings can be realised at a reasonable price by<br />
means of intelligent and comprehensive planning.<br />
COOPERATION WITH PLANTEC<br />
<strong>Planquadrat</strong> - Architects and Urban Planners<br />
In the beginning of 2012, <strong>Planquadrat</strong> and <strong>Plantec</strong> decided to form a cooperation for projects<br />
in the Middle East: <strong>Planquadrat</strong> being an experienced architectural and engineering consultancy which is<br />
offering all planning disciplines and <strong>Plantec</strong> being an Engineering Management consultancy, that offers<br />
services in the field of project and site management including services in monitoring costs, time and quality.<br />
This combination of two successful experienced entities offers a one-shop-solution for the client and<br />
therefore guarantees the highest level of effectiveness and quality.
CONCEPTUAL PHASE<br />
Out Kit of parts housing design includes for all main MEP requirements, including but not limited to water<br />
and waste drainage, cold water storage, heating, ventilation and lighting.<br />
We understand that modern housing designs require active and passive environmental control features and<br />
an overall sustainable design philosophy from drawing board to completed house. Designing with long term<br />
sustainability in mind is now becoming more fiscally responsible as the net financial benefits in terms of lower<br />
energy use and water costs for example, save families in excess of four times the additional cost of incorporating<br />
sustainable features retrospectively.<br />
‘KIT OF PARTS’ DESIGNS<br />
<strong>Plantec</strong> - Engineering - Management<br />
Office Profile<br />
Design Metholodgy<br />
Kit of Parts’ approach we will use for the design and construct the housing projects. Essentially, the ‘Kit of<br />
Parts’ approach is about using a range of Pre-Cast Concrete Panels and Pre-Engineered components to deliver<br />
a variety of different types of houses. This system offers particular advantages, which include waste reductions,<br />
factory controlled construction, minimum disruption on and around the site and significant reductions<br />
in costs and construction time.<br />
Pre cast panels come with high quality internal finishes, thus reducing site construction time. Out houses include<br />
full range of MEP services installation, fit-outs and external works. The ‘Kit of Parts’ approach is ideally<br />
suited to the delivery for large housing projects.<br />
Main benefits of Pre-Cast concrete construction are:<br />
• Reduced labour requirements compared to conventional in-situ construction<br />
• Optimum use of materials<br />
• Short construction timeframe<br />
• Quality control environment – products / systems / services<br />
• Structural efficiencies (longer clear spans / reduced construction volume / large free open spaces with<br />
no columns)<br />
• Environmental<br />
Friendliness (reduced use of raw materials / less energy consumption in building process / recycling of construction<br />
waste) Longer Whole Life Cost<br />
Our designs for houses offer a wide range of room sizes and layouts and a range of supports spaces. Standardized<br />
flexible and sound proof partitions can be opened to create larger spaces if necessary. At the design<br />
stage, following the development of the brief and discussions with the client, we will develop whole housing<br />
solutions which fully meet the client’s needs and address the site context.
SUSTAINABILITY<br />
Office Profile<br />
Capabilities Profile<br />
Environmental and Sustainability issues are rising in importance around the world. Buildings, like housing<br />
have a major impact on the environment, not just in terms of material used in the construction, but also in the<br />
use of energy during their lifetime. Sustainability impacts the complete building process; right from design to<br />
construction and operation.<br />
Our housing design will be amongst the most sustainable buildings in the region and can be designed and<br />
constructed to meet the latest BREEAM/LEED requirements. Sustainability will inform the whole of the building<br />
process, right from the design to construction. Main issues to be considered are:<br />
• Orientation of the building on site to maximize the use of daylight<br />
• Reducing the use of Electricity<br />
• Passive Cooling to reduce air-conditioning load<br />
• Recycling of waste water for irrigation<br />
• Thermal mass and insulation to even temperature variations<br />
• Use of renewable energy sources to save on operating costs<br />
• Sustainable construction materials.<br />
We can also build in features like display panels, which will allow the building to be used for part of the curriculum<br />
on environments education.<br />
CAPABILITIES PROFILE<br />
<strong>Plantec</strong> - Engineering - Management<br />
<strong>Plantec</strong> was founded by a group of specialists to provide professional services to the entire spectrum of the<br />
Building Construction Industries. With the advent of much larger, multi – disciplined and very complex projects,<br />
it was found that the range of professional services available to our clients had to be expanded in order<br />
to meet their greater need.<br />
Project control attained greater importance due to the complexity of the projects, the necessity for timeous<br />
completion and the high cost of capital. Legislation and case law required more attention and structure in<br />
the conditions of contract.<br />
In order to meet these changing and expanding requirements of our clients, we formed <strong>Plantec</strong> Engineering<br />
Management whose objectives are to provide those services required to assist the client in executing all components<br />
of the project in a more productive and profitable manner.<br />
