Abstract:

Complex and large construction projects are a major challenge both for the planner as well as the owner. All participants must have clearly understood the task at hand, and the specific boundary conditions must be defined or determined. Planning has a considerable influence on the success of the construction project. This not only means that the design must be buildable but that other aspects of the project must be considered in planning so that the construction task can be achieved successfully.

So, what does “Planning Quality” mean and how can quality be achieved or improved upon? It is not sufficient to simply implement a typical quality management system according to EN ISO 9000, but several different steps must be taken and preparations made for good-quality planning. This paper illustrates certain points on how the planning process must be organized, which steps must be executed and in which order and which tools can be used to monitor and improve the quality for each project.
