This was followed by the organisation of the tendering process and instruction of the entire planning team and project management by BOHNZIRLEWAGEN. Simultaneously, BOHNZIRLEWAGEN drew up the initial drafts of the project timetable and the budget. This indicated that the clients’ preliminary proposals were inconsistent with the planning and construction programme. The solution involved preparing adjustments to the timetable and budgetary objectives by BOHNZIRLEWAGEN for agreement with the relevant committee.

After an arduous, and in some cases highly complex process over a three-year period to create the relevant building law status, it was possible to secure a significant improvement in the planning law framework. Notwithstanding the delay to the final planning decisions, it was possible to commence with the demolition works and refurbishment of the existing building on the basis of partial planning consents. BOHNZIRLEWAGEN acted as the clients’ central point of contact for all project participants over the course of the project. The collaboration amongst the project team was characterised by open and clear communication, a high degree of trust and strong teamwork. Furthermore, BOHNZIRLEWAGEN assumed the superordinate coordination and organisation of the complex planning and construction processes, and in the event of divergences from project objectives, implemented appropriate corrective measures in coordination with the clients and project participants.

The result was that the building was completed on budget and on time, and handed over to the occupier to the full satisfaction of the clients. Even today, and specifically for the City of Munich, the building is still a top reference property for the treatment of an existing property, winning numerous prizes and commendations for its sustainability and contemporary working environment.
