At Realiscon, we approach the design process as an integrated system, aligning every decision – from architectural concept to technical content – with the Investor’s development objectives.
The role of general design and BIM management is to ensure that this system operates in a coordinated way and that the initial idea evolves into a building that is feasible, permitted and operable, while being aesthetic, functional, economically sound and sustainable.
General Design – one coordinated process
Within the scope of general design, Realiscon is responsible for managing the entire design process: from concept development and decision preparation through to permitting and construction documentation. General design management focuses on the coordination of the design team and specialist disciplines within a single, transparent responsibility structure.
The essence of the general designer role is to ensure consistent professional leadership and efficient information flow at every level of the project.
Together with the Investor, we select and coordinate architectural and specialist design partners, align design schedules, and ensure full compliance with regulatory, technical and sustainability requirements.
For the Client, general design provides security and predictability: one responsible partner oversees the entire process, enabling faster and better-founded decisions.
Realiscon’s expert team not only coordinates the process, but also provides it with clear professional substance.
BIM Management – digital knowledge and transparency
The Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach supports the entire lifecycle of a building, including design, construction and operation. Through BIM, all project information – from geometric data to technical specifications, energy performance and cost data – is available and manageable within a shared digital environment.
BIM technology is not merely a tool, but a quality assurance system: it makes design decisions transparent, documentation consistent and processes traceable.
- BIM management enables greater transparency in design and faster identification of interdisciplinary clashes,
- supports the integrated development of architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical designs,
- improves the accuracy and traceability of scheduling and cost planning,
- while providing the Client with real-time insight into project progress.
- Model-based data management also creates long-term value during operation, maintenance and energy optimisation.
Integrated approach – strategic coordination
Realiscon’s general design and BIM management services treat architectural, engineering and economic aspects of design as a single, integrated process.
This approach ensures that decisions across all project stages follow a consistent logic – from permitting procedures and design coordination to BIM-based modelling.
Realiscon’s Green Team sustainability consultants (LEED AP, BREEAM Assessor, LCA and LCC experts) are involved in every project to ensure that sustainability performance and lifecycle assessments are fully integrated into the BIM model. Our general design and BIM management services form an integrated system in which project participants, decisions and data are aligned, ensuring a manageable and predictable process.
