Door planning – handling complex demands with GEZE

tenders and assigning door projects Tenders are assigned to the responsible product groups, which means the demands must be described clearly and fully. The scope of services to be awarded is determined based on the previous steps. Therefore, everything has to be precisely defined and clarified right from the start. Supporting construction documentation The planner also handles the role of specialist construction manager. This includes coordinating the product groups and interfaces, planning installation, reviewing preliminary work, completing functional tests, and the associated communication. Handling specialist construction management and acceptance Ideally, the expert planner should also handle coordination and ongoing document management, since he is best and most extensively familiar with the subject. Poor or lacking coordination will always cause errors and conflicts. Training operators and users To ensure final commissioning goes as smoothly and with as few errors as possible, the expert planner handles training of operators and users, as well as all associated documentation. Interactions and contradictions in door planning Expert door planners have to do more than just take a wide range of different demands into account. The interactions between different demands, which can sometimes result in contradictions, also represents another challenge. An expert planner involved in the process at the right time can offer a comprehensive perspective, identify overlaps between functions, set the right priorities and coordinate the process with the product groups concerned. One typical contradiction, for instance, are simultaneous demands for noise protection and accessibility. Sound insulation usually needs heavy doors with multiple sealing levels. Often, such doors are not barrier-free because of this, as opening and closing them takes a large amount of force. Or smoke and heat extraction system fresh air versus fire and smoke protection: While smoke and heat extraction systems open doors, fire and smoke protection needs closed doors. There is also a seeming contradiction between 'fire protection and accessibility”' In some cases, expert planners are called on to reconcile contradictory needs and functions. Door lists for systematic door planning Door lists have become an established practice for door planning in large building projects. These include precise information on the location, installation situation, geometry, material properties, design and necessary technical equipment for each individual door. Door lists describe all significant properties and specifications; these do not apply to all doors in the building project, but rather differ from door to door. These include, in particular: Dimensions, including opening width, opening direction (left hand door or right hand door). Specialised needs, such as sound insulation, fire protection, escape route, burglar protection, radiation protection or climate class Material, surfaces and the design of the door leaf and frame Details on the lock and door fittings, as well as additional components like door closers, hold-open systems or door automation. Door lists can be used to systematically record all features. But beware: this tool doesn't help with the feasibility of implementing the doors in the context of the building. Here too, experienced door planners come into play. Expert door planning is a complex task, and is inseparable from expert planning of other product groups. Such interfaces have to be defined early on. Günther Weizenhöfer, Team Leader of Pre Sales Development Effective door planning with BIM BIM makes complex construction projects more cost-effective and efficient Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the future for digital and interdisciplinary collaboration. BIM allows all the product groups to work together in one digital model, a digital twin, and use all data together. Everyone involved in the building life cycle benefits from this: from the investor, architect or expert planner, to the installation engineer, system producers and product manufacturers. BIM is also ideal in expert door planning. Prompt coordination with expert planners in other product groups is the key to translating all the demands into practical functions. In addition, this allows everything to be planned efficiently, key information to be linked and functions to be tested in the context of the entire building technology before they are implemented in practice. Last but not least, it also facilitates precise predictions for the construction and life cycle costs of a building right from the start of the building plan . We have developed BIM door objects as an extremely useful tool for expert door planning. They are based on results from the work of the door group at buildingSMART . In addition, we have compared a wide range of existing meta data with official door lists. As a result, our BIM objects are also perfectly suited to international projects. You can download GEZE BIM objects free of charge and integrate them into your CAD system.

GEZE offers installation plans, wiring diagrams, WinCalc for calculating window drives, cable plans, etc. GO TO THE DOWNLOADS Safety through maintenance The client and/or operator is independently responsible for servicing, maintenance and inspection. He is obliged to take all necessary safety precautions to avert any hazards which may endanger people and property in the building. Through regular maintenance, he significantly reduces the actual risk of damage as well as his liability risk in the event of damage (see also safety obligation, German Civil Code [BGB], Section 823). GEZE ventilation drives must be serviced by a competent specialist firm, taking into account the particular operating conditions but at least annually.
