Technical Visualisations and Animations – which constitute a communication platform between architects and the other project participants – play an important role in the construction process. They expedite examination and discussion of the modifications in the entire development process. The modification can be experienced – both in terms of complexity and of their repercussions for the project. In a conventional planning process, one would avoid such dependency at all costs. When planning with a comprehensive parametric-associative model accompanied by continuous program, it turns out to be a simplification.  Architects and clients can be integrated more quickly and intensely and remain a part of the planning and building process much longer than was previously the case. Planning highly integrated projects within a framework of tight budgets and schedules would be difficult in any case without digital work processes. Because the new formal vocabulary employed in architectural designs is constantly gaining ground, there are ever changing challenges to be met in their realisations.  Our purpose is to reduce and analyse the complexity and to make the structure legible. In terms of time frame and budget, holistic thoughts in digital process chains from preliminary design to construction can assist in making the realisation of such projects more precisely calculable.
