In particular, the close linking of technical, ecological and architectural aspects represents a major challenge. Comprehensive needs analyses and feasibility studies are therefore required even before the actual planning begins. In Switzerland, individual planning services are remunerated on the basis of the various SIA phases, which specify a detailed and structured service model that is not limited to the planning and design of a building, but takes its entire life cycle into account. We provide an overview of the standards for phase management of construction projects.    <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_2  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/the-sia-method-for-successful-construction-projects\/#What_is_SIA\" >What is SIA?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/the-sia-method-for-successful-construction-projects\/#The_SIA_phases\" >The SIA phases<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/the-sia-method-for-successful-construction-projects\/#The_six_SIA_phases\" >The six SIA phases<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/the-sia-method-for-successful-construction-projects\/#Advantages_of_phase_control_according_to_SIA\" >Advantages of phase control according to SIA<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/the-sia-method-for-successful-construction-projects\/#Challenges_during_implementation\" >Challenges during implementation<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/the-sia-method-for-successful-construction-projects\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_SIA\"><\/span>What is SIA?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The abbreviation SIA stands for the \"Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects\", whose standards provide a structured framework for the planning and implementation of construction projects.
