What the buyer is looking for
Good day, the city of Kassel intends to expand the Kita Rothenditmold, as well as to rebuild and renovate the existing premises. The extension of the daycare centre and the entire reconstruction and refurbishment measures, including the addition and adaptation of the outdoor facilities, are to be implemented in construction phases by March 2030. In this project, the contractor is to take over the overall planning as the sole overall responsible person, who will receive the essential architectural and technical planning services from the client. All planning services, which are gradually commissioned by the client in accordance with HOAI (LPH 1 9) for the general planning and construction of the Rothenditmold nursery, are the technical responsibility of the contractor. The usable area for the two existing buildings is approximately 870 m2.
