Does the study replace detailed design documentation?
No. The study is intended for initial decision-making and discussions. It does not replace design documentation or documents for planning permission.
Do I have to choose a particular manufacturer?
No. The HallConcept platform is independent, and the study is intended to be usable when talking to your own designer or supplier.
Can I change the design later?
You can change a design in progress. Once issued, a study remains unchanged, but a new variant can be created from the design.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. Studio is designed to guide users through the basic design and explain its professional limits clearly.
