This contribution introduces a methodology for early planning phases, which is based on a stakeholder oriented analysis of process-related user functions and supports the elaboration of a structural and formal building concept. Also a so-called FunctionsTool is presented, that supports the user oriented development, structuring and grouping of user functions and leeds to a qualified allocation of the functions and their spatial-temporal interdependencies. This tool and also other existing methodical and digital approaches have been evaluated for the complex application-context of hospital planning. So, on a methodological level, a further concept could be drawn up as well as recommendations for the further development of the digital FunctionsTool. Keywords: design methodology, stakeholder- and function-based design, webbased tool, hospital planning, early planing phase 1 INTRODUCTION Digitization is permeating more and more processes in the construction industry.
