to plan and to build ?
I cannot quite make out your client's intention; it seems that he/she wanted tt combine two aspects of the employee's qualities into one............. In that case I would seperate the two, and put "Planen" with "Bestand", and seperate it from, what I think is a second "quality", "Bauen"...........
