We are passionate about sustainable design; we partner with suppliers that are committed to 100% carbon neutrality to reduce global warming and Indoor Air Quality Certification to meet strict chemical emission limits. We specify LED lighting, reducing energy consumption, and are industry leaders in the region committed to the environment with certification to show sustainable qualities.

Space planning is a huge element of the design management process and an element of any project that should not be taken lightly. Moreover, the design of a space should be integrated into the overall project planning, not viewed as a separate element, to ensure that the project and its outcome ensure the best functionality and profitability of the space.

With LEED-certified projects in our portfolio and an innovative, intelligent interior design strategy, we create concepts that reinvent, recycle, and reuse existing materials where possible, helping to keep budgets tight while completely transforming a space to achieve the client vision.

Design Management Services

Our design management services and tools are designed for architects and tailored to fit each project’s requirements.

Design strategy and leadership

Design success depends on project objectives being clearly captured, justified, and communicated to those leading the project, whether client-appointed advisers, client stakeholders, or third-party interests.

We have vast experience in facilitating this process, ensuring the scene is set accurately from day one to avoid unnecessary disruption later down the line.

Appointments and contracts

Design team members need to understand who is responsible for what and when they need to prepare information. A key part of setting up the project in the best possible way is to ensure responsibilities are clear and there are no scope gaps or overlaps.

We work with architects, pulling together comprehensive appointment documentation and allowing them to focus on the design.

Design Programming

Design programs are valuable tools, but many hastily prepared Gantt charts do not accurately reflect the design process.

Working in collaboration with the design team, we create design route maps. These go beyond the usual tables and charts to express the design process clearly and precisely.

Reporting and progress monitoring

We collate and coordinate concise but comprehensive monthly reports so that all the design team members clearly understand the project’s overall objectives and deliverables.

By providing the correct information at the right time, we can ensure the project lead and client are aware of the critical issues and have all the information they need to make decisions.

Project Structure and Organization

The Design Management Plan is a valuable document describing the framework, strategies, practices, and procedures for executing and delivering the project.

We’ll collaborate with the design team to prepare the plan, clearly outlining the project objectives based on the strategic brief, participants, responsibilities, procedures, and control processes, often using schedules and diagrams to communicate critical workflows.

Brief Definition and Change Management

We support the architect and client early in the process, helping them define and refine the project requirements to prepare the initial project brief’s key components.

By defining the brief in sufficient detail early on, we can provide direction to the team and ensure the design process progresses without having to revisit fundamental requirements that prevent the concept design from moving forward.

Competition Support

Design competitions offer fantastic opportunities, but delivering on the client’s goals and aspirations can take up a lot of the designer’s time and energy.

We support architects by providing design management methodologies, programming advice, fee advice based on current market trends, team fee collation, guidance on potential consultants and collaborators, and responses to the design management aspects of the competition requirements.
