We can take care of the design team management process from establishing consultant and design team requirements through to completed design documentation for consenting, pricing and construction.

Our services include:

• Develop Project Brief  – we can prepare a project brief and procure consultant fee proposals. Review and negotiate with consultants re: their proposals.

• Engage Project Consultant Team – we engage consultants (on your behalf). We track and monitor consultant claims against accepted fees and provide you with regular comparison of expenditure against budget and the anticipated cost to complete as design progresses.

• Design Meetings – we facilitate design team and key stakeholder meetings, prepare and distribute meeting minutes.

• Design Programme – we prepare via team collaboration a design programme and co-ordinate the activities of the consultant team to ensure the accurate and timely production of required documentation deliverables in line with the design programme. 

• Key Decisions – (along the way) – we evaluate options during the design and documentation phases to ensure maximum value for money in all expenditure.

• Key Stakeholder Inputs – we work closely with key project stakeholders to ensure the flow of communication in terms of business operational information i.e. interdepartmental business requirements re: systems and processes, are coordinated and articulated into the design process.

• Quality Management – we work to ensure that the approved programme, budget and project quality are maintained. We ensure that technical equipment and plant are to the appropriate standard and can provide reliable and economical service throughout the life of the facility – (guided by the consultant team) and that the building structure, fabric and finishes are of the appropriate standard and suitable for the purpose of the facility.

• Authority Requirements – we manage the timely submission of documentation to relevant authorities for approvals and assist, where necessary, to obtain approvals. We manage and monitor consultant response to authority questions during consent processing.
