Design Management

To make significant improvements in the end-to-end construction process it is vital to begin working with the design and construction team right at the start of the design stage. While it is tempting in the current downturn to go back to single stage tendering being a cowboy client isn’t a good long-term strategy.

Collaboration from the very start enables the whole team to focus on delivering what the client/owner wants in the easiest possible way.

Designers are not constructors. That is why it is important to involve constructors during the design process so that the production system design emerges alongside the product design so as to optimise buildability, design, cost and value.
