DESIGN DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT (DD)
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN DEVELOPMENT & COORDINATION SUPPORT
WE SUPPORT RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS THROUGH THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT STAGE BY REFINING APPROVED CONCEPTS INTO COORDINATED AND MORE RESOLVED ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSALS ALIGNED WITH PROJECT REQUIREMENTS.
THIS STAGE FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING THE ARCHITECTURAL INTENT ESTABLISHED DURING CONCEPT & SCHEMATIC DESIGN INTO A CLEARER AND MORE COORDINATED PROJECT, ALIGNED WITH CONSTRUCTION LOGIC, CONSULTANT INPUT AND PROJECT REQUIREMENTS.
OUR ROLE IS TO SUPPORT PROJECT TEAMS THROUGH ARCHITECTURAL COORDINATION, DESIGN REFINEMENT AND TECHNICAL RESOLUTION BEFORE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION BEGINS.
WE WORK FLEXIBLY DEPENDING ON PROJECT NEEDS — FROM SUPPORTING INTERNAL TEAMS DURING DESIGN RESOLUTION, TO REFINING APPROVED CONCEPTS INTO COORDINATED DD PACKAGES.
WHAT THIS SERVICE IS DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE:
Develop approved concepts into more resolved and coordinated architectural proposals
Improve coordination between architectural intent and consultant requirements
Support buildability and construction logic at an architectural level
Reduce uncertainty before documentation and pricing
Improve consistency across plans, elevations, sections and material direction
Minimise design changes during later project stages
