DESIGN & SERVICES

Technical Design

At Westgreen, our design management services have evolved out of problem solving, supporting and managing the transition of the detailed design and production design information. This is particularly pertinent where specialist sub-contractor design information has been required to complete the design consultants’ design intent. We pride ourselves in delivering high quality and complex designs through working closely with the architect.

Aligning Design With Procurement

Contractors Design Portions
Under Contractor Design Portion agreements, the design completion can become the contractor’s responsibility for specific parts of the works and a sub-contractor’s responsibility for part or all of the sub-contracted’ works.

Working With The Appropriate Specialists To Deliver The Best Outcomes
We optimise the design process where it is known that specialist manufacturers and sub-contractors will be involved in the realisation of a technical solution. We work with the designer to find the appropriate sub-contractor or specialist to deliver the built design elements, ensuring scopes are defined, interfaces are understood, ambiguity is removed, and that solutions work in harmony to assure the technical realisation of the design.

Assisting Architects Optimise Resourcing During Staged Tender Procurement
‘Staged’ tendered procurements are increasingly becoming the norm, helping to manage risk and cost across a demanding programme. But this process often throws up challenges to a linear staged design process that is not always aligned with the timing of the design team’s release of information and can be disruptive. Our design management services are available during such pre-construction stages, providing the necessary support in terms of skill, capability and capacity, to help the designer successfully navigate through due process. This removes unnecessary administrative burdens and engenders solutions that help design teams find the most efficient way forward in the deployment of precious resources towards design priority outputs.

Removing Abortive Work & Optimising Architects’ Resources
Where this procurement route is chosen, our preferred strategy is to integrate our design managers to work alongside designers and sub-contractor specialists. The aim is to develop the best solutions that will eventually become part of the tender offer and minimise abortive work for the architect.
