All projects start with a concept and
‘vision’ of the final outcome which must be defined, communicated clearly and supported by the entire team.

The Challenge
All projects start with a concept and ‘vision’ of the final outcome which must be defined, communicated clearly and supported by the entire team. This is the key challenge of Design Management.

Design management is an essential part of the project delivery process during which the concept is defined, then rigorously developed and finally converted into documentation that allows the ‘vision’ to be built.

Expertise
Evans & Peck is able to tailor its design management service to suit any client’s needs and to compliment any client’s resources.

We can represent a client throughout the project delivery process or be part of a multi-company design delivery team.

We provide effective design management that ensures:

• the client’s expectations are accurately
  reflected in the design brief, functional requirements and scope of works;
• the project budget is regularly verified during the design process;
• the project design is developed in a timeframe compatible with the client’s needs; and
• constructability is properly considered throughout the design and
  documentation stages.

Design management can involve:

• preparing a client brief;
• confirming functional requirements;
• preparing a detailed scope of works using performance based and/or prescriptive design criteria;
• developing and evaluating design options;
• facilitating value engineering workshops;
• obtaining stakeholder and authority signoff;
• preparing tender design documents;
  preparing detailed design documents;
• reviewing detailed designs for compliance; and
• managing variations to the design brief.
