Apartment Construction Stage Services- Samples of Previous Technical Design Work
After planning permission has been secured for a housing development, and a decision has been made to proceed to construction, you need a package of services from your design team to make the building a reality.
- A viable design solution for all building regulations
- Applications for additional statutory consents such as Fire Safety Certificates, and DAC certs.
- Construction documentation to describe the building work for contract negotiations
- Project management data to help you visualise the design and construction process.
- Management of the relationship with the building control authority including Design Certifier and Assigned Certifier services.
At DKAD, we regard each of these steps as an opportunity to add value to your project by:
- Making the most of design technology to give you a complete understanding of the building from the earliest stages in the design process
- Leveraging strong relationships with contractors and sub contractors to negotiate viable and advantageous construction contracts
- Using additional data required for Building Control, to create valuable management data
We have a proven track record of delivering design and procurement services at all design stages for commercial and public sector clients. This experience gives us an excellent understanding of the legislative environment and the available products and services for efficient compliance with all aspects of building control.
- Hands on site inspection for contract administration and Building Control purposes
- Close links to the full range of technical design consultants required for complex housing projects.
- A complete design, procurement and contract administration process.
- Serviced office facilities for meetings with easy parking close to Dublin city centre.
- Unlike many emerging practices, our phone always gets answered, first time by our full time receptionist; this is a must on high value projects.
- We can appoint a dedicated project architect for the technical design stage
- All our processes are based on BIM, using the Revit platform which exports to industry standard AutoCAD. This gives all the cost benefits of a BIM led design process, without excluding potential suppliers who may not yet have upgraded their IT systems.
Our design skills and technology develop continuously and we offer the benefit of a BIM workflow and a luxury residential design portfolio. When competing for finance or selling homes in a competitive market retaining a design firm at the heart of your project team demonstrates a singular commitment to quality to stakeholders.
