Manage the design process
A crucial element of any construction project is managing the design process. Design management is organising the planning and implementation of design throughout the project lifecycle. It requires working with a variety of internal and external partners. Many different experts are involved, such as architectural, structural, MEP or HVAC designers. A good design manager keeps a holistic view, avoiding conflict between different disciplines and always keeping the client’s goals in mind.
Management of the design process helps projects stay on time and on budget
Design management guides a naturally chaotic process. With careful management of all the relevant parties, a project can stay on budget, on time, and be the quality a client demands. We believe it is best to have a design manager from Day One. The longer a project goes on without one, the more likely delays, miscommunications and inefficiencies will appear.
From factories to data centres
We have experience managing the demanding design process in a variety of industries like healthcare, industrial and commercial. We also undertake design management for data centres, whether they are for AI, colocation, hyper-scale or a company’s own uses. Data centres are a large and growing industry which we have been part of for many years. We know the industry and are aware of the latest trends, such as water-cooling technology.
Granlund knows design management
We understand the client and are able to represent their needs in every design meeting, whether the client is present or not. As the main point of contact we at Granlund want to provide transparency and control for the client. We strive to deliver “value engineering”, or developing solutions to solve challenges and add value. Our goal is to make the client’s life easy and smooth, so they can concentrate on their own business instead of managing the design process.
