Our services
Precision requires clarity, with every detail aligned and integrated from the outset.
Project Brief
Leveraging our design and construction expertise, we will prepare a robust tender pack for design services through the following steps:
- Client Briefing: Interview the client to define project goals, aspirations, and performance expectations.
- Property Appraisal: Assess the site’s potential and challenges against the project vision.
- Data Sourcing: Gather essential third-party information and technical data.
- Tender Compilation: Consolidate all findings into a concise, actionable pack to guide the design team with their submittals.
Feasibility and Guide
Upfront clarity puts you in control, making the decision to proceed more decisive and efficient. During our consultations, we will:
- Navigate the Process: Outline the project roadmap and what to expect at every stage.
- Optimize Preparation: Advise on pre-project actions to ensure a seamless experience.
- Assess Feasibility: Provide a high-level feasibility report based on integrated project data.
Team Selection
Once the project brief is finalized, we can facilitate the selection of your design or construction team. We will:
- Source & Vet: Curate a shortlist of qualified consultants based on project needs.
- Manage Tenders: Issue briefs and questionnaires, managing all designer inquiries.
- Analyze Submissions: Scrutinize programs, competencies, and interview top candidates.
- Appoint: Provide a comprehensive report with substantiated recommendations for final selection.
Regardless of who manages team selection, our tender pack ensures accurate, comparable bids and stabilises fees throughout the design process. It formally records your requirements, ensuring the project vision is protected and followed by all. See
Our Approach for further details.
Support
While SouthwaterDC focuses on the initial project stages, we provide ongoing ad hoc support to ensure continuity and peace of mind. We are available to:
- Advise: Offer expert opinions on project concerns or "behind-the-scenes" guidance.
- Resolve: Provide impartial solutions to complex project conundrums.
- Mediate: Act as an unbiased third party to maintain healthy project relationships.
For complex projects requiring continuous oversight, we can recommend and discuss the advantages of appointing a dedicated Project Manager.
