Our role as Technical Advisors provides expert guidance on architectural design, ensuring your projects meet the highest standards of quality and compliance.
As experienced architects and designers, the PHd team brings a wealth of knowledge to add to and support your client team when you are undertaking a turnkey or D&B project. We offer valuable input and oversight on projects, addressing technical queries and ensuring adherence to various standards and regulations. Our expertise helps close any experience or knowledge gaps within the in-house client team, ensuring a smooth and successful project.
Our services are always tailored to the specific needs of a project to ensure the client has the full support they need, but equally, that the client is not paying for something where a light touch or peer review approach is all that is required.
Ensure that designs adhere to all relevant standards and regulations, providing peace of mind that your project is compliant.
Address and resolve any technical queries that arise during the design process by acting as client advisors to proposals from the turnkey/D&B contractors that optimise space use and facilitate intuitive navigation.
Conduct thorough reviews of project designs, such as healthcare schemes, ensuring layouts meet Health Building Notes (HBNs) and other relevant guidelines, and ensure education compliance with the Building Bulletins.
PHd’s approach involves early and regular engagement with your project, providing ongoing reviews at each stage. This proactive involvement gives our clients confidence in receiving well-designed, compliant outcomes. We have also stepped in at the later stages of a project to help steer the scheme to a successful conclusion, including offering support on snagging and handover matters.
