The D4S Delivery Framework

Project Brief & Guidance

1.0 Project brief and guidance

We are here to provide guidance towards your project from the very start. We work closely with you, considering potential solutions, that will influence decisions you make around design, procurement and resource earlier in the construction process.

We undertake feasibility studies and complete further research and development, to ensure you maximise your project potential and reach your desired outcomes.

At this stage, you will meet your Project Director, who on creating you project brief, will continue to work directly with you, throughout every step of delivery.

Concept design

2.0 Concept design

We explore all structural options, creating a preliminary scheme, to support the architectural concept and document creation for planning approval.

Depending on the complexity of your project, we may introduce BIM (Building Information Modelling) at this stage, where we create digital models and data sets based on design intent.

Developed Design

3.0 Developed design

We progress initial concepts, through developing a more detailed design of all primary structural elements. At this stage, we create an fully coordinated model, using Tekla, bringing together, structural elements with architectural design and M&E services. From here, we can produce technical specifications and data, for accurate costing, resourcing and tender requirements.

Technical design

4.0 Technical design

Final designs for construction are produced. Engineers and construction modellers work closely to create a complete package for fabrication and manufacture, including connection design and detail.

Manufacture &Design

5.0 Manufacture and construction

Ongoing support is provided to the contractor once manufacture and construction commences. We are on hand to review and respond to queries, manage RFi’s and review site progress to help maintain efficient delivery.

Our services

Civil Infrastructure Engineering

We have delivered innovative solutions to infrastructure design projects to a range of clients, bringing a breadth of skills, experience and excellence to each project.

Structural Engineering

We have extensive experience in the design, administration and supervision of structural engineering projects collaborating with architects, building owners and contractors.

Construction Engineering

We provide full civil engineering services, including a structural steel connection design service for fabricators and main contractors.

Construction Modelling

Our highly trained, technical design team offers vast experience in Tekla Detailing, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) for structural steelwork, architectural metalwork and modular volumetric construction projects, including LSF and SFS.

BIM

Our wide range of consultancy services can be used to incorporate BIM into your business, bringing with it new processes and growth opportunities. Our team has a huge amount of experience in consultancy and implementation of BIM on many different types of projects.

Offsite Solutions

We are experts in Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) with an inhouse, dedicated team of structural engineers and designers, who are highly qualified and experienced in all sectors of DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) and Offsite construction.
