We couldn't agree more Anthony Willard!
Last Thursday, we were delighted to officially launch Accelerator. It’s a partnership of six experienced design consultants committed to streamlining the workflow from pre-construction to the construction-ready stage. Accelerator is made up of the following companies: Context – Architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, sustainability, iwi engagement and digital services. Mitchell Vranjes - Structural Engineers – Structural engineering. WOODS – Civil engineering and planning. CMW Geosciences – Geotechnical engineering and geosciences. TM Consultants – Service and fire engineering. DeWet&Co – Quantity surveyors. Our aim is to support developers' evolving needs by delivering designs for quality residential developments quickly and cost-efficiently via a collaborative, holistic project management process. Rather than following the traditional design-and-build model, we use a combination of easy-to-follow design guides, comprehensive QA checklists, and automated design and drawing tools to deliver consistent, durable, efficient, and constructible solutions. We offer three types of structural materials – timber, masonry block or concrete – providing off-the-shelf packages with significant savings and time efficiencies at the design and construction stages. Our role is to: - Share our knowledge with developers and involve them in the design process. - Utilise a LEAN business model. - Where possible, incorporate repeatable designs. - Provide a consistent team. - Ensure that site learnings, automation and efficiencies from other projects are shared. - Embrace simple, quality designs, drawings, materials and building methodologies to reduce building costs and cost overruns. - Utilise BIM and digital technologies to provide transparency by giving clients 24-hour access to all 3D models and drawings. - Offer a simple, repeatable process in a collaborative shared space environment. We are delighted to be working on our first Accelerator project and will keep you informed of our progress.
