DESIGN MANAGEMENT
RHA offers Clients over 25 years of Specialist Expertise as experienced attractions designers and Edutainers, providing the combined services of Design & Design Management where required of our own concepts, OR purely experienced Design Management of Concepts, Design works and Implementation proposals produced by other Designers/Consultants.
WHY UTILISE THE SERVICES OF A DESIGN MANAGER?
Concept development, design and implementation of Edutainment concepts and designs involves numerous processes, disciplines and specialist expertise not generally familiar to Clients and Consultants within the standard architectural, construction and fit-out sectors. Such specialist expertise are important when:-
• The Client/Project Manager can not commit sufficient time to the management of the important design processes of unfamiliar specialist Edutainment elements and disciplines.
• The Client/Project Manager required impartial and independent Edutainment design and implementation expertise they do not possess.
The RHA Design Management role would generally be to manage (on the Client’s behalf), all of the Edutainment elements' design and exhibition/attraction fit-out services provided by others (or my own); to primarily advise, make recommendations, review and design-vet works of the project design team and specialist contractors/supplier; , co-ordinate the vital flow of information, to report on and manage:-
a) the co-ordination, performance and management of the Client team design consultants, specialist designers, contractors and suppliers works
b) establish the roles and responsibilities for all parties involved in the production and incorporation of Edutainment elements into the overall project
c) development of Edutainment elements' design concepts into detail design and construction/production drawings and information for tendering &
appointment of specialist contractors and suppliers
d) supervision of detail design drawings; production, of information, specifications and schedules as and when required for the project
e) involvement in the production and management of Edutainment elements design, fit-out related budgets and project programmes with the PM
f) development of procedures and systems for efficient flow of information between all parties
g) evaluation of appropriateness of design and construction fit-out proposals for required quality and "fit-for-purpose"
h) design related meetings, undertake extensive project progress and value for money spent evaluations
i) ensure the base-build is sympathetic with the Edutainment design and implementation proposals
j) ensure operational and client related issues and requirements are known and implemented efficiently by the Design and Contractor Team
k) development of procedures for and assistance in project completion and set up, hand-over and operation, Defects Liability responsibilities etc.
Increasingly, design consultants and contractors require Clients to approve and sign off Concept Development stages, Design Development material; Design Details and Specifications, Materials and Finishes, Lighting Schedules, Audiovisual and Multi-media development material; Interpretation, Graphics and Scripts; designs and details for Interactives etc. We increasingly undertake such responsibilities on the Client's behalf if they, or appropriate members of the Design Team, do not possess the time, confidence of expertise to undertake such important Works Stages and Payments Valuations Approvals.
