WHY WORK WITH DF?
Built around trade priorities.
Less detail ambiguity
Identify potentially problematic interfaces before products are ordered.
Buildability perspective
Discuss handling, lifting, access and physical fitting constraints.
Trade introductions
Coordinate with the builder or main contractor responsible for site delivery.
Clear boundaries
Structural engineering, planning approval and design liability remain with the relevant appointed professionals.
PRACTICAL PROJECT PLANNING
Design intent deserves practical installation planning.
Architectural drawings identify the desired result, but the final installation requires specified systems, structural support and correctly detailed interfaces. We can discuss the practical fitting aspects with the appointed contractor, without substituting for engineering or architectural design responsibilities.
