DESIGN
A major part of C&D's design work is for projects where the work is carried out whist the tenants remain in occupation and we understand that close day-to-day client liaison is the key to successful design and project management.
Comprehensive design drawings and specifications are provided and tenders are organised to an agreed timetable. We will advise on tenders and check with the contractor to ensure they meet the design criteria and are aware of the restrictions in the building.
Projects are reviewed on completion to develop best practice.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Each project management assignment carried out by C&D Partnership will utilise a tailored version of PRINCE2 in order to ensure all client criteria is identified and adhered to, and all products comply with our quality standards.
Project Initiation Documentation and Product Descriptions are used on projects above a certain value to ensure correct interpretation of the project requirements to all parties.

CAD
We have a computer aided design team that can produce drawings to the required level to enable small contract elements to be separately let.
Each service can be layered on to the main drawing; so that separate drawings can be provided to each contractor as required, mechanical, electrical, ventilation, air-conditioning, sanitation, building works etc.
Drawings can be printed, saved to CD or bound and emailed to the relevant parties.
