Design Management:

---

VPC's wide range of Design Management experience is built on 19 years  within two of Europe's largest and leading consultancies.  Namely BDP (www.bdp.co.uk) and Atkins Global (www.atkinsglobal.com).  

During this time in London, owner, Duncan Vincent, worked on many iconic and varied projects in the UK and internationally where he also worked with and led some of the most talented and gifted design professionals.  [Read more about that period of sector experience here...] 

VPC has supported internal client teams to build the best list of requirements (project program) to ensure every aspect of the project is designed and procured. This task can be overwhelming and time consuming and with expert help and tried protocols and proforma, VPC can ensure you, the client, is able to communicate your wishes.

Design leadership and responsibility is key to a successful project.  VPC has helped clients better define who on the design and contracting side is best placed to lead and coordinate.  Having clear roles and responsibilities helps define and mitigate risk and helps to control cost and prevent design error.

VPC has decades of design process experience.  We know how a design progresses.  We know how and when to engage clients to make key decisions.  We know when changes become very expensive.  We can help drive costs down while still keeping the original intent.  We also know how to lead multi-professional teams and to ensure that the designers communicate well, and prove an integrated and coordinated design.
