Looking to the future
Designer Group are always at the forefront of the latest design and construction technology. From utilising 3D modelling to point cloud scanning and 3D printing. We guarantee our clients the best and most progressive engineering solutions available.
Engaging with specialist suppliers is key to staying at the forefront of what is a rapidly changing industry to make sure that the latest technology and products are adopted. Monthly training and CPD sessions with specialists ensures Designer Group’s engineers are always leading from the front.
Designer Group are also a Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) corporate sponsor and part of the ‘Design and Construct project’ at TU Dublin Broombridge.
Fieldview digital technology
We aim to stay one step ahead of our competitors, which is why we utilise the latest software technology to build systems that anticipate, analyse and report on a variety of risk – all of which contribute towards its mitigation.
Hand in hand with this, we consistently audit and challenge our own processes to further strengthen our internal systems.
Our tablet-based software is leading the way in formulation of our online quality documents, health and safety reporting and snagging to ensure our teams are consistently improving.
Prefabrication
Prefabrication offers distinct advantages over traditional build methods. We are able to de-risk projects, upgrade quality, have less site wastage and most importantly, improve health and safety. Prefabrication allows our clients complete flexibility with design, manufacturing and coordination. We can also save time by testing and commissioning prior to arriving on site.
Where we have used prefabrication techniques to their fullest, we have halved the number of man hours needed, passing that saving onto our client. We have also managed to save our clients’ time as well as money through prefabrication solutions not normally undertaken, incorporating building elements such as walls and ceilings.
We carry out prefabrication feasibility studies at the earliest stage possible on all projects. We can then pinpoint where prefabrication can best be used. Our experienced MEP services coordinators and prefabrication specialists utilise BIM software to develop detailed prefabrication designs and drawings that mean we can check, prior to manufacture, that all details are correct with particular emphasis on spatial considerations.
Prefabrication solutions range from simple prefabricated brackets through to fully prefabricated modular plant rooms and bespoke modular wiring solutions.
IOT Technologies
An ‘Intelligent’ building is one where the latest technology is used to enhance its user experience, productivity, and operational excellence, whilst also providing timely and insightful management information. We work closely with our FM business who have developed a new ‘IOT’ based solution that is industry leading.
