Suffolk Design: Streamlining the workflow between design and construction
Suffolk Design is our in-house design and design-management team. We partner with clients, designers, and Suffolk’s operations teams to deliver projects in a variety of sectors — commercial, multifamily, hospitality, higher education, life sciences and health care — with greater speed, completeness, and certainty.
Why Suffolk Design?
What we do
Working with Suffolk’s preconstruction teams, Suffolk Design’s licensed architects and engineers provide key services geared towards driving project success from design inception through completion.
Design Management
With this collaborative process, Suffolk Design coordinates design deliverable, procurement, and fabrications schedules with all stakeholders to ensure an optimized process alignment. Team members participate in a detailed planning process to identify and prioritize constraints and needs and establish commitment dates.
Constructability Reviews
To establish clear design document completion goals, Suffolk Design regularly holds design and constructability level of development reviews with clients and their design team. These reviews facilitate team-wide collaboration and set clear expectations.
Design Assist During Construction
Keeping pace with the rapid flow of information required during the construction phase can be challenging. Using Suffolk Design on design assist efforts allows major architectural, MEP, and structural coordination issues to be identified earlier in the project lifecycle, avoiding redesign efforts and offering cost-effective solutions to be incorporated into the final documents.
