Commercial Interior Design magazine’s (CID) first issue of 2018 features David Daniels, Director of Architecture at SSH, as part of a panel at the designMENA Summit late last year in Dubai.
In a session entitled 'Battling for Quality and Design Integrity', David, along with fellow panellists, discussed balancing quality with speed on project delivery, encouraging early and continuous input from clients, and how implementing value engineering early should help to keep material costs low without affecting the original design.
"Value engineering tends to happen at the end of the project, but it should start on day one," David said.
Of the event, David commented: "It was another amazing summit attended by some of the region's best people in the architecture and design industry. There was some great commentary from all speakers and panellists towards today's issues." Read coverage of the designMENA Summit 2017 here.
