Behind every well-executed project is a team that transforms ideas into reality. Our company’s design team plays a key role in every process phase, from conception to execution. Their work goes beyond creating appealing architectural proposals; they ensure that every project is viable and functional and meets the highest standards of quality and regulations.
To learn more about their impact, we spoke with Ariadna, Michel, Lizveth, and Saira, who are all part of our design team. Through their experience, they share how their work adds value to each project, streamlining processes and ensuring successful outcomes.
What is the fundamental role of the design team in the company’s projects?
Ariadna: Every project, no matter its size, must begin with a global analysis based on the client’s requirements. However, it’s also essential to integrate all the necessary regulations and codes according to the intended use, ensuring proper operation and functionality. The design team, specialized in each project area, is responsible for bringing these ideas to life—making them tangible, viable, and buildable.
Michel: The design team is the foundation for all our projects. They translate needs and requirements into viable, efficient, and aesthetically functional solutions. They define the project’s vision and ensure that every detail meets industry quality, safety, and compliance standards.
Lizveth: We aim to align the client’s needs with codes and standards that ensure functionality and development in each project. As a team, we collaborate with other areas and disciplines to ensure the project is architecturally feasible but also functional and buildable. The design team plays a crucial role throughout the entire process, from the initial proposal to the final construction.
Saira: The design team’s role is to develop the projects for execution, which involves a prior study based on the client’s requirements. From this analysis, we generate different solutions to always offer the best option to our clients.
How does the design team contribute to project efficiency, quality, and viability?
Ariadna: We ensure project efficiency and quality by developing a well-analyzed, studied, and specified design. We meet the client’s requirements and ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards.
Michel: Our team’s experience allows us to approach each project strategically, avoiding common errors and optimizing resources from the conceptual stage. At the same time, incorporating young talent with strong tech skills allows us to implement advanced digital methodologies—such as 3D modeling, BIM, and simulations—which enhance precision and efficiency. This blend of knowledge and modern tools ensures quality, viability, and a more agile execution.
Lizveth: As a design team, we provide buildable, structured solutions that align client needs with project development. A solid design streamlines the process phases by facilitating interdisciplinary integration, minimizing errors, and improving the final result.
Saira: The design team’s experience allows us to guide our clients and ensure their projects’ efficiency, quality, and viability.
How does the design team add value at every project stage, from conception to execution?
Ariadna: Thanks to over 20 years of experience, our team analyzes areas of opportunity based on similar projects and applies lessons learned in both the design and construction stages. Continuous training in technical aspects and specialized tools is also key to developing projects efficiently and effectively.
Michel: From the beginning, the design team develops concepts and proposals aligned with the client’s needs and the project’s technical feasibility. We work closely with engineering, construction, and suppliers during development to ensure the design meets its objectives. In the execution phase, knowledge shared across generations allows us to resolve unforeseen issues quickly and accurately, providing the best possible outcome.
Lizveth: Every project is unique! The first step is identifying the primary needs, challenges, and objectives. This allows us to plan and manage each phase efficiently. From conception to execution, we focus on ensuring quality and efficiency—always keeping the end user, our client, in mind.
Saira: The knowledge gained through various projects, and the integration of new design technologies allows us to add value at every stage of project development, ensuring each phase is carried out with precision and efficiency.
How do you evaluate the impact of your work on the final results of each project?
Ariadna: We evaluate our impact by tracking the number of RFIs (Requests for Information), design instructions generated afterward, and feedback from the construction teams and the end client. These metrics help us assess our performance and establish areas for improvement in future projects—each one is unique.
Michel: The design team’s impact is measured through various indicators, such as client satisfaction, execution efficiency, cost optimization, and reduction of changes during construction. Our work is also reflected in the durability and functionality of the buildings, as well as in the brand perception and the company’s recognition in the industry. Every project delivered is a testament to the commitment, excellence, and innovation we bring.
Lizveth: Every project is both a challenge and a learning experience! That’s why we objectively assess our areas for improvement and lessons learned at the end of each one. This helps us track our progress and deliver better results in future projects.
Saira: We measure the impact of our work through internal processes and, above all, through the satisfaction expressed by the client once their project is completed.
We thank Ariadna, Michel, Lizveth, and Saira for sharing their experience and insight on the value of design in every stage of our projects. Their work reflects the commitment and quality we strive for in each build.
We’ll share a new interview very soon so you can continue meeting the people who make each project possible. Stay tuned!
