Design Management

BDP’s design management team is the largest in the UK and among the largest globally. Our team of specialists brings extensive expertise in planning, implementing, and managing projects from start to finish, integrating our design process into every stage. From early-stage master planning and strategic briefs to stakeholder engagement, procurement, and construction, we ensure projects progress smoothly and predictably, with a constant focus on scope, schedule, and budget.

With a strong track record managing large-scale, high-profile projects, we identify and navigate risks, seize opportunities, and keep projects on course. Our team includes experienced health and safety professionals, allowing us to fully fulfil CDM duties as designers, principal designers, and client advisors on complex projects. Beyond health and safety, we offer an expert approach to information management, quality assurance, and compliance.

Our advisory services cover all critical aspects of project management, including resource management, commercial oversight, and contract administration. We manage supply chains and procurement, handle project scheduling, and oversee change management. Acting as client advisors, we provide clear procurement guidance and detailed risk assessments. Our expertise in information management and document control ensures that all project documentation is handled with precision, supporting effective and efficient project progress.

BDP’s design managers play a vital role in supporting every stage of the design process, from commercial management to tracking project milestones and maintaining quality assurance. With our thorough, collaborative approach, we’re dedicated to delivering exceptional outcomes on cost, timing, and quality for our clients.
