GNCE’s Design Strategy is based on our extensive experience and reputation built over many years in the Construction Industry. All of our projects incorporate low energy technologies, when combined with high performing building fabrics, result in an inherently low energy use building.

We apply the technology in an appropriate manner based on sound engineering. A building is not a single part but the sum of all the parts which achieves the desired total. This is a very important part of the design approach.

As a designer, everybody on the project has to work together to make the building as a system, work successfully.

With our experienced staff, GNCE has the necessary Technical and Computer Modelling resources to handle the most complex of projects.

We have expertise using the following Building Information Modelling (BIM) software tools: Revit, MagiCAD, iSBEM and Autodesk MEP to manage the construction and provide models to allow informed decisions to be made.

Our methodology consists of five key steps to ensure a structured and effective project delivery:

1. Preliminary
   Discuss project brief with Client and Architect to outline all aspects from the start.
2. Concept Design
   Develop innovative, low-energy design concepts based on client and architect discussions.
3. Tender Design
   Prepare drawings and documents for sub-contractor pricing. Analyze received quotes and review with the client.
4. Construction Monitoring
   Attend site meetings, conduct inspections for BCAR compliance, process procurement submittals, and address on-site issues.
5. Construction Handover
   Collect and inspect final certificates, ensure BCAR compliance, and complete final project documentation before client handover.
