Design Management \ Design Outsourcing

During design-intensive RIBA Stages 2 to 4, CPM New Zealand can offer services to property developers, Designers, and Contractors under ECI engagement. We could also help with services in this space during the construction and operational phases.

Good Design Management involves the proactive and progressive evaluation of design phases, maximising value-added opportunities, minimizing project risks and assisting with the appropriate budget allocation. Our well-run design process will facilitate timely decision-making and ensure programme and quality objectives are met.

Further, we recognise that New Zealand’s construction sector faces a significant shortage of skilled drafters, BIM modellers, and design professionals. As a result, design outsourcing would be a logical solution for design firms looking to maintain efficiency and meet project deadlines. CPM New Zealand can provide seamless access to an extensive global network of design consultancies across Serbia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, ensuring high-quality, cost-effective design solutions tailored to your needs.

As the former manager of a highly successful design outsourcing company that has served numerous high-profile clients in New Zealand, Australia, the Middle East, and Europe, CPMNZ can offer New Zealand-based firms a competitive advantage by leveraging a highly skilled workforce at a fraction of the local cost. Since we are based in New Zealand, we can meet with clients and determine their needs. Offshore teams then convert requirements into reality with daily video calls, digital whiteboards and other remote enablers.

Using an experienced, hybrid onshore-offshore Design outsourcing provider can help New Zealand construction industry scale their teams dynamically and deliver on project demand.
