Our Design Management Services
Your design process should never feel disconnected from construction. With Stonehaven’s design management approach, you align project design control with construction cost control moving each design phase to execution with purpose and measurable performance.
We lead stakeholder coordination in construction and manage design discipline coordination to ensure your consultants align with the brief, technical specs, and programme milestones. This structured approach avoids delays and keeps design decisions rooted in practical delivery.
