Reviews can be aligned with key stages of the Development Consent Order (DCO) process, helping project teams test their design vision, respond to local context and demonstrate how design quality is carried through from early proposals to delivery.
Infrastructure Design Review can be commissioned as a single review or as an ongoing programme aligned with the project’s design, consent and delivery gateways.
Each commission is scoped and priced individually. Additional travel, venue or refreshment costs may apply.
