A construction designer is a hired professional or group of people (depending upon the size of the project) who take control of the entire pre-construction phase of a project. A construction designer has a very important role to play when it comes to management of the design of the project, thus directly influencing its quality, health, and longevity. Since decisions made during the designing and pre-construction phase of the project directly influence the construction and post-construction results of the structure, it becomes vital to hire an experienced construction designer so that all decisions that are taken by him are sound and effective.
A construction designer has varied roles and responsibilities. Let’s look at the actions he performs so that we understand what makes him the most important professional in the pre-construction phase of a project:
– He plans, manages, monitors and coordinates the design process in the pre-construction phase. He records and manages all the relevant information related design work carried during the phase. He needs to be an effective administrator and manager.
– He brings together all relevant pre-construction information and forwards the given information designers and contractors so that they can carry out their duties effectively. He should be a capable designer and should have expertise in designing and engineering.
– He works with all the designers on the project to eliminate and diminish all errors, risks, and flaws in the design and if that isn’t possible, he takes steps to control or reduce those risks. This will only be possible if he is an experienced professional.
– He ensures that the entire team involved in the pre-construction phase effectively cooperates and communications with each other. He is responsible for creating synergy in the team.
– The construction designer also constantly engages with the construction team leaders, passing on all the relevant information required during the construction phase. Effective communication is the key to delivering a quality project.
