Architectural Management

Architectural Management

TMG’s approach to architecture is in line with the Medieval Architecture Period which focuses on the art of building and a building system which is architect led. In this design-build scenario, the architect then fulfills the role of master mason.

Architectural Management focuses on two elements – design management and construction management.

Design Management

TMG’s concept-to-completion offering combines professional skills and leading-edge conceptualisation in keeping with best practice and the latest trends in architecture, interior design and industrial design.

From state-of-the art homes and sustainable living to highly functional and adaptive structures for commercial and retail application, TMG is able to initiate and complete projects to the most exacting of standards.

TMG focuses on the following aspects of design management:

  • Architectural programming
    Our approach covers all phases of the structure’s life-cycle; from site selection and design to construction, operation and maintenance, and possible renovation or demolition.
  • Bio-climatic architecture
    Also known as ‘green construction’ or ‘sustainable building’, bio-climatic architecture has become a key consideration in the design and construction of modern structures for both residential and commercial purposes.
  • Resilience architecture
    This specialist architectural discipline addresses the challenges posed by harsh climatic conditions or the potential impact of natural phenomena on either lifestyle (residential context) or business continuity (commercial context).
  • Interior architecture
    Sometimes referred to as environmental design, interior architecture focuses on the optimal allocation of the available structural space in alignment with business processes and the related patterns of human interaction. The design approach is adaptive, enabling the available structural space to be re-engineered for new applications, in keeping with evolving business needs.

Construction Management

TMG offers a comprehensive construction project management (CPM) service to ensure a functionally and financially viable project.

TMG focuses on the following key aspects of construction management:

  • Construction operations
    Typically, with design-bid-build construction systems, the time allocated for detailed construction preparation is insufficient. TMG recognises the potential impact of site constraints and focuses strongly on identifying and mitigating these during the design phase. Our approach to design-build construction is therefore based on the architect fulfilling the role of master builder.
  • Occupational health & safety legislation
    TMG will ensure that all construction processes are conducted with due regard to application legislation, in particular relating to occupational health and safety guidelines.
  • Construction supply chain management
    Construction supply-chain management offers new approaches to reduce the cost of and increase the reliability and speed of facility construction. TMG takes a systems view of the production activities of autonomous production units (subcontractors and suppliers in construction) and seeks to optimize all such activities.

A great building must begin with the immeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasured.” – Louis Kahn
