How we do it?

With a personalized firm comes a tailored service. Our projects are typically unique and embody the place and ownership of their patronage. The diversity and complexity of each of our hospitality or residential commissions are realized in a simple and elegant design solution. Each experience in turn ensures we are practiced, knowledgeable and offer comprehensive capabilities.

Because we believe that “le parti” unfolds the potential of a project by manifesting beauty, giving structure to things that are hidden or not readily apparent, and constructing the heretofore intangible.

Because we desire to build meaningful spaces, because we discover the unfolding of the particular qualities of a project with integrity and with a sense of a greater purpose.

Davignon Martin’s services are typically broken down into three distinct phases of engagement: Conceptual Visualization, Blueprinting & Realization. Each of these phases and sub-phases form part of our process to conduct meetings, reviews, foster discussions and obtain approvals.

The most important aspect of a phased engagement approach is that it enables a sequential set of solutions and commitments, a step-by-step process and specific deliverables as the project evolves. The crucial aspect of a phased engagement approach is that milestones will be set and scheduled at every phase that produces a deliverable that requires client approval prior to proceeding to the next phase.

Visioning

Conceptual Visualization Design can be thought of as both intuitive and analytical.
It requires a series of discovery meetings to build and assess the most important goals and priorities of the project. Meetings are designed to encourage story telling, an essential element in our ability to empathize prior to ideation were our expertise responds to the discoveries.
Conceptual Visualization will allow the stakeholders to creatively explore the proposed design solutions while inclusively understanding costs. The project designs is to be assessed into “must haves” and “nice to haves” to form a financial perspective where a move forward design strategy will have complete clarity. Conceptual 3D models that clearly describe the design intent to the client are essential in gaining approvals that can then be used to create an accurate quantity survey and itemized cost.

Blueprinting

From the final parameters set out during Conceptual Visualization Design, Blueprinting requires alliance with a larger team of experts to allow us to produce a set of construction documents that will enable the vision to be built. This is the production of plans, sections and elevation drawings and specifications for precise budgeting and/or tender that conforms to the guidelines and the requirements set by the municipality and to the National Building Code. This includes assisting the client in the application and procurement of a development permit, all the way through to a released building permit.
It also establishes the structure under which the contractor will be engaged to realize the project - the final phase of your engagement.

Realization

For the Realization of the project, our first management task is to coordinate the tender or pricing exercise as established by the construction structure the client selects.
We will follow well established processes for administration of the construction from the consultant side in which the intent of the design and the strategic goals of the project will inform the ongoing decisions that are required through the inception of the project.
Following possession and occupancy, we will continue to check-in over a period to ascertain any items of concern or gain valuable feedback. As partners in this venture, we stand to gain from a true understanding of the realities of the project as they become apparent over time.
As such, we wish to remain current and available.
