SFMM Out of the "Box"
Bridging Global Aspirations with Local Excellence
SFMM Architects approach to design has been heavily shaped by the realities of “Construction” activity and realization of buildings. Due to its considerable involvement and exposure to the actual Construction, working in the field alongside Contractors, SFMM has developed an understanding of how various constraints shape a particular design to grow into a building.
SFMM, especially in the last 20 years, has been performing out of the “Box” meaning not serving as a design office,. SFMM works alongside Contractors, and has acquired the understanding and knowhow of construction realities within a particular geography, building culture, resource context and budget/time.
This experience and approach meant evaluating the challenge of managing the design intent, client needs and expectations whilst accommodating particulars of above-mentioned constraints, early in the project preparation timeline to offset and manage risk of approval/cost/time overruns.
01.
DESIGN MANAGEMENT
SFMM expertises in all stages of design , ensuring smooth project execution. SFMM design management team coordinate project sub teams, establish effective interdisciplinary communication channels between skateholders, and oversee resource management along with construction priorities.With experienced design coordinators and BIM skilled teams,SFMM emphasizes quality control and progressive development, providing continuous monitoring and technical support throughout the project lifecycle. SFMM involvement extends to project scheduling, and directing project development. Additionally, SFMM handles estimation and procurement to enhance project delivery efficiency.
02.
BIM SERVICES
SFMM integrates architectural and enginerring services with BIM capabilities, manages Autodesk Construction Cloud, serving as the primary point of contact for model publishing and distribution. SFMM BIM team attends weekly or monthly BIM coordination meetings, ensuring effective communication and collaboration among stakeholders. Additionally, BIM team provides comprehensive support to all team members, assisting with REVIT families and sheet templates to streamline workflow efficiency. SFMM BIM services include conducting clash tests and generating detailed reports, enabling proactive resolution of design conflicts as well as perform rigorous QA/QC checks and closely monitor model progress, ensuring adherence to project standards and specifications at every stage.
03.
ON-SITE REPRESENTATION AND SUPERVISION
SFMM works as an enabler to provide ways and means to negotiate, reinterpret, resolve local constraints and international standards on the site. SFMM collaborates with concept designers / contractors / end clients as representative to incorporate local requirements and build on the scheme to achieve the design intent as prescribed.
04.
DIGITAL FABRICATION
SFMM converts complex forms and built ups into applicable details by closely working with designers, industrial designers and manufacturers. SFMM provides optimization studies and develop scripts to carry our bulky tasks for fabrication of the elements. SFMM adopts from model to fabrication methodology by eliminating the drawing documentation at maximum.
05.
EXECUTIVE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
SFMM's Executive Architectural Services play a critical role in ensuring the seamless delivery of projects from design to construction, prioritizing coordination, accuracy, and efficiency at every stage. Design intent is integrated with construction realities by providing accurate, clash-free technical drawings and detailed information in SFMM. Our team produces comprehensive shop drawings that translate architectural designs and specifications into precise dimensions, materials, and assembly details. These serve as an essential roadmap for contractors, enabling efficient and accurate execution while reducing errors and risks. By maintaining clear workflows, coordinating design elements, and minimizing potential clashes, SFMM helps streamline the construction process, reduce additional costs, and ensure the successful realization of clients' visions.
06.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR TENDER SUBMISSION
SFMM engages actively in tender preparation, design coordination meetings, promptly tackling discipline-specific technical matters. SFMM team ensures timely production and issuance of project deliverables, and preparation of RFQ packages when required. SFMM meticulously coordinates and liaises with all sub-consultants and specialists to ensure the proper integration of information at every stage of the project. Moreover, they prepare interface and base drawings for all involved parties, fostering transparent communication and collaboration.
SFMM takes on a key role in translating the project from concept design to reality with high-quality, innovative, effectively optimized architectural solutions meeting design intent and implementations tailored to the needs and goals of each project.
