Educating Clients on Cost-Effective Design Options: A Compelling and Controversial Topic.

Yesterday we had an enlightening panel discussion featuring experts Jelena Kadrić, Dhiraj N Lochani, khaled alshamaa, and Brice Schneider, led by Esra Lemmens. The conversation delved into client expectations, sustainable design, technology use, customization vs. standardization, hidden costs, and much more.

Key Takeaways:

  • Collaboration is Key: Effective communication between designers and stakeholders is essential for making well-informed and efficient design choices.
  • Balancing Act: Achieving cost-effectiveness without compromising on quality is crucial for successful project outcomes.
    Final Conclusions:
  • Diverse Paths to the Same Goal: While the final design remains the same, the routes to get there can vary significantly, cost- effective design options is the right path for it
  • Impact of Design Costs: Design costs typically represent about 5% of a project’s total cost but have a direct impact on the remaining 95%. Definitely something to ponder!

    Kudos to our incredible panel for a fruitful and thought-provoking discussion!
