Our Design Process
Working collectively with our clients, every BHDP team follows our eight-phase Design Process to extract an intimate understanding of our clients’ needs so their people, organizational model, processes, culture, brand equities, challenges, expectations, and goals are carefully explored and accurately identified prior to the ideation of design solutions. As opposed to designing to a moment in time, we want to know where our clients are going so our design solutions remain relevant with future changes. This collaborative, transparent approach ensures the project achieves the results our clients require.
Investing in Emerging Design Technology
We embrace technology to support innovation and improve our project delivery approach by leveraging the newest generation of design and collaboration tools available. These technology platforms offer a competitive advantage to our clients and are core to our SmartWork initiative. We are continually integrating advanced technology into our process applications while exploring new emerging technologies for future opportunities.
VR and AR Technology
To assist clients at critical decision-making stages, we have integrated virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology into our Design Process. Recently, our designers used VR to finalize the design of a well-known regional theater. While delivering options for its new stage and seating areas, we were able to virtually place the client team in every individual seat of the theater to demonstrate how our design enhanced the experience from every patron’s viewpoint.
3D Digital Scans through Matterport
We also use Matterport, a state-of-the-art camera, to collect a 3D digital scan of the as-built conditions of spaces prior to beginning work on each project. This 3D platform provides preexisting data points to all members of the architectural and engineering teams to help inform design decisions throughout the process. Matterport integrates seamlessly into SketchUp, Revit, and AutoCAD, which provides the ability to create a digital twin of the current site conditions. Additionally, it creates 3D walkthroughs of space to immediately guide anyone on a virtual site tour to communicate key milestone achievements or to perform remote site inspections.
