The True Measure

We base Project Success on the Operational Success of the Client. 

  • Is the Client operating Profitably?
  • Is the Client satisfying their customer needs?
  • Is the outcome of the Design/Build meeting or exceeding the operational demands of the Clients Business?
  • Can the Client adjust operations according to competition or economic cycles, to stay in the game?

Over the years we have seen far too many Projects under/or over-designed with catastrophic consequences. Even to the point businesses fail.

IFDC pays close attention to this by developing a system that would better ensure our Clients success.

Gradually we built a system that allowed us to accurately measure and better predict business outcomes. We inform Clients and adjust the design process and/or Management Practices to resolve issues before they are an issue.

We’ve become so proficient at it; many problems are solved in the initial Schematic Phase, saving time, cost and, headaches for our Clients.

IFDC proudly maintains long-standing relationships with clients. This is because we listen beyond what the clients’ says, putting them front of mind in everything we do.

Compatible programs with document management systems in place to track progress of even the most complex of projects, that supports communication.

For Complex Projects we deep dive our designs using our AGILE DMAIC approach that validates works. Designs are modelled against industry benchmarks based and research knowledge of F&B, Health Care, manufacturing and more. The result explores multiple futures, reduces risk, aligns quality processes to appropriate equipment and sustainable outcomes that are cost efficient and effective. DMAIC – Design what to solve input/output, Measure the root cause, collect data, Analise the situation, Improve the system/process, Control the process, document, pass on.

Concept menus is a process that validates design to project vision/consultant alignment. This often leads to discoveries that transform the vision into designs that increases operational profitability and exceed client expectations.
