RIBA 4
Design, development & procurement services
Our industry now recognises that design and build (D&B) without effective risk management can result in a poor-quality and unsafe design. We assist clients by helping them to develop, control and manage the design and specification of their buildings.
We encourage risk management to ensure clients get the best value and will innovate as required in respect of optimum procurement solutions.

Even on developments below 18m, many clients accept our recommendation to procure after RIBA Stage 3+ or 4. Robust due diligence, design reviews, fire strategies and technically coordinated developed design will reduce contractor risk pricing and gain better value.
While two-stage tendering can achieve this, Airey Miller has the skills to manage this process and enable a single-stage tender. We collectively and proactively manage the professional team to meet both budget and time exactly as a developer’s construction management team would.
Our experience and knowledge allow us to offer many alternative procurement strategies for a variety of solutions meeting key client needs.
