As the Design Manager at Avantgarde Tiling, I lead the design team with a focus on the practical execution of our projects. My role involves extensive coordination with various stakeholders, ensuring that designs are produced on time and meet high-quality standards while remaining clear and comprehensive. I actively engage with clients throughout the design process, aiming to meet their expectations and aligning design with their vision and budget. I oversee the entire design process, from concepts to technical design, to handover of design deliverables, whilst all along reviewing design against industry standards and HSE regulations. Part of my responsibilities includes monitoring design work against agreed programmes and as such ensuring that design information is available and accessible at the right time by relevant stakeholders inclusive of design team and fabrication/construction teams. I am passionate by reducing waste in all it’s forms, both in the design process and construction process, and as such I strive to employ proven practices that can minimize waste throughout the construction lifeline.
