We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Jon Svikis from Dice Consulting Engineers Ltd to our latest ‘Lead Designer Toolbox Series’ conversation. The Lead Designer is our in-house learning programme that we are running to refine our service at Race Cottam Associates to ensure we maximise design opportunity, quality and value on all our projects.
Jon Svikis shared his structural engineering experience and perspective sparking some great discussions on how architects and structural engineers can work more seamlessly together. Key highlights from the session included:
- An understanding of information needed by the engineer at each RIBA stage
- A deep dive into challenges faced by both parties
- A crash course in structural concept design to assist our team in early concepts and initial layouts.
Swipe right on the image below to see takeaways shared by Jon Svikis and Paul Foster on why early collaboration, communication, and teamwork are key to delivering great design!
A huge thanks to Jon for sharing his valuable insights and making this session so impactful and enjoyable!
