Material shortages and price spikes can throw even the best construction schedules off course. A smart design strategy is your first defence. Design Works starts by researching market conditions and material availability during early project planning. This helps us propose flexible structural and mechanical solutions—whether that means choosing between steel, timber or concrete, or designing HVAC and electrical systems that can accommodate alternative equipment if suppliers run short.

We use advanced modelling tools to test how different materials and systems affect costs, performance and timelines, ensuring that substitutions won’t compromise quality or code compliance. Early collaboration also gives you time to lock in long lead‑time items and coordinate with suppliers before the spring rush. The result? Projects that stay on track and deliver value, even when global supply chains are unpredictable. Let’s build resilience into your next project.
