Design Management
Delivering clarity, alignment, and project success
Expert Design Management for Seamless Project Delivery
At Upscale, our design management ensures architectural integrity is maintained from concept through delivery.
We've overseen complex projects like the Vibe Hotel, managing structural and service challenges on a constrained 550 m² site in Darling Harbour.
Our experience on the Parramatta school redevelopment included coordinating architects, contractors, and government stakeholders during a live-site transition.
Protecting Your Vision Across Every Sector
On the Cooper Street Apartments project, we maintained design intent post-DA, navigating tender changes and delivery-stage adjustments without compromise.
We led the planning and coordination for Sydney Water's $42M laboratory relocation, managing specialist consultants and modular lab requirements.
Across health, education, and commercial sectors, our team protects your vision -- balancing functionality, cost, and design excellence at every stage.
