Expertise/Ways of Working Together

Consortium

One team carries the work: what is settled in the first sketches reaches the site without being retold through third parties. Below — what the service covers, how it is run, and what comes out of it.

Why a consortium

No practice is the best at every discipline

A regional master plan asks for one combination of expertise, a resort for another, a large engineering object for a third, an urban regeneration for a fourth. We assemble the structure around the task rather than fitting the task to our own payroll.

Regional Master Plan

Territory

Master planning, mobility, the economics of the territory, landscape, sustainability.

Hospitality

Resort and hotel

Specialist architecture, hotel operator, interiors, local engineering.

Large-scale Engineering

Engineering object

Structure, building systems, specialist institutes, energy efficiency.

Urban Regeneration

Urban regeneration

Urbanism, the sociology of the environment, development economics, work with government.

The model

The core stays constant. The set changes

SAD carries the architecture, the design leadership and the local part of a project. Around that core, the disciplines this particular project needs are brought in for the task.

Expertise network

A network built around competences

The network grows with the projects. Below are the disciplines SAD brings external expertise into; the companies themselves appear here once a collaboration is confirmed.

Architecture

Architecture and design

Specialist practices for typologies that call for dedicated experience. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.

Urban

Master planning and urbanism

Teams working on territorial planning, mobility and urban economics. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.

Engineering

Engineering

Structural and services engineers and specialist institutes. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.

Landscape · Mobility

Landscape and mobility

Landscape architects and mobility specialists. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.

Hospitality · Economics

Operators and economics

Hotel operators and project economics consultants. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.

Sustainability · Research

Sustainability and research

Sustainability, certification and applied research consultants. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.

Two sides of one model

Expertise moves both ways

→ We bring expertise into the region

International teams for projects in Central Asia

For a task in Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan, SAD assembles an international consortium and carries the project as the architectural practice and the centre of responsibility.

  • Assembling the team around the task
  • SAD's architecture and design leadership
  • Coordinating participants and stages
  • Support through to delivery

← We help expertise enter the region

Local Partner for international companies

International architecture, engineering, consulting and development companies work in the region through the Local Partner model.

  • Codes and requirements
  • Approvals and permit coordination
  • Local engineering
  • Dealing with government bodies
  • Support through delivery
The SAD model

A consortium is the Project Hub in practice

Project Hub states the principle: one centre of responsibility and a network of expertise around it. A consortium is what that principle looks like in a particular project: who takes part, and how roles and stages are split.

Partner with SAD

Open to professional collaboration

If your practice is looking at Central Asia, or holds expertise that would make SAD's projects stronger, there is something to talk about.

Architecture firms

Joint authorship, competitions, entering the region's market

Engineering companies

Specialist sections and large objects

Consultants

Economics, mobility, sustainability, landscape

Operators

Hospitality, retail, public functions
