What It Is
Design Validation & Peer Review is a critical coordination activity that ensures ICT infrastructure aligns with building systems and project constraints.
RIBA Stages
We support RIBA Stages 2–4: from concept design through technical design. Early involvement prevents costly conflicts and rework.

Ideally at RIBA Stage 2 (Concept Design) to influence routing, power provision, and cooling planning before detailed design locks in.
A clash report identifies where ICT cable routes, racks, or equipment conflict with mechanical ducts, electrical runs, or plumbing. Early detection saves rework costs.
Yes. We support from concept through detailed design (RIBA 2–4) and are available during build-out for design queries or change justification.
