LOW BUDGET PRE-DESIGN STUDY

Particularly in the early stages, when there is not yet a real project to speak off (the pre-design phase) but having a professional plan is necessary for meetings with shareholders and banks, the pre-design study, done by international specialists will have much added value. It will increase the success rate of the project.
With the help of a very functional and customized ColdStoreDesign.com Checklist in combination with internet and email, we save on (travel) expenses and can make a financially attractive offer.

For a concrete Pre-Design study offer, please fill out the special form and indicate what you want covered by the Pre-Design Study. It will strongly depend on what phase your project is in. Maybe you have done some homework and you want our experts to focus on group #2 below. Or perhaps your briefing will allow us to do just 3, 4 or 5. Everything is possible, just let us know what you are looking for.
The fee will be determined by the level of detail required.

If the investor already has a clear idea on the requirements of his future project and a Program of Demands or Scope of Work is available, the pre-design study can be omitted and the work can begin directly with the Final Design.

What output can be expected from a Pre-Design Study? Up to you to decide.
