Independent Design Review. Strategic guidance and protection for the client in architecture and design
Arghco provides independent design review services across architecture, interior design, exterior design, master planning, and landscape architecture. Our role is to assess proposals for compliance, functionality, and long-term performance, ensuring that design intent not only aligns with client goals but also meets statutory, safety, and quality standards.
An Architectural and Design Review (ADR) is a structured process that evaluates the quality, compliance, and performance of proposed designs before construction begins. The objective is to ensure that projects satisfy statutory requirements, align with client goals, and embody best practice in architecture, sustainability, and user experience.
Acting as independent reviewers on behalf of the Client, Arghco brings together and coordinates all design inputs to minimise risk, prevent deviations from design intent during construction, and deliver buildings that are safe, functional, and enduring. Our proactive approach safeguards clients from cost overruns, compliance failures, and unnecessary delays, while adding value through clarity, accountability, and design excellence.
While we primarily work with Clients directly, we can also work alongside architects, engineers, and designers as a supportive partner, not an obstacle. Our feedback is constructive, practical, and aimed at strengthening design intent rather than undermining it. This collaborative approach builds trust and ensures that every stakeholder benefits from the review process.
With experience across Ireland, the UK, Spain, Portugal, Jordan, and Dubai, Arghco brings international best practice into every design review. This global perspective allows us to benchmark your project against the highest standards in architecture, interiors, and urban design.
Choosing Arghco for Architectural and Design Review Services means working with a partner who combines international project experience with in-depth local knowledge. We deliver impartial, practical advice that strengthens projects and protects client investment.
Beyond statutory roles, Arghco provides specialist advisory services that help clients navigate the complexities of construction projects with clarity and confidence. Our advisory approach is tailored to each project, offering practical guidance that supports compliance, efficiency, and successful delivery. By combining technical expertise with industry insight, we act as trusted advisors from project initiation through to completion.
