Independent Design Review. Strategic guidance and protection for the client in architecture and design

Design Review Services

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.

What is an ADR?

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.

Collaborative Approach

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.

Architect & Design with Context in Mind

Do I need a Design Review if I already have an architect?

Yes. A design review provides an independent layer of assurance, ensuring proposals meet compliance and client objectives without bias. They can be used for residential, commercial, hospitality or other properties.

Yes. We review architecture, interiors, master planning, landscape, and external works for safety, compliance, and performance.

Ideally at early design stages, but Arghco can review proposals at concept, planning, tender, or construction documentation phases.
