Team curation

Curation of design and engineering teams

We help the developer define the specialties required, select qualified and mutually compatible professionals, and coordinate the work under direct contracts with the client.

Service scope

Rigorous team selection and seamless coordination

The client appoints each specialist directly: we help choose the right team for your project and coordinate the work between everyone.

Map of needs and specialties

We identify the engineering disciplines essential to the building’s scale and use, avoiding gaps or overlaps.

Design specifications

We draft clear terms of reference with the scope, the phases set out in Portaria 255/2023, file formats and delivery duties.

Qualifications and legal licensing

We confirm active registration with the professional associations, valid insurance and the licensing required by Lei 31/2009.

Support for direct appointment

We prepare comparative proposal reports and define the technical scope, deadlines and deliverables for each direct contract.

Coordination and shared schedule

We coordinate technical interfaces, information flows and the shared delivery schedule between architecture and engineering.

Deliverable monitoring and closeout

We check the final deliverables against what was contracted, supporting technical validation before fees are settled.
