'Creating passageways to the past'.
Our design approach identified areas of conflict (old vs new) and provided a spatial strategy to achieve a solution by preserving elements of the historical Malay camp road network. The design provided the opportunity for exchange, interaction, dialogue and a window to the past.

So..., the final guidelines for professional fees was gazetted last year on the 7th August 2020.

Have you had a look at them, are you using them, and are they practical for the type of work that you do?

With the start of the new year, one has to evaluate their pricing strategy and assess whether it's working or whatever it might need some changes.

What pricing strategy are you using?

"Branding is important because not only is it what makes a memorable impression on consumers but it allows your customers and clients to know what to expect from your company. It is a way of distinguishing yourself from your competitors and clarifying what it is you offer that makes you the better choice."

Mentorship plays a critical role in career development. So I thought I'd take a moment to say a massive thank you to my mentor. you made a huge impact on my career and I'm so very grateful that our paths crossed.

Hopefully, we can work together again someday.

Design renders for a Pharmaceutical factory in 2018'. Unfortunately this project hasn't come to fruition. But this happens. Sometimes clients have big dreams but don't actually realise the construction cost of the project and other logistics such as engineers fees, QS fees, town planning fees and so forth.
