The whole process, or only the part you need.
Architecture and engineering are not two departments: they are the same project. Every service can be commissioned on its own, in a tailored combination or as the full turnkey process. The client always has a single point of contact.
Integrated design
Architecture, interiors and building services in one project, from concept to construction documents.
- Concept and architectural design
- Interiors, bespoke furniture, lighting, materials
- HVAC, electrical, plumbing, special systems, automation
- Energy, fire safety, refurbishment of existing buildings
The project is born complete: architecture, interiors and services are conceived together from the first sketch, so technical choices never arrive later to correct formal ones. We deliver concept, developed and construction design with calculations, drawings, reports and specifications ready for contractors.
Structures and specialist disciplines
Developed with our network and integrated into the project, under one direction.
- Structures and geotechnics
- Acoustics and lighting design
- Sustainability, LEED, BREEAM, WELL
- Landscape and outdoor areas
Disciplines that require dedicated signatures are entrusted to professionals in our network and coordinated by IDEM. The client does not manage ten consultants: the client manages us.
Project and construction management
The financial and time direction of the project, from budget to handover.
- Programme and cost control
- Tendering and contracts
- Coordination of contractors and suppliers
- Owner's representative and outsourced technical office
We hold time, cost and quality together. We prepare tenders, compare bids, contract the builders, follow progress and report to the client with clear, regular updates. When the owner has no in-house technical office, IDEM becomes its owner's representative: coordinating designers and contractors, reviewing third party designs and bids, defending the client's interests in every meeting.
International site management
Dedicated teams for openings and roll-outs, with the same standard in every country.
- Continuous site presence
- Coordination with brand, store planning and landlord
- Management of local contractors and suppliers
- Opening and handover to the client
From the boutiques of New York and Las Vegas to the malls of Dubai and Jeddah: our site managers live the site every day, talk to the brand, the fit-out contractor and the landlord, and hand over the store ready to open.
Works supervision and safety
Control of the site up to commissioning.
- Architectural and services works supervision
- Health and safety coordination
- Commissioning and as-built
- Manuals and handover
Works supervision is the guarantee that what was designed gets built. We follow the site with scheduled visits, check materials and workmanship, manage safety and close with commissioning, conformity declarations and as-built documentation.
Local partner worldwide
Permits, authorisations and local certifications in every country where you open.
- Local architect and engineer of record
- Building permits, authorisations and compliance with local codes
- Systems, fire safety, accessibility certifications and commissioning to local standards
- Coordination with bureau de contrôle, landlord, authorities and local contractors
A brand opening in Paris, Geneva, Dubai or New York needs someone who knows the rules of that place and answers for them. IDEM covers the role of local partner, directly or with licensed professionals from our network, and hands you a project that is compliant, authorised and certified under the country's regulations.
Energy, incentives and grants
Energy audits, certifications and access to incentives and funding, in Italy and abroad.
- Energy audits, performance certificates, energy reports and compliance
- Certified energy manager (EGE) and building efficiency upgrades
- Incentives: Conto Termico, tax deductions, white certificates, regional and EU grants
- Support to municipalities and public bodies for PNRR and public grant applications
Energy is design and it is also finance. We measure consumption, design the efficiency upgrade and build the file that unlocks incentives: from the energy report to the grant application and the final reporting. For municipalities and public bodies we prepare complete applications, from technical due diligence to the feasibility design.
Survey, BIM and quantities
The measurable basis of every decision.
- Laser scanner and drone
- BIM models
- Bills of quantities and specifications
- Tender documents for contractors
A reliable project starts with a reliable survey. We survey with laser scanner and drone, build BIM models and produce quantities and specifications that contractors can really price.
