Digital Design Review Panel

Meetings are available and can be booked online

Design Reviews are delivered by Zoom online conferencing, all participants can be seen at the same time, share documents, point to drawings etc. Other applications such as Microsoft Teams or Cisco Webex can also be used if preferred. A Participants Guide is available to support the process.

Virtual site visits allow the architect to provide fly-through animation with satellite and street view images – and a well-appointed Panel with local knowledge enhances the discussion.
