Design and Engineering
At Zenith, we specialize in corporate, interior, and industrial design, supporting our clients at every step of this phase to ensure they receive a product and result aligned with their needs and requirements.
Our design process is structured into different stages to ensure its successful completion.
- Pre-Design: We conduct the necessary research to understand our clients’ actual needs.
- Schematic Design: We provide basic architectural and engineering support to create the first draft, presenting the concept for the new facilities. This stage also includes assistance with permitting and regulatory processes.
- Design Development: We focus on refining the design, including conceptual mapping, zoning, and material selection.
- Final Stage: We deliver the Construction Documents or Executive Project.
Our expertise covers a broad range of projects, from civil and structural works to architectural design and engineering, including MEP, Special Systems, Landscaping, and more.
We have the capability to offer project development across different platforms and BIM modeling, implementing VDC technologies.
We provide value engineering in design, client-specific specifications, and solutions tailored to any project need.
