Bauke Vree appointed as Design Management Lead
TBIG is continuing to widen its suite of services by investing in a specialised Design Management service with the appointment of senior professional Bauke Vree as Design Management Lead. He brings over 25 years international experience in design management and project management to bring these disciplines together into a synergistic offering for our clients.
Bauke took the Design Lead role on TBIG’s behalf for the $300M+ Scott Base Redevelopment for Antarctica New Zealand, bringing a project of this magnitude through to the completion of the design phase.
Bauke is now embarking on projects of scale at TBIG and bringing a unique skill set based on three decades of working primarily in the Design and Build space in the Netherlands, the UK and New Zealand.
“I have a passion for design management and the world of construction. As a Design Manager you should be able to manage the design team in such a way that they provide the client with options and solutions in response to what those stakeholders ask of them and, it’s being able to present those options so that the client can make informed decisions. With good solid Design Management what we bring to the client is making sure that all the right inputs are there from the right parties during the design process so there are no gaps whilst maintaining programme.”
“The design process is creative and iterative, as opposed to the construction process which is sequential and very exact. Good Design Management is bringing both these worlds together that are trying to achieve the same objectives but have very different approaches. Bringing both together in a cohesive whole drives the strongest project outcomes.”
