Concurrent Design Engineering™

Highest quality per dollar

Concurrent Design Engineering is the discipline of bringing architectural, site, material, labor, and budget decisions together at the same time — before money is committed on-site. It complements the architect’s design and resolves the interferences and assumptions that, left unchecked, become cost overruns and schedule slip.

Magister Operis builds, on a computer, a complete 3-D model of the project — site, foundation, structure, mechanicals, finishes — and uses it to coordinate every trade against a single source of truth. The model counts members, reads surfaces, and produces precise quantities, so estimates stop being guesses.

What it changes on a project

Interferences caught early

Fit, geometry, and code clashes are detected and resolved in the design phase — not on the jobsite where they cost real money.

Predictable budgets

Counts of members and surface quantities replace guesstimates. Material schedules cut waste, and timelines align with actual manufacture, delivery, and install sequences.

One coordinated build

Site, foundation, structure, mechanical, and finish systems are synchronized in a single digital prototype before anyone breaks ground.

Trade-specific output

Each trade receives the precise information needed for its scope — no more, no less. Components are labeled for fast install and future reference.

This does not replace the architect. Concurrent Design Engineering takes over where most architects and engineers leave off — the coordination, optimization, and constructibility work that determines whether the design actually builds well. It works with any style or complexity of architecture.

Scope of capability

Engineering

Multi-discipline, concurrent across structural, mechanical, and site — with storm, disaster, and sustainability considerations built in.

Manufacturing of components

Flexible architectural production with machine-accurate precision and component labeling.

Construction management

Real-time coordination with all parties — trained and equipped to build, not to dictate.

Installation

Coordinated components, labeled for easy install, connected with motivated personnel and warranty-able workmanship.

Renovation and expansion

Fast, accurate assessment of as-built conditions, with site, material, and trade optimization that minimizes cost and downtime.
