Murray Cockburn Partnership

nce is given to clients at the outset of each project to formulate a definitive brief of requirements such that the design problem is fully understood at the onset and before the preliminary designs are prepared. This thorough understanding forms the basis for the development of the project through the various stages to successful completion. The qualifications and experience of the Principal demonstrate a special ability with
projects where design excellence is essential. The caliber and ability of Murray Cockburn Partnership is such that we are able to blend creative interpretation of a client's brief with functional planning and efficient, business-like performance all within strict budget control. Emphasis is placed on the prompt production of contract documents and working drawings. In times of significant increases in construction costs, with many projects, the rapid production of contract documents has saved clients a large proportion if not all of the Architect's Fee through calling tenders months earlier than would usually occur. In response to the increasing complex needs of our Clients, Murray Cockburn Partnership provides a broad spectrum of professional architectural consultant services. The client is assisted in the establishment of a development brief, continuing with the preparation of feasibility studies, design drawings, cost planning, working drawings and specifications, co-ordination of consultants and obtaining permits, calling tenders and advising thereon, supervision of construction, all with constant cost and time control through to finalisation of all accounts. In addition to the above, the firm provides project reports, 3D modelling, master planning, economic viability assessments, site selection, interior design, graphic design, restoration and building preservation, valuations and arbitration. MCP currently employs 1 architect, 1 Interior designer and 2 further experienced technical staff in Fiji and in response to both the volume and nature of the work in the past, the firm has expanded to almost twice the size. In addition to the full time staff, MCP has the ability to call on several contract architectural and technical staff who can be amalgamated into a project team on and as required basis.
