Concept & scheme design

Getting a project right in the early phases is crucial for a good outcome; no amount of tweaking, review, or auditing can recover from a concept that isn’t right. You need a very experienced team for these early project phases and at ViaStrada, you are dealing with the experts. We take your project objectives or problem definition and turn them into concept and scheme designs that will work.
