As technology continues to advance, so must we. That’s why QODA runs regular training programmes to ensure the capabilities of our talented team remain ahead of the curve. Not only do the latest developments have an impact on the mechanical, electrical and sustainable areas of building design, but they also change the tools we use within our offices.
Our projects often involve the design of complex systems that include state-of-the-art audio visual technologies, sensitive environmental constraints or critical power and air conditioning systems. In each case, we have the experience and knowledge to understand how technology can best solve all of the issues for our clients.
We believe the secret to making the most of technology is by striving to keep solutions as simple as possible, and always resisting the temptation to over-design. By taking this approach, we make the latest technologies work for us rather than the other way around.
