Our Strengths
INTERNATIONAL DESIGN
KGD is a global establishment connecting with people and places with ideas that come
from many minds and imaginations. KGD delivers reliable, innovative, technology-driven
solutions and services through a team of positive thinking, joyful and empowered
professionals. Knowledge and understanding of materials is an integrated part of our
design which gives us freedom to explore new spatiality and materials. Each of our
projects is carefully tailor made to deliver unique, innovative and sustainable solutions
that reflect the needs of our clients while still enabling responsible stewardship towards
the public at large.
INTEGRATED PRACTICE
KGD understands and acknowledges that in today’s modern times, Architecture,
Engineering and Technology go hand in hand to achieve a holistic and sustainable
building Design. KGD successfully established a fully integrated practice which includes,
Master Planning, Architecture, Interior Design, Engineering, Landscape and Contract
Management. In addition, KGD is offering Project Management Consulting to help our
clients with a fully integrated Design and Build solution.
Our Design Concepts are amalgamated with the design philosophy and approach of
engineering and technology from the start itself. This approach helped us to visualize the
complete project in a virtual environment and even tie back the construction schedule
thus giving our clients a 98% drawings and documents accuracy to execute their projects
in a time sensitive manner.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Designing is incomplete until we have a sustainable design in place, which binds the
structure for a longer time. The priority of a well accomplished project Infrastructure
is to minimize any step that could affect the building framework in future. Our design
philosophy is based on sustainable design to comply with the principles of social,
economic, and ecological sustainability. We reduce negative environmental impact
completely through skillful, sensitive design that we call Sustainable Design.
KGD uses cutting edge Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology to seamlessly
combine art and science, and create spaces for varied uses across multiple geographical
boundaries. This in turn provides our clients with la arger picture of the layout and gives
them confidence in initiating the work process. Kgd designers also make sure that proper
implementation of the design takes place during the construction phase. Precision
tracking of the finished work follows later.
QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALTITY CONTROL
Quality Assurance and Quality Check are the most important parts of the KGD check list.
The firm has checks and balances at every stage of the project and at every level of
employee contribution to the project, which helps cut down redundancies of project
related QA/QC processes. These processes for QA/QC are as per global standards
and are implemented all over the world, to support large-scale projects with multiple
stake holders to be executed in a timely and cost effectively. Therefore, to maintain the
international standards in our work, every step and process is scrutinized in detail.
Even the nitty-gritty or the smallest error is brought under the scanner and a solution
is provided to rectify it. The process is subtle yet sophisticated and no structural flaw is
left unturned. The engineers are also well equipped to quarantine a given situation and
maximize the usage of utilities available. An exclusive team makes sure that nothing
is left out, thus giving our clients a new level of peace and satisfaction with their projects.
