About Strategic Design International Architects LLP (aka SDI Architects Pte Ltd)

SDI has a certain balance of depth and width. Being a modest size studio outfit with 4 QPs at the helm, we are grateful for a wealth of experience in our staff strength ranging from those who have journeyed with us for the past 20 years as well as new blood that join us periodically to add new vigour and perspectives. SDI is BIM ready and has expertise on this since embarking on this upgrading process for the last 3 years. BIM is forward looking as it is a tool to anticipate potential clashes between the various building services as well as an integrative tool of modelling to speed up the drawing process. SDI believes in doing each project well more than doing a lot of projects. We are focused on each development stage of a project whilst keeping a global view to the Client’s overall design objectives. Time and cost are significant factors that drive a project besides working relationship with all parties in a project. SDI treats all parties like good business partners whilst performing the contractual and statutory roles the Architect plays in leading the teams. Being pro-active means planning forward and frequent dialogues with the client, team consultants and authorities to iron out problems before they occur. In this way, we avoid fire-fighting and spend more productive time in design development and smoother project management. As a result, we are grateful to most of our clients are return clients who have also recommended new clients to us. Architecture is not an administrative job of assembling design tasks to meet a deadline. Simply put, it needs to rise above the mundane to have design well thought through in the face of various constraints so that the result is more enduring.
