Consultancy Design

DEHUM provides a comprehensive consultancy and design service, specializing in the delivery of complete, turnkey solutions tailored to diverse applications.

With a strong focus on innovation and precision, DEHUM excels in developing bespoke systems designed to address complex challenges and niche requirements. The company follows the RIBA Plan of Work design stages — from initial preparation and concept design through to technical development, construction, and handover — ensuring a structured, transparent, and client-focused approach throughout the project lifecycle.

Committed to engineering excellence, DEHUM continuously adopts the latest advancements in design technology, ensuring each solution meets the highest standards of performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability.

What is Consultancy Design

As experts in environmental and humidity control, DEHUM recognizes that complex projects demand a structured, methodical approach. To achieve this, we integrate the RIBA Plan of Work into our consultation projects, ensuring clarity, precision, and efficiency throughout the process. We utilize advanced SolidWorks 3D CAD software to create detailed models and drawings, enhancing the design visualization and ensuring complete accuracy from concept to completion.

The RIBA Plan of Work outlines eight key stages of a project’s lifecycle, providing a structured framework to guide the design, development, and delivery of projects. For DEHUM’s specialized engineering services — particularly in humidity control, environmental management, and bespoke system design — these stages can be tailored to ensure a seamless, efficient, and results-driven process. Let’s break it down:

The Consultancy Design Process

Crafting our 3D models takes a lot of research. That’s why it goes hand in hand with our site surveys, which involve assessing the application and collecting a lot of data so that the system we design does what you need it to.

Our design software package also allows us to import the clients’ existing CAD and DWG files which can then be incorporated into our 3D models and layouts. This is a huge bonus for us, as we can show clients exactly how their new system will fit into the application. Showing them a perfect scale model of their factory, warehouse, or building makes our presentations much clearer.

Here’s an example of the type of model we create:

Stage 0: Strategic Definition

Objective: Establish the project’s strategic vision and assess feasibility, aligning with the client’s overarching operational and environmental goals.

DEHUM’s Approach:

• Facilitate in-depth consultations to capture environmental control challenges and performance expectations.
• Define key performance indicators (KPIs) such as humidity regulation, energy efficiency, and sustainability objectives.
• Conduct a high-level infrastructure assessment to outline strategic solutions and potential pathways.

Stage 4: Technical Design

Objective: Finalize a technically advanced, fully detailed design ready for manufacturing and system implementation.

DEHUM’s Approach:

• Generate precision-driven manufacturing drawings, assembly instructions, and system specifications using SolidWorks 3D CAD modelling.
• Define and finalize automation sequences and control system architecture to ensure seamless integration and operation.
• Deliver energy efficiency assessments, ensuring full compliance with industry regulations and environmental standards.

________________________________________

Stage 5: Manufacturing and Construction

Objective: Oversee the manufacturing and installation phases to ensure adherence to design specifications and project timelines.

DEHUM’s Approach:

• Partner with trusted manufacturing suppliers to ensure all components meet specification and quality standards.
• Implement an installation schedule that prioritizes minimal disruption to client operations.
• Verify all system installations adhere to design documentation, performance criteria, and safety standards.

________________________________________

Stage 6: Handover and Close Out

Objective: Ensure systems are fully operational, validated, and primed for long-term performance.

DEHUM’s Approach:

• Conduct comprehensive testing, commissioning, and performance verification.
• Provide tailored training sessions for client teams, ensuring effective system operation and maintenance.
• Deliver thorough handover documentation, including user manuals, performance reports, and maintenance schedules.
