​THE BEGINNING

IN 2010 Architect Artur Sousa founds DIMSCALE® 
     The aim was to build a company with differentiated services,
looking after the client's ROI as if our own, by identifying flaws in the market
which we saw were tangling with our customers expenditures.
  Having then already two decades of experience in Quantity Surveying,
​Project Management and deep Construction Solutions,
Artur decides to widen his technical expertise by taking a Master`s in
Architecture plus an Expertise in Financial Management and Cost Engineering. 
​Soon after, the pioneer concept Architecture Cost Management® is born.

APPROACH

CONCEPT

​To talk about Architecture and Construction without ever mentioning cost overruns is basically mission impossible !   In fact, the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray and the dynamics of Architecture and Construction are extremely complex and often present uncontrollable challenges!
​

Over the years Project Management Consultants have been integrating Cost Management into their services to fill this market flaw with a proper solution.  As a result, DIMSCALE® has developed a pioneer Cost Management model mainly performed by Architects.  The knowledge that Architects have and their complete understanding of a Project, is truly irreplaceable - where a financial consultant sees numbers, an Architect sees many other variables that can have consequences on the Project`s functionality, maintenance, needs quality and concept... plus it has been lots of fun training DIMSCALE® Architects the Art of Cost Management!

The real cost of a Project is well hidden within different aspects. During the Design Phase e.g. one solution cannot be switched over to another solution lightly and there is a lot more beyond the estimating process than just the "market price tag".  An Architect is surely the best person to understand a Project`s concept. 
​

In practice. the management of the Project is done at the architectural category level, being the optimization of the capital invested in the design and control of all costs throughout the development phases and execution the main objectives, allowing continuous improvement to be made both at the initial design and in the ongoing optimization, offering highly significant cost savings, whilst keeping the focus on safeguarding the architectural concept and the final quality of the Project.  Identification of incongruences and missing information, as well as the compatibility between different specialties are exactitudes DIMSCALE® is constantly attentive to and corrects... as the Devil is in the detail.
