MDA works together with the client to realise their workspace requirements so that it can achieve absolute satisfaction. It explores the untapped potential of the client’s specific project and maximises its value to provide a workplace that is practical and functional, while seamlessly meeting its vision, budget and timescale. W And before any of its properties go to the building stage, the firm takes the client on a virtual walk-through of the design using the latest technology so they can check it meets their vision and requirements, thus ensuring there are no surprises and that it is completely perfect in their eyes. A growing company, MDA believes in diversity bringing unique solutions and ideas to the table, along with mutual respect in creativity, in teamwork, in having fun, in being part of not just a firm, but as it likes to call it: the MDA family! It is a team that believes in leveraging the power of design to create a better world, striving to create ideas and buildings that are beautiful, but also kind to the planet and the people who use and surround them. However, the last year has presented business challenges in the form of COVID-19, with MDA fighting to keep itself running, while there were other businesses firing people and going bankrupt. MDA’s first priority was to ensure it kept all its staff safe and connected as a team. It learned to be flexible, with the help of technology, and its staff worked from home, having never been busier! Now, the office is finally back open and the next challenge the industry is facing is the cost of timber and other materials which have gone up in cost by 20%; it’s changes like this that MDA endeavours to keep its clients informed about, while providing creative solutions and keeping sustainability high on the list.
