Collaborative design coordination led by builders
Design with Moltus
Canberra ACT·Brisbane QLD·Service 02 / 05
Design with Moltus delivers collaborative design solutions that align functionality, compliance and cost efficiency. We bridge the gap between vision and buildability — so the design that gets approved is the design that gets built.

How We DesignMoltus
How We Design
How we lead a coordinated design.
Design with Moltus is led by people who build. We chair the design team, hold consultants to scope, and run cost and constructability checks against every iteration — so design intent, code compliance and budget arrive at construction together, not in conflict.
01
Brief translated into a buildable concept
We capture the brief — business drivers, budget, programme and operations — and translate it into a concept that can be costed, approved and built without rework.
02
Cost and code tested at every stage
Concept, schematic and developed design stages each carry a parallel cost check and a code/buildability review, so issues are resolved on paper instead of on site.
03
One design lead, one accountable team
Architectural, structural, services and finishes consultants are managed under one design lead — drawings, RFIs and approvals tracked against one programme and one cost plan.
DeliveryMoltus
Design Engagement Models
Design support at every stage.
Use us to lead a full design team, run a buildability review on a developing design, hold a single-point D&C contract, or work up structured value-engineering options for a costed scheme.
01
Design Management
We chair the design team — running meetings, tracking drawings and holding consultants to scope and programme.
02
Buildability Review
Independent constructability review of a developing design — flagging cost, programme and code risks early.
03
Value Engineering
Structured cost reduction options without losing design intent — written up with trade-offs for sign-off.
04
Design & Construct Lead
We hold a single-point D&C contract, novate the consultants and run design through to construction.
Where Design Matters MostMoltus
Where Design Matters Most
Where good design protects the project.
Design coordination pays back hardest at the points where a single decision moves cost, programme and compliance — early concept, code review and the transition into construction documentation.
01
Workplace and corporate fitout design
Workplace strategy, reception, collaboration zones, meeting suites and end-of-trip — coordinated with landlord base-build, IT cabling and FF&E procurement.
02
Retail, hospitality and food & beverage
Shopfront, café and restaurant designs coordinated with centre management requirements, kitchen exhaust strategy, services capacity and brand fit-off.
03
Education, health and community
Education, allied-health and community designs coordinated against accreditation requirements, infection-control finishes and accessible-design standards.
ProcessMoltus
How We Deliver
A design process that protects the build.
Brief, concept, schematic, developed design, approvals and construction documentation — each stage carries a cost, code and buildability check before progressing.
Stage 01
Brief & workshop
We capture the brief, business drivers, budget and programme in writing before any drawing starts.
Stage 02
Concept & feasibility
Concept options tested for cost, code and buildability — with trade-offs documented for the client team.
Stage 03
Schematic & DD
Documentation progresses through schematic and developed design with parallel cost and constructability checks.
Stage 04
Approvals
Town planning, building approval, landlord and authority sign-offs managed end-to-end.
Stage 05
Construction documentation
Coordinated drawings, specifications and schedules issued for construction with no late surprises.
Stage 06
Design support on site
We stay in the chair through construction — RFIs, shop drawings and design changes managed against intent.
Why MoltusMoltus
Why Moltus
Why choose Moltus to lead your design.
Most design coordination is run by people who have never built the work. We run it as builders — so the design that gets approved is the design that can actually be costed, procured and built.
01
Builder-led design coordination
Every drawing is checked through the lens of how it will be tendered, sequenced and built — so design ambition lands without late-stage redesign.
02
Cost and code tested in parallel
Concept, schematic and DD stages each carry a parallel cost and code check — so the design that progresses is the design that can be built within budget and approved.
03
One accountable design lead
Architects, engineers and services consultants are managed under one design lead and one programme — no consultant silos, no missing drawings at IFC.
