Moving at the Speed of Business

About Design Consulting

Design Consulting is an Australian design, engineering and technology consultancy helping organisations turn ideas into real-world products, projects and business outcomes.

From initial concept and design through engineering, validation, production, commercialisation and ongoing optimisation, we connect the people, technology and systems required to deliver smarter end-to-end solutions.

Our philosophy is simple: Move at the Speed of Business.

That means being responsive, practical and focused on delivering solutions that help our clients design better, work smarter, reduce complexity and achieve measurable outcomes.

Design. Engineering. Technology. Business.

Modern projects and businesses depend on more than individual software applications or isolated services.

Design, engineering, manufacturing, construction, sales and business operations increasingly rely on connected technology, data and workflows.

Design Consulting brings these disciplines together.

Our capabilities span design and engineering services, CAD and BIM software, engineering analysis, visualisation, product configuration, programming, AI, automation, cloud infrastructure, CRM, ERP, accounting and business management systems, websites, eCommerce, marketing systems, training and business consulting.

Idea to Outcome

Great products, projects and businesses rarely begin with a complete specification. They begin with an idea, an opportunity, a problem that needs solving or an existing process that could work better.

Design Consulting can support clients at an individual stage or help develop an integrated solution across the complete lifecycle.

Idea → Concept → Design → Engineer → Validate → Produce → Sell → Operate → Optimise

Autodesk Gold Partner

Design Consulting is a trusted Autodesk Gold Partner and Autodesk Service Provider that Moves at the Speed of Business with responsiveness, expertise and innovative solutions.

Design Consulting empowers architects, engineers, manufacturers, and builders with smart software, automation, and digital tools that provide Autodesk end to end solutions that are connected with systems and machines. 

As an Autodesk Gold Partner, we deliver tailored solutions that simplify workflows, reduce costs, and drive better project outcomes.

Based in Australia, with our Head Office in Melbourne, we have team members in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland and conduct business on-site or remotely with cutting edge solutions that optimise their business.

Our team is across most Autodesk industries, most with over 10 years experience in Autodesk solutions and an in-house development team to customise Autodesk software and build apps on Autodesk applications, CRM and ERP systems.

Our customers are of all sizes and we work with some of the biggest names and brands nationally and internationally supplying technology, services, management, configurators and visualisation systems.

One Connected Solution

One of the biggest opportunities for modern organisations is removing the barriers between design, engineering and business systems.

A manufacturer, for example, may begin with a new product idea.

We can help develop the concept, create the 3D design, engineer and analyse the product, prepare it for manufacturing, create interactive visualisation and configuration tools, connect configuration with pricing and quoting, integrate product information with ERP and production systems, and build the digital systems required to take that product to market.

For architecture, engineering, construction and infrastructure organisations, the same connected approach can link concept development, BIM, engineering, analysis, documentation, project delivery, data management, construction workflows and ongoing operations.

The objective is a more connected digital environment where information can move efficiently from one stage of the business to the next.

Turnkey Solutions Without the Complexity

Not every capability required to bring an idea to market needs to sit within one company.

Where a project requires additional specialist knowledge, Design Consulting can coordinate with appropriate external professionals and partners across areas such as intellectual property, patents, legal services, certification, compliance, specialist engineering and manufacturing.

This allows us to remain focused on our core capabilities while helping clients coordinate the wider expertise required to move a project forward.

Who We Work With

Design Consulting works with organisations of all sizes across Australia and internationally, from businesses looking to solve a specific technology challenge through to major organisations implementing sophisticated design, engineering and management systems.

Our expertise spans:

Architecture

Connecting concept design, CAD, BIM, visualisation, documentation, collaboration and project information.

Engineering

Supporting engineering design, analysis, simulation, automation, technical documentation and connected engineering workflows.

Construction

Connecting design information with estimating, coordination, project delivery, documentation and construction workflows.

Manufacturing

Helping manufacturers move from product concept and engineering through validation, configuration, production, ERP, sales and continuous improvement.

Civil Engineering & Infrastructure

Supporting civil design, analysis, documentation, data management and digital project delivery across infrastructure projects.

Property & Development

Connecting feasibility, design, visualisation, project information, business systems and digital customer experiences throughout the development lifecycle.

Australian Expertise, Global Capability

Design Consulting is based in Australia, with our head office in Melbourne and team members across Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland.

We work with clients both on-site and remotely, enabling us to deliver consulting, implementation, development, support and training to organisations throughout Australia and internationally.

Why Design Consulting?

The difference is our ability to look beyond an individual product or piece of software.

We consider the product, project, people, processes, technology and business systems around it.

How will it be designed? How will it be engineered and validated? How will it be manufactured or constructed? How will customers interact with it? How will it be configured and priced? How will information flow into CRM and ERP? What can be automated? Where can AI provide value? How will performance be measured and improved?

By considering these questions together, we can help clients create solutions that are designed not only to work, but to be successfully delivered, sold, managed and continuously improved.
