Expertise

Our interdisciplinary approach to problem solving integrates research, design and sharing of knowledge, crossing traditional boundaries to explore innovative ideas for problem solving. Research informs design; design produces results; results are shared and in turn, inform future endeavors.

RAD Consultants’ expertise in rigorous research is the foundation for evidence-based design for facilities, products, and services, closing the loop on the design process. Our research methodologies are specific to the research questions(s) or hypotheses, using a multi-method research design to increase the validity and reliability of the outcomes. Research provides data to use as a market differentiator, answers specific questions about design ideas, and validates the design solution by measuring outcomes such as building performance, life-cycle cost analysis, and occupant outcomes.
