How We Work

  • Working with Jason and his team is a refreshing experience. His focus on integrating the entire project delivery team to collaborate and effectively drive success not only for his clients, but the rest of the project team, coupled with the drive for improvement and the discipline to get things done sets VFR apart.

Enhanced Collaboration

By promoting a project-first culture, we ensure all stakeholders work closely together from start to finish.

This unity fosters a seamless flow of ideas and decisions that truly support the project's objectives, contrasting with the disjointed outcomes of traditional siloed approaches. We promote extreme transparency among our stakeholders and to elicit ‘what if’ contributions from everyone involved in our projects

Structured Decision-Making

Through a meticulous process, we focus decision-making on achieving the best outcomes, eliminating ambiguity and inefficiency.

Every choice made is with a clear goal in mind, leading to streamlined project execution. We enable rich debate of the relative advantages of the possible solutions to an issue by first securing concurrence on the facts surrounding the question. All decisions are subjective, and are more sound when anchored to facts

Budget-Aligned Design

From the very beginning, designs are crafted with the project's budget at the forefront. This preemptive alignment prevents the common scenario of falling in love with unaffordable designs, keeping projects financially feasible without compromising on vision. Cost is an input to design, not only the result of design ideation.

Integrated Project Lifecycle

Our strategy ensures a cohesive journey through the project's lifecycle, with a keen focus on continuity and efficiency from planning to execution. This addresses the common disconnect between phases, creating a smooth transition and reducing inefficiencies. We start with the end (and by “end” we mean the usable life cycle of the asset we’re helping to create) in mind, and rigorously test all ideas against the criteria of delivering excellence for our owners and their occupants.
