What DMWR did

DMWR Architects were appointed by contractor RG Group post-planning to develop the Stage 3 design and produce full construction information.

Acting as lead designer and BIM coordinator, DMWR used Revit/BIM to coordinate and deliver a fully integrated construction package, ensuring design precision and buildability across the complex multi-building scheme.

The Outcome

The development provides high-quality student accommodation with a rich mix of amenities and landscaped outdoor spaces, enhancing the student experience and contributing positively to Oxford’s urban fabric.

DMWR’s technical expertise and BIM-led approach ensured smooth delivery of construction information for this large-scale project.
