Why CDIS-KARM?

CDIS-KARM have a proud history of successful design and project management for many leading clients, however, as with any service relationship we are mindful that this situation can only prosper by achieving your required service level.

One of our unique selling points is our understanding of the sustainable, economic, environmental and social responsibilities that face us and our client’s and our ability to incorporate these aspects through the design process bringing moral and financial gains for the client and their customers.

Given the ever more demanding world in which we live, we believe that you have more than enough to concentrate on, with the day to day running of your business without the added burden of taking on the equally demanding design and project work. Our aim is to work with you to establish the parameters within which the project needs to work; offer advice and guidance as to the way forward and from this, prepare our interpretation of the “brief” ready for you to sign off.

By offering an independent design consultancy and project management service we are able to call upon the specialist manufacturer or supplier that is best suited to achieving your goals. This may require the collaboration of a number of specialists and suppliers depending on the size and complexity of the project. At CDIS-KARM we are passionately committed to providing our Clients with a comprehensive yet flexible design and project management service for projects of any size or complexity, offering a planed and demonstrable system of control not only with enthusiasm but still maintaining the high levels of quality and consistency required.

We believe in the strength of creating and maintaining an honest and open partnership with our Clients, specialists and suppliers in order to achieve the best possible end result. With our experience of catering design and fit out we are able to provide creativeness and innovation within the design process whilst stimulating “out of the box” design thoughts and constructively challenging ideas throughout the process.

By creating these partnerships we are able to monitor not only the individual designs but also the performance and reliability of the nominated specialist manufacturers and suppliers and are in a position to influence the choices to ensure that not only the project but also the ongoing operational reliability is reflected in the process.

By utilizing time proven control and organization systems we aim to ensure that the project and financial plan is adhered to and that you are kept fully informed of progress and that the agreed authorization process is strictly maintained.

With a Client review after handover the circular process is complete and, being independent we are easily able to adjust the process to respond to appropriate feedback.

We believe that another of our unique selling points is our technical capability with regard to Mechanical & Electrical services, an area that is often shied away from and left to the client. Being able to “talk the same language” as the M&E consultants and contractors has paid dividends in the past with our being able to offer solutions to their problems within the catering areas and ensuring they provide what is required early enough to ensure the final catering equipment installation can proceed efficiently.

Within CDIS-KARM we are able to draw on a wealth of experience from varying backgrounds in the catering industry, from operational at chef level, design and engineering manufacturing, equipment servicing and installation, consultancy through to M & E theory and practice. This mixture of experience and knowledge enables us to blend together the various ingredients in to the design to provide a solution that helps meet the parameters set, and whilst more often than not this needs to be a compromise, it still needs to satisfy all parties concerned.

CDIS-KARM Evolving But Not At Any Price!

At CDIS-KARM we are rightly proud of our independence, which is a privilege we hold dear as a true design consultancy. The independence of not supplying equipment leaves us free of any manufacturer or supplier, allowing us to design with an unlimited raft of manufacturers and suppliers providing our Client’s with the comfort that the right specification has been created to meet their parameters and has not been compromised by being simply based on a bias towards any one suppliers purchasing policy.

SUSTAINABLE CATERING BY DESIGN

A REALITY NOT A MYTH
