Arup follows an outcomes-based design approach by clearly defining the goals of each engagement then using these goals to inform the roadmap for technology implementation. Arup leverages their broad industry perspective to evaluate the available products, services, and technologies needed to enable each project’s ‘smart’ vision and design integrated digital
solutions to satisfy current user needs while future-proofing against the rapidly evolving technology landscape.
