What Is Involved In The Design Process?
There are several steps involved in the design process for an architectural project. Each step is very important to the overall look, feel, and safety of the project.
Our typical architecture services involve:
Architecture Schematic Design
First, step of the architecture design phase is the schematic design. The schematic design is where the architect gathers information on the needs, style, and wants for the project and from there the he will create two to three design options for the client to review.
Architecture Design Development
Secondly, in the architecture design development, the architect will take the schematic designs and develop them to an approved design concept. Hence, Any changes the client wants to make to the design should be communicated to the architect during this phase.
Bidding/ Construction documents
Further, Construction documents are given to a contractor for the construction of your project. An architect will put together architecture drawings with a lot of design detail on them for the contractors to follow when building. Consequently , Bidding follows where the architect or client seeks a contractor for their project. They bid the job to the contractor by giving them bid documents which display details of the project. Moreover, these documents include detailed architecture drawings, construction documents and technical design specifications.
Construction
Finally, Construction begins once you’ve found a contractor you like, and you’ve settled on a design concept that fits your needs. Your architect will be in contact with your contractor throughout the duration of the construction phase to ensure that your project is being built according to the plans.
Most importantly, we focus on working closely with clients to design tailor-made architecture projects, and faithfully interpret their vision. Above all else, the firm values client trust, and unparalleled quality in the expression and execution of its ideas.
