Architectural Services Breakdown

Basic Architectural Services

Embark on a journey through the fundamental phases of architectural services. From programming to construction documents, we break down the core services that lay the foundation for a successful project. Each phase is meticulously crafted to ensure a seamless transition from concept to reality.

Programming

Programming is the initial phase where we collaborate with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and project goals. Through client consultations and research, we lay the groundwork for a design that aligns with your vision.

Schematic Design

Schematic design involves the development of basic building forms and initial design concepts. It includes sketching, floor plans, site plans, and elevations. This phase allows us to explore various design options and present them for client review.

Design Development

As the project progresses, the design development phase refines initial ideas. Detailed drawings along with realistic 3D visualization are created, and considerations such as proportions, massing, and indoor/outdoor relationships are addressed. This phase also introduces interior design services.

Construction Documents

The construction document phase involves the development of technical drawings and specifications. These detailed documents are crucial for pricing, bidding, and obtaining necessary permits. We ensure that every aspect of the project is documented for seamless construction.

Bidding and Negotiation

We assist clients in the preparation of bid packages, analyze bid proposals, and facilitate the negotiation process with contractors. Our goal is to ensure fair costs and maintain the design integrity during the contracting phase.

Construction & Supervision

During construction, we provide on-site monitoring to ensure that the project aligns with the design intent. This involves field reports, certification of requests, punch lists, and completion inspections.

Additional Services

Dive deeper into the specifics of additional services for Single Family Residential (SFR) and Commercial Projects. Uncover the nuances of services like Record Drawings, Electrical Schematics, 3D Imagery, Landscaping and Renovation. We go beyond the basics, offering a spectrum of services tailored to diverse project needs.

Record Drawings | Authority Permission Drawings

Record drawings are essential for property owners. They document existing or recently completed work, providing a comprehensive record of the building’s history.

Electrical Schematics and Plumbing Solutions

Electrical schematics are detailed drawings outlining the electrical systems of a project. This includes the layout of electrical components and wiring, ensuring a safe and functional design.

Plumbing solutions involve detailed diagrams that outline the plumbing systems of a project. These diagrams include the layout of plumbing components and piping, ensuring a secure and effective design.

3D Imagery | 3D Visualisation and Presentation

Utilizing 3D imagery adds a new dimension to design visualization. It allows clients to experience the project before construction, aiding in better decision-making and understanding.

Renovations

Our renovation services breathe new life into existing structures. Whether it’s a residential makeover or a commercial facelift, we bring innovation to renovation, enhancing functionality and aesthetics.

Landscaping

We extend our expertise beyond buildings to the surrounding environment. Our landscaping services create harmonious outdoor spaces that complement the architectural design, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing result.

Engineering and Permitting

Understanding the engineering responsibilities of Residential, Commercial, and Industrial projects is crucial. Navigate through the intricacies of engineering requirements and the building permit process. Gain insights into the roles of architects and general contractors in ensuring a smooth permitting process.

SFR Projects

In SFR projects, engineers play a crucial role in addressing structural requirements. While architects coordinate with engineers, their primary focus remains on the design aspects.

Commercial Projects

Engineering requirements for commercial projects vary, requiring a collaborative effort between architects and specialized engineers to ensure compliance with safety standards.

Building Permit Process

Navigating the building permit process involves understanding the requirements for Residential and Commercial projects. Architects and general contractors play crucial roles in securing permits.
