Schematic Design
Help in the initial design phase where concepts and ideas are translated into visual representations. This phase explores spatial relationships, massing, and overall design intent, providing a conceptual framework for further development in subsequent design phases.
-
Design Development
Develop the concepts from the schematic phase into a more comprehensive and executable design. This phase includes preliminary material selection, building systems, and other technical considerations, transforming initial ideas into a well-defined design that serves as the foundation for the final construction documents.
-
Construction Documents
In this phase, we will develop a highly detailed and finalized set of drawings and specifications that serve as a comprehensive guide for the permitting and construction of a building. These documents include precise information on materials, dimensions, structural elements, and other crucial details.
-
Bidding & Negotiation
This is the process of soliciting proposals from construction contractors and engaging in discussions to finalize project costs and terms. We will assess competitive bids, negotiate contracts, and establish agreements with the selected contractor, ensuring that both parties are aligned on project scope, timelines, and financial terms before construction commences.
-
Construction Administration
In this phase we will oversee the actual construction process, ensuring that the project is executed according to the approved design and specifications. We will collaborate with contractors, address on-site challenges, and manage any necessary modifications, aiming to maintain design integrity and achieve a successful project.
