Deliverables include floor plans, elevations, and basic structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems. Regular client reviews and feedback sessions are integral to this phase to ensure the design aligns with the client's expectations.
Design Development
The design development phase takes the approved schematic designs and further refines them with detailed specifications and design elements. This phase involves selecting materials, finishes, and systems, as well as integrating structural and MEP systems into the design. Detailed plans, sections, and elevations are produced, along with a comprehensive set of design documents that provide a clear and precise vision of the project.
Construction Documents
In this phase, the design is finalized, and detailed drawings and specifications are prepared for construction. These documents include detailed plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and specifications that provide all the necessary information for contractors to build the project. Coordination with engineers and consultants is essential to ensure all aspects of the project are accurately documented.
Construction Administration
The construction administration phase involves overseeing the construction process to ensure the project is built according to the design and specifications. This includes site visits, reviewing and approving shop drawings and submittals, responding to RFIs (requests for information), and managing any changes that arise during construction. The goal is to ensure the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
