OUR PROCESS| THE COnceptual journey
Stage 1
client Meeting & design brief
The project brief is defined by the client and the architect. All details are discussed in reference to scope, design, budget and timeframe. The client also gives an indication of their personalized requirements and a wish list of everything that needs to be included in the design.
Stage 2
Design concept
The initial design concept is produced. The architects provide the client with clear floor plans and 3ds of the proposed design. The plans are evaluated and discussed which gives the architects a clear indication as to how to further improve the design.
Stage 3
Design & development
This is the crucial stage where the client signs off the design. This is only reached once the original design concept has been moulded and adjusted in such a manner that the client is entirely happy with the design and we can proceed to Council Drawings. At this stage we will also have a final Area Schedule of the design.
Stage 4
Council drawings
Once Design sign off has been
achieved we produce all of the necessary drawings for council and HOA
submission. These documents include finalized site plans, floor plans,
sections, elevations, roof layout, details, door and window schedules,
fenestration calculations and any other necessary documentation that
might be required by the HOA or Council for approval. Prepare
documentation sufficient for local authority submission
Stage 5
Construction & Quality control
We produce
further drawings as required by our contractor team for construction. Our construction team then takes on the construction phase led by the assigned project manager on your site.
Stage 6
Close out
- Fulfil and complete the project close-out including the preparation of the necessary documentation to facilitate the effective completion, handover and operation of the project.
- After the contractor’s obligations with respect to the building contract are fulfilled, the architect shall issue the certificates related to the contract completion.
- Provide the client with as-built drawings and relevant technical and contractual undertakings by the contractor and subcontractors
