It is expected that the revenue of architectural services will reach around 48.3 billion USD by 2024 in the US alone. It’s a good time to understand how schematic design contributes to architectural projects. In this article, we’ll take you through what you can expect during this phase, and why it is integral for
The goal of the conceptual design phase is to establish the size and shape of a building – that is, how it basically looks and operates. It includes a lot of modeling and sketching, and takes up around 15% of the architect’s fees and work.
Architectural drawing consultants work on the following aspects of the project during this phase: Design concept Outline specifications Accommodation schedules Costing plan Options for procurement Program and strategy for phasing Construction logistics After this stage comes the design development phase, during which the client and architect select materials such as interior finishes, and products such as fixtures, doors, windows and appliances. The sketches will be revised, and there will be more details and specifications.
Other than this, conceptual designing includes: A review of the client’s program ideas for analyzing project requirements and arriving at a mutual consensus on the same Conducting a preliminary evaluation of the client’s program, project schedule and construction budget Preparation and submission of a preliminary estimate of construction costs, which are based on volume, area and other unit costs The proposed flow system of the project is discussed, along with individual requirements and reaching targets Once these requirements are fulfilled, an optimum workflow process can be designed. It has an enormous impact on the
construction documentation you will get from your drafting services.
A systematic approach to get the most out of Conceptual Design: Creating a feasibility study Carrying out commercial and technical analysis of process steps for determining the best production process Discussion from various engineering and environmental standpoints Comprehensive commercial and technical examination Risk assessment Calculate and take account of location, economic viability and investment costs for upcoming construction projects Make sure that the Conceptual Design accounts for: Construction plans and planning notes Quality materials and their use along with description Inspection reports of work in progress, follow-up reports and notes on recommended corrections List of all subcontractors deployed Signed agreements from all subcontractors Insurance certificates from all subcontractors Video copies of inspections Signed copies of sales contracts Documentation of all communication between developers, subcontractors and owners Signed orders on work change Conclusion Once you’ve got your conceptual design phase down, you’re on your way to a great construction project.
