1: Pre-Design
This initial phase focuses on understanding the client’s needs, budget, site conditions, and project goals. It involves research, feasibility studies, and the development of a design brief.
2: Schematic Design
Architects begin to translate the design brief into sketches and conceptual layouts. This stage focuses on spatial relationships, basic form, and overall design intent. Initial cost estimates may also be developed.
2: Design Development
The concept is refined with more detailed drawings, material selections, and structural systems. Coordination with engineers and consultants is required to integrate all building systems.
4: Construction Documents
Detailed drawings and specifications are created to guide the construction team. These documents are used to apply for permits, solicit bids, and construct the building accurately.
