Empowering clients through seamless construction documentation provided by agile remote architectural professionals.

Schematic Design Phase

Schematic design is the cornerstone of a well-executed architectural project. Our architects design thoughtful visualizations that align with your aesthetic and functional goals. 
 
 Here’s how we work hand-in-hand with you.

Commencing with the Kick-Off for your project

This is where your vision comes to life! We collaborate with you to refine and shape the overall design concept, focusing on layout, space utilization, and the interior and exterior aesthetics. Once the concept is finalized, we proceed to detailed area planning.

Tailored planning based on client preferences

At this stage, we showcase the floor plans, crafted to ensure the building's safety, functionality, efficient use of space, and suitability for its intended purpose.

Code compliance

At this stage, we showcase the floor plans, crafted to ensure the building's safety, functionality, efficient use of space, and suitability for its intended purpose.

Collaboration drives success

Our team will provide schematic drawings and work together with you to fine-tune the design until it aligns with your vision.

Steady groundwork

The completed schematic design establishes the foundation for the next phase, during which we will create detailed construction documents.

Design Development Phase

The Design Development (DD) phase comes after schematic design in architectural building construction. In this stage, we develop the initial ideas with more precision and detail, preparing for the final set of construction documents. 

Here’s an overview of the steps involved in design development:

Refining the Design

We build on the schematic drawings to create a more detailed design, specifying materials, finishes, fixtures, and equipment. This stage bridges the gap between the initial concept and the final construction documents.

Cross-disciplinary Collaboration

Our architects collaborate closely with engineers across various disciplines (structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc.) to ensure the design is structurally sound, meets building codes, and integrates MEP systems seamlessly.

Digging Deeper

The focus shifts from broad concepts to finer details, such as window and door styles, specific flooring and countertop types, wall sections, and appliance selections.

Your Input

We present the developed design, including material choices, for your review and feedback. We're committed to refining the design to suit your preferences before moving forward.

Cost Estimation

With a more detailed design in place, we can provide a more accurate cost estimate. This helps to identify potential budget concerns early and allows for adjustments if necessary.

Construction Document Phase

The final and most important phase in architectural document production, the Construction Document Phase, turns the groundwork from earlier stages into a complete set of instructions for building your project.

Here’s a detailed look at our Construction Document Set:

Detailed Drawings

Our experienced architects transform the concepts from earlier phases into a complete set of construction drawings, incorporating all necessary construction details.

Development of Specifications

We create thorough specifications that define the required materials, finishes, equipment, and construction techniques for every component of your project.

Collaboration with Multidisciplinary Teams

We collaborate closely with your team of architects and engineers to ensure the design is structurally sound and integrates mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems seamlessly.

Client Review and Feedback

We present the final set of construction documents for your review, feedback, and approval.

Effective Communication

Our primary goal during this phase is to produce a comprehensive set of construction documents that clearly communicate the design intent to all parties involved in the building process. These documents serve two crucial purposes:

Why Partner With Us?

Our distinct advantage is leveraging time zone differences to accelerate your project progress. As your remote design partner, we quickly align with your project requirements and begin work without delay. Our expert team, comprising highly trained engineers, is well-versed in U.S. construction and electrical codes, ensuring full compliance from the moment you entrust us with your tasks. Additionally, our experienced electrical designers have successfully managed projects of all sizes, making them perfectly equipped to handle your needs, no matter the complexity.

Frequently asked questions

Construction document management is vital for managing, storing, and sharing critical documents in a construction project, from plans to agreements. The process ensures that all stakeholders are in alignment.

BIM is critical in offering a digital representation of a project’s functional and physical qualities. Integrating 3D models with project data improves document management, coordination, accuracy, and visualization throughout the construction lifecycle.

We work with cloud-based document management systems that provide updates and real-time collaboration. To facilitate smooth project continuity, team members may monitor changes, view documents from any location, and ensure everyone uses the most recent versions.

Architectural drawings, structural plans, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) layouts, specifications, permits, and compliance paperwork are just a few of our many construction documents. We aim to ensure that all documentation complies with regulatory standards and advances the project.
