FIVE PROJECT PHASES Schematic design Design development Construction documents Bidding or negotiation Construction contract administration

FIVE PROJECT PHASES Schematic design General scope, conceptual design, scale, and relationships among the components of the project.

FIVE PROJECT PHASES Schematic design OBJECTIVES Arrive at clearly defined and feasible concept Present it in a form that achieves client understanding and acceptance Clarify the project program Explore the most promising alternative design solutions Provide a reasonable basis for analyzing the cost of the project

FIVE PROJECT PHASES Schematic design TYPICAL DOCUMENTATION INCLUDE A site plan Plans for each level All elevations Key sections An outline specification A statistical summary of the design area and other characteristics in comparison to the program A preliminary construction cost estimate Other illustrative material: perspectives, renderings, models, computer simulations , or additional drawings

FIVE PROJECT PHASES Schematic design Drawings 1:200 for large buildings 1:100 0r 1:50 for smaller buildings and interiors Outline specifications General description of the work that indicates the major systems and materials choices for the project and provides the information necessary to communicate the appearance and function of the building.

FIVE PROJECT PHASES Schematic design Preliminary estimate of construction cost. Preliminary area analysis Preliminary construction cost estimate Limited detail” only” major trades and systems Preliminary analysis of owner’s budget Recommendations for changes.

FIVE PROJECT PHASES Schematic design OTHER SERVICES Life cycle cost analysis Energy studies Tenant-related design studies Economic studies Models Brochures and promotional materials APPROVALS Obtain formal client approval (in writing if possible) If approval is given verbally, send the client a letter confirming the architect understands of the approval and ask the client to initial the letter and return a copy.

FIVE PROJECT PHASES design development Refinement and coordination A really polished work of architecture Minimizes the possibility of major modifications during the construction contract documents phase. Define and describe all important aspects of the project so that what remains is the formal documentation step of construction contract documents. Clear, coordinated description of all aspects of the design. Fully developed floor plans, sections, exterior elevations, interior elevations, reflected ceiling plans, wall sections and key details.

FIVE PROJECT PHASES design development Drawings Specifications Recommended adjustments Formal presentation and approval by the owner. Schematic design  Design development  Construction documents
