Client consultation understanding the client's needs, vision, budget, and site conditions. Site analysis assessing the site for factors like zoning, environmental conditions, Examining if the project is possible within budget, space.
Design Development Refining the chosen design, including detailed drawings and selecting materials, systems, and finishes. 3D modeling & visualization generating digital models and renderings to help visualize.
Construction drawings preparing detailed architectural drawings, which include floor plans, sections, elevations, and other essential design elements. Writing specifications for the materials, finishes, and systems to be used.
Contractor Selection Helping the client select a contractor through a bidding process or negotiation. Offering estimates on project costs based on design developments. Contract Administration Reviewing bids, answering questions from contractors, and negotiating.
Coordination Working with other professionals, such as engineers, interior designers, and contractors, to ensure everything aligns. Change Management Managing any design Modeling during construction and assessing their impact on cost and schedule.
Project Closeout Final inspections and ensuring all contractual obligations are met. Services for updating, restoring, or repurposing existing buildings. Handover Delivering the completed project to the client, including all documentation and warranties.
A structural system is the framework that supports the building’s loads, ensuring stability, durability, and safety. We pride ourselves on providing unique and forward-thinking designs that push the boundaries of traditional Architectural, ensuring each project is both distinctive and practical.
Loads refer to forces or weight that act on the structure, and understanding these loads is crucial to designing a stable and safe building. Seismic Loads Forces generated by earthquakes or ground movement. Snow Loads Loads from snow accumulation on roofs and other surfaces.
The selection of materials is critical for the strength, durability, and sustainability of the building. Known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, used for frames, beams, and columns. While primarily used for facades, glass can also be integrated into structural design for innovative designs.
Foundations are critical structural elements that transfer loads from the building to the ground. The type of foundation depends on the building's load and the soil conditions. Used when the surface soil strong enough to bear the loads, such as piles, caissons. Typically used for buildings with lighter loads.
Structural analysis involves determining the internal forces and stresses within a building’s components to ensure safety and stability. Stress and Strain Analysis Assessing how materials will react to loads and forces. Deflection Calculating how much the structure or its elements will bend or deform under load.
Building design is governed by local, national, and international codes and standards that dictate the safety, material usage, and construction methods to ensure public safety. A model code that provides minimum requirements for structural design, Codes for concrete design and construction.
