Architecture service provides a client with peace of mind, from the design stage, planning, construction drawings, construction management, interior design, to final occupancy. Architect services help achieve specific goals.
Whether a single family residence, a multi-family development, a commercial establishment, or a manufacturing facility, the Architect is experienced in:
- Schematic design
- Cost planning
- Drafting/construction drawings
- Project management
- Interior design services
This valuable knowledge allows for a finished project in a timely manner with cost efficiency.
Architectural Design Services
In the initial stages of a project, the Architect will thoroughly question the client about the needs and desires of the finished project. From this information a schematic plan will be developed and presented to insure the project is true to the vision of the client.
Careful planning and use of recyclable or renewable materials are considered whenever possible, ensuring less impact on the environment. Carefully planned projects can be energy-efficient, have lower lifetime maintenance, less material waste, and better indoor quality for the inhabitants.
Initial floor plans and rough-draft elevations will be reviewed, including material choices and site requirements. Any changes and new requests will be incorporated into the schematic design. Once the schematic plans are approved, drafting proceeds with the final construction drawings. Complete and accurate drawings assure the client of a project that meets or exceeds local, state, and national codes and regulations with a minimum or errors.
Architectural Planning Services
Architectural planning includes all phases of a project. The Architect, experienced in working with multiple disciplines in the industry, is able to coordinate the design project with reputable landscape architects, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers and plumbing contractors. Knowledgeable working experience with disciplines in the building industry is the best advocate for a timely and cost effective project. Lack of, or poor communication among trades of the project is time consuming and costly.
Architectural Management
Once construction has begun, oversight of the designing architect is invaluable. His knowledge of city, state, and national codes and regulations is comprehensive. On the job site, his management supervision will guarantee the highest workmanship possible within the designated budget.
Architectural Interior Design Services
Most Architects provide interior design services to their clients, if desired. Long-standing relationships with design firms and individuals, or design professionals on staff, enable the Architect to complete the project to the satisfaction of each client. Customs, living habitat or working environments are all closely considered. Interior design professionals have the knowledge of the latest trends and styles, and consider the uniqueness of each client
When considering a construction project, Architectural Design Services are a valuable commodity. Most firms charge a percentage of the total construction cost as their fee, from 3% to 12%, depending on various conditions. The fee charge is easily absorbed by the satisfaction of the finished project, timely completion schedules, and cost effectiveness of labor and materials. Peace of mind is priceless.
