Detailed Briefing and
Design
Once the outline design
has been approved by the client, a more detailed study can be carried
out, whereby the full design including the detailed appearance of the
building project is defined as well as the fitting out of every room
in it.
This usually involves:-
Preparation of
relationship diagrams & Room Data Sheets (describing the
furniture, equipment and services required in each room) in agreement
with the client which completes the client brief.
Preparation of draft
design proposals based on the above.
Develop outline design
proposals to show spacial arrangement, type of construction,
materials, appearance and structural and service concepts.
Preparation of an
outline specification.
Discussions with the
client on the draft design proposals.
At this stage we would
recommend the appointment of a design team consisting of (as
appropriate):-
Structural / Civil
Engineer, Building services / Mechanical Engineer, Quantity Surveyor
(who would check against the budget) and Landscape Architect (where
appropriate).
We would normally
prepare a Design Report at the completion of this exercise including:
;
A site plan (usually at
1:500 scale).
Floor plans (usually at
1:100 or 1:50 scale fully fitted out).
All elevations (usually
at 1:100 or 1:200 scale).
The Agreed Room Data
Sheets.
One or more perspective
views of the project as required.
A written report
explaining the reasoning behind the design.
This would normally be
accompanied by a Cost Plan based on the design prepared by the
Quantity Surveyor.
