Feasibility Studies /
Outline Design Proposals
In many instances the
first stage of our service to a client on a building project is a
very outline design which aims to establish its feasibility in
planning and financial terms. This is often a particularly valuable
exercise in that it is probably the best opportunity for our clients
and us as designers to grapple with the project objectives and the
constraints arising out of the character of the site, planning
polices, and financial aspects. Our aim at this stage is to come up
with one or more outline design proposals which satisfy the clients
objectives while dealing with the constraints.
Our drawing work at
this stage is usually fairly limited but usually includes an overall
site plan, typical sketch plans and outline elevations and is often
accompanied by a brief report and / or schedule of accommodation.
