Architectural Designs
Technical Explanation
This refers to the design of buildings and structures – creating architectural plans, elevations, and 3D models for projects ranging from houses and commercial buildings to industrial facilities. Architectural design balances aesthetics, function, and compliance with building codes. It progresses from conceptual sketches to detailed construction drawings and specifications for all building systems (structure, HVAC, plumbing, finishes, etc.). Often, this service is integrated with engineering to ensure the design is structurally and functionally sound.
Main requirements
Required for building projects of all kinds. Needs a clear brief on the building’s intended use, capacity, and style. It also requires site information (surveys, climate data) to inform the design. An important part of architectural design is obtaining client and regulatory approvals at schematic design, then detailed design stages. Deliverables include full sets of drawings and specifications that contractors will use to build the facility.
