URBAN SOLUTIONS ARCHITECTS - PROCESS

ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES

Whether a new home, a renovation or a multi-residential project, architectural services can be grouped into the 4 main phases of the project. These are:

• Project Definition

• Design

• Documentation

• Construction

Each client and project are different and the services required also vary from project to project according to:

• the client’s needs,

• the complexity of the brief,

• the site constraints

• town planning or other regulatory requirements, and

• the method of selecting & engaging the builder

For most residential projects, this means that we are unable to provide an up-front fee proposal and need to undertake the Project Definition phase to reach a point where both client and architect have a clear understanding of the project and the client’s needs.

For this reason, we have established a 4-step process for the Project Definition phase. This process will provide the client with a defined brief, a realistic budget and a concept design and take the project to a point where we can prepare a comprehensive fee proposal to complete the project based on a defined scope of services with fixed fees.
