Process Framework for Outstanding Architectural Design Outcomes
At CAD Drafters, our architectural design services follow a consistent and transparent process to get every project from conceptual thoughts to completion. Every phase is essential to obtaining successful architectural design; it is not just a drawing, it is creating a functional, sustainable, and inspiring space. We design a process that keeps you informed and engaged, so you have peace of mind throughout the project, while we can focus on delivering the best solution for you within your time and budget.
Phase 1: Discovery, Concept & Design Development
We prioritise consulting with you to gain clarity on your vision, needs, and functional aspects of the space. We will attend site visits and evaluate your space so we can bring ideas through preliminary sketches, possible layouts, and feasibility studies. Once we have approved a direction, full design development is prepared, which includes detailed plans, elevations, materials, and sustainability applications relevant to your project.
Phase 2: Documentation, Construction & Final Delivery
Once the design has been established, we will prepare detailed documentation, drawings and specifications, taking the extreme and noted variances into account, for contractors to build. We will be in close coordination with engineers, consultants, and suppliers to guarantee that the project is executed on-site. We consider the project complete when we have provided oversight of the construction completion, and the built form reflects the design it demonstrated and is suitable for occupancy or presentation purposes.
