So you are almost at the final stage of owning your dream home. You have bought the land and it’s time to build the dream house. However, if you don’t know what the process will be like and all that it will entail, worry not; here is a glimpse of the architectural design phases the building company will use.
The Discovery Phase
This is the first stage of the process, and it’s crucial as it allows the architecture company to understand your needs, inspiration, building design and lifestyle. Furthermore, this phase is the foundation for the rest of the project and sets the path for a unique architectural design.
The Design Phase
The discovery phase inspires this phase. It entails designing a contemporary, yet healthy, building to suit your needs, well-being, and comfort. The architecture company will reduce running costs and minimise ongoing maintenance through sustainable modern building architectural designs in Cornwall.
The Construction Documents
In this phase, the architect creates detailed drawings and specifications for the building. The contractor uses these documents to construct the building and includes architectural plans, elevations, sections, and details.
Construction Administration
During this phase, the architect provides oversight and coordination for the construction process. This includes reviewing the contractor’s work, answering questions, and ensuring that the building construction goes according to the plans and specifications.
The Delivery Phase
This is where the architecture project meets and surpasses the aspirations of the process. Afterwards, the building journey begins.
Closeout phase
This is the final phase. The architect will conduct a final walk-through of the building’s architectural designwith the owner and contractor to ensure the project is complete. It‘s also vital as it ensures any final details are addressed. The architect will also prepare a punch list of any remaining items that need completing before the project is considered complete.
Please note that these phases may vary depending on the project, the client’s needs, the construction company’s standards, and local regulations in Cornwall.Additionally, some projects may have additional phases such as pre-design, programming, or post-occupancy evaluation.
