DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES

PRE-DESIGN SERVICES
There are many instances where the office with its team is called upon by the client to perform services other than purely architectural or designing services. For the Design Team to effectively assist and serve his client in Pre-design services, special training will be required leading to a broad background in real state, finance, business, taxation, human behavior, space programming, and others, to supplement the architect’s skill as a researcher, space activities organizer, coordinator and manager of the various activities of professionals and tradesmen.
It would not be expected however, that the Design Team would actually perform services in all such fields, but rather, he would act as the agent of his client in producing some of the necessary services that he and his staff cannot provide. It is our task to coordinate these services so that acting for his client, we can retain the degree of control and coordination of activities necessary to assure the client of amore unified result.
The several activities that fall under the pre-design services are as follows:
- ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDIES
A study to determine the viability of a project such as its cost of development versus its potential return to the Owner.
A detailed cost-benefit analysis can guide the client and the our team in selecting a more viable alternative plan.
- PROJECT FINANCING
Our team assist in the determination of requirements of lending agencies, income-expense relation and relative demand for different building types in actual financing negotiations.
- ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING
Investigating, identifying and documenting the needs of the client for use in the design of the project.
- SITE SELECTION AND ANALYSIS
We assist the client in locating sites for the proposed project and evaluating their adequacy with regards to topography, subsurface conditions, utilities, development costs, climate, population, legal considerations and others factors.
- SITE UTILIZATION AND LAND-USE STUDIES
A detailed analysis of the site to develop its potential through the proper utilization of land.
- SPACE MANAGEMENT STUDIES
Analysis of the space requirements of the project based on organizational structure and functional set-up. One method is to use human behavior and transaction analysis to pin-point linkages and interactions of spaces.
- PROMOTIONAL SERVICES
The our Design team with our staff, can accomplish many of these activities including preparation of promotional designs, drawings, brochures and the like.
