The Architect's Design Phases Schematic Design:: Gonzaga, Rio D. BS-ARCH 3-1

The document outlines the typical phases of an architectural project: 1) Schematic design phase where the architect meets with the client to understand project goals and creates rough drawings of the design concept. 2) Design development phase where more detailed drawings and specifications are created to further develop the design. 3) Construction document phase where detailed plans, specifications, and drawings are produced for permitting and construction bidding. 4) Construction phase where the architect assists with contracting and provides construction oversight.

The Architect’s Design Phases

Schematic Design:

Schematic design is the first phase. In this step, an architect talks with the client to determine
the project requirements and goals. The architect usually starts with rough study drawings that
illustrate the basic concepts of the design. This most often includes spatial relationships as well
as basic scale and forms the owner might desire. Also, initial research of jurisdictional
regulations is completed at this time. Initial cost estimations are also investigated based on
total project size and complicity.

- ROUGH DRAWINGS OF A SITE PLAN


- FLOOR LANS
- ELEVATIONS
- ILLUSTRATIVE SKETCHES AND COMPUTER RENDERINGS

Design Development Phase (Preliminary Studies)

a. The Architect shall prepare from the approved Schematic Design


Studies, the Design Development Documents consisting of plans,
elevations and other drawings, and outline specifications, to fix
and illustrate the size and character of the entire Project, in its
essential as to kinds of materials, type of structure, mechanical,
electrical and sanitary systems and such other work as may be
required.

b. The Architect shall submit to the Owner a further Statement of


Probable Project Construction Cost (SPPCC).

Construction Documents:

Once the architect and client are comfortable with the drawings produced from the design
development phase, they can move on to the construction documents. The construction
document phase produces drawings with much more detail which are used for the construction
of your project. These drawings typically include specifications for construction details and
materials. Once the CDs are completed, the architects send them to contractors for pricing or
bidding as well as to the building department for required permit approvals.

Construction documents often include a complete set of architectural drawings (site plan, floor
plans, sections, details, etc.) that are combined with structural drawings (and possibly
mechanical and electrical drawings) that have enough detail for the contractor to build your
project.

Construction Phase

- The Architect shall prepare forms of contract letting documents for


construction, including forms for invitations and instructions to construction
bidders and forms for bidder proposals.
- The Architect shall assist the Owner in obtaining proposals from Constructors
and in awarding and preparing construction contracts.
- the Architect shall make decisions on all claims of the Owner and Constructor and on all
other matters relating to the execution and progress of the work or the interpretation of
the Contract Documents.
- The Architect will make periodic visits to the site to familiarize himself generally with the
progress and quality of the work and to determine in general if the work is proceeding in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
