Build & Deliver
Final Working Drawings (also called ‘Construction Drawings‘) are produced. These may include perspective drawings, site plans, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (showing lighting and ceiling fixtures), sections, elevations and detailed drawing of architectural elements (e.g. doors and windows) and design elements (e.g. paint, trim, wall coverings and window treatments), along with all drawing notes necessary for the construction and installation of the design.
Written Specifications list and describe in detail all furnishings and materials to be acquired, and Schedules list the type, finishes and placement of architectural and design elements.
A critical path timeframe maps the duration of each activity in consecutive, overlapping order.
The final design documentation, including drawings, specifications, schedules and timeframe become part of the designer’s contract with client.
Execution
Once the final design is approved, the execution or implementation phase marks the realisation of the design. Contractors’ bids are sought and the designer prepares a detailed schedule of works, choreographing construction, installations and finishing in their proper sequence
