Pre-design Services

Pre-design

The Pre-design phase of an architectural project is extremely important but often overlooked. During Pre-design, goals are outlined and project parameters set. It is also the time to identify potential problems and pitfalls, along with community concerns and a variety of other details that will inform the design process. Pre-design considerations are thoroughly researched, documented and incorporated within the project documents. Additional Pre-design concerns include:

• Establishing the client’s goals or dreams
• Style considerations
• Space planning and functionality requirements
• Building Program
• Analysing the project budget
• Setting a preliminary project schedule
• Preliminary site / climate analysis
• Preliminary code research
• Environmental & community concerns
• Accessibility considerations
• Planning for views
