DESIGN DEVELOPMENT - PHASE 03

Develop the Design

Just as the name implies, the Design Development phase (DD) further develops the decided upon Schematic Design Scheme. In this phase we will detail and develop the model of your home / project.

The DD phase is a decision making phase where we study design decisions on a more mirco level, for example window & door placement, type and selection. Exterior and interior materiality will be studied. Schedules of materials and finishes will be created so that the project can be accurately bid.

At the middle of the DD phase we typically send the project out for pricing, if that is desired.

At the end of the DD phase we typically submit the project for permit and the drawings are developed to meet all of the jurisdiction requirements.

New documents created in this phase:

• Programmatic Requirements (Collaborative Google Doc)

• Design Development Presentations

• Permit Drawings including compiled consultant drawings.

• Pricing Documents including drawings, bid & scope of work documents

  • First pass at all Schedules - see list under CD phase.

  • Bid Comparison Document - optional & charged at an hourly rate.

• Updated Bimx Model
