DETAILED CONSTRUCTION DESIGN

Detailed Construction Design is the crucial process by which the broad strokes of the scheme design created during the planning and sketch design stages are developed into a coherent, detailed and technically compliant information package.

Construction Design is where spaces and layouts become a precise set of drawings, schedules and specifications, which communicate to the builder exactly what things are made of, where they are to be located, and how they work together to make up the building.

For less complicated schemes, it would be during this construction design phase that other consultants such as structural engineers or Mechanical and electrical engineers would be brought in to produce detailed drawings accurately describing the specialist design aspects of the scheme, along with other specialist consultants as required, including landscape architects, quantity surveyors, lighting designers etc.

For more complex projects with detailed specialist requirements, the appointment of specialist consultants may need to be considered at a much earlier stage; as their input is likely to have a significant impact upon the appearance, size and performance of the building.

In either case Design Principle Studio will be the main contact point and liaison to coordinate all this information into a coherent package of information.
