Question

Sukh Singh · Answer

There are different stages of providing architectural design services. Whether it’s a design-build work process for architectural, commercial, or industrial projects, architects are engaged in the complete design development work.

Normally the 5 stages of architectural design include:

· Pre-Design

· Schematic Design Development & Coordination

· Detailed Design Development

· Construction Drawings

· Construction

Now, just after an architect has completed the design process, he or she is engaged in construction drawing creation. During the construction drawing phase, an architect prepares the building drawings and other specifications for executing the construction workflow.

Through construction documentation, an architect mentions the quality, size, configuration, and relationship amongst the building components for incorporating into the building project.

While preparing the construction drawings or the building blueprints, the architects consider all the technical specifications essential for bidding, construction, and also for preparing permit applications.

Contractors use the detailed drawings and specifications for delivering:

· Annotated floor plans

· Rooms, wall sections, door, and windows

· Section & detail indicators

· General notes

· Interior & Exterior elevations

· Building wall sections with annotated details

· Structural, Plumbing & HVAC plans, schedules, notes

· Electrical power & lighting plans with schedules, details & notes

The documents required by the architects during this phase include:

· Bidding Document

· Contractor Agreement

· Architectural Drawings & Specifications

· Bill of Quantities

· Schedule

· Work Orders

· Subcontractor Application
