Work Flow Breakdown
Phase 1: Conceptual Design
The first phase involves gathering essential details such as the site blueprint, land ownership certificate, land type, and size. We assess whether the land is flat or sloped, located in a metropolitan area, municipality, rural municipality, or near any protected or heritage sites.
Phase 2: Design Development
This phase involves turning your ideas into rough sketches. We map out the site, create basic floor plans, and consider surrounding elements like access roads and landscaping. You’ll get the first glimpse of your building’s shape, layout, and how it fits into the site.
Phase 3: Selection of Building Materials
Here, we choose materials that match your vision, budget, and environmental goals. We consider cost, quality, and sustainability to ensure that your home is eco-friendly and durable while staying within budget.
Phase 4: Preparation of Final Design
We finalize the design with 3D sketches, images, and renderings to help you visualize the completed home. After your feedback, we make any necessary revisions and discuss the cost implications of your design choices.
Phase 5: Municipal Drawings and Structural Design
In this phase, we create the official drawings needed to submit to the local municipality for approval. We also work with a structural engineer to ensure the building is safe, earthquake-resistant, and meets all local building codes.
Phase 6: Plumbing and Electrical Drawings
n this phase, we create detailed electrical and plumbing systems for your home. The electrical drawings cover the layout of wiring, lighting, power outlets, and essential components like the main control box (MCB) and distribution box (DB).
Phase 7: Cost Estimation and Bill of Quantities (BoQs)
This involves calculating the quantities of building materials required, such as wood, cement, bricks, and other construction materials. We break down the cost of each item to give you a clear understanding of where your money is going.
Phase 8: Selection of Contractors and Contract Documents
Once we have the final designs and cost estimations, we move on to selecting a contractor for the project. The first option is to have the contractor handle both the materials and labor in a complete package, while the second option is for you to purchase the materials separately and outsource the labor.
Phase 9: Supervision
Even with the best design and contractors, supervision is key to ensuring that your house is built according to the plans and within budget. We monitor critical stages of construction to ensure the work meets the agreed-upon standards.
