Have you decided that you want to have your own house to be built according to an individual project?
What are the stages through which a design goes through? Let’s look at them in their sequence and clarify the main activities:
- Identification of needs
At the start of the project, turning to an architect, it is necessary to share most of all your wishes, taking into account the predetermined area of the house. The number of rooms, their functional purpose, based on the needs of future residents and their preferences.
- Architectural conceptual design
The second stage is devoted to a more detailed examination, for example, determining the area of the different rooms, the height of the floors, the location of the bedrooms, etc. As a result of a thorough review of the main issues and requirements, the architect, taking into account your requirements, can very easily develop your project.
- Planning development
The next step is the preparation of the relevant functional schemes and the planned distribution of the individual floors. The architect offers options for the placement of the premises, which is in tune with your and the peculiarities of your lifestyle. When developing the layout, the architect takes into account the number of premises.
Your lifestyle is an important factor that has its mark on the layout of your home. For example, if you prefer to spend most of your time in the fresh air, then most likely the architect will put a suitable summer veranda or spacious terrace in the project.
- Appearance of architecture
This stage involves developing the vision of the site. The architect, taking into account all existing building codes and having extensive experience in the design of residential buildings, gives recommendations on the height of the building, suitable materials for construction, the type of façade and materials for external decorative elements.
At this stage, a 3D model of the house is provided, which makes it possible to view the object from all sides. The 3D model gives an accurate and detailed visual representation of the architectural idea.
- Technical architectural design
This stage is being developed within the framework of the construction contract. The stage consists of reworking all discussed conceptual features and details of the project and turning them into construction drawings. Algorithms of construction works are created, and according to them, construction costs are formed. The cost of preparing the detailed design and the construction costs are included in the overall valuation, which is individual for each individual project.
This stage also includes the development of schemes of communication plans, which will further affect the comfort, ergonomics and aesthetics of the interior of the home.
The drawings of the laid communications include the location of the electrical, plumbing, sewerage, heating, ventilation and air conditioning installations, etc. At this stage, specifications for sanitary equipment, switches and sockets and all details of existing communication systems are discussed.
- Author’s supervision
The technical design is ready, and after its final approval, its implementation or the construction of the home begins. The correct execution of the construction activities until their final completion is subject to the author’s supervision.
The author’s supervision is carried out by the architect and guarantees the implementation of the project in the form in which it is designed. [:]
