Design

First of all, we map out the wishes and requirements of you as a client. This is translated into a program of requirements. It is also important that the program of requirements is in balance with your budget. We will then analyze the location extensively. The location, the environment and orientation to the sun play an important role in this. These results form the basis of the design concept. If you do not yet have an option on a plot, we can advise you on this.

We create a suitable design based on your wishes and requirements. We show you various design options, but the freedom of choice for you as a customer remains guaranteed. This gives the design a unique and personal character. Your wishes in relation to the set budget are taken into account. During the design process, the exchange of mutual ideas and inspiration forms the basis for jointly arriving at a vision for the project. Your wishes are designed in a unique, contemporary way, using a powerful 3D model and strong technical development, in which your wishes are realized within the best price-quality ratio.

The work in the design phase consists of the Sketch Design, Preliminary Design and the Final Design. In the Sketch Design we investigate various spatial and functional solution options using designs in 3D. In the Preliminary Design, the design is further developed into a finished design and the sustainable principles of the project are drawn up. This is worked out structurally in the Final design. In this phase the materials and color scheme of the design are finally determined.

Permit

In the technical design phase, the drawings are further developed so that the environmental permit can be applied for and the tender can be started. The manufacturers come into the picture and questions are raised such as; which product, type of façade material, which type of frame, which stairs, hinges and locks, which heating elements and which switches and sockets do we want to use. It is these details that ultimately give the house its characteristic appearance. During this phase of the process, the architect will ensure that the construction budget is not exceeded. The client is required to think along about these materials and products. The architectural details are now being further elaborated so that the drawings provide a true picture. If the design is now approved by the client, the architect will be able to prepare the permit application and prepare the documents for the contractor selection.

Tender

Before the contractor can implement the design, a document (technical description or specifications) will be compiled by the architect that will provide precise guidance for the actual construction. All materials are described here and all tasks for the contractor and installers are mentioned here. The general terms and conditions within which the construction must be carried out, the warranty provisions, insurance and regulations are also precisely stated. Together with the drawings, this document forms the basis of the contract between client and contractor. These specifications are the basis for price formation when selecting contractors.

Execution

While the contractor and his team realize the design, the architect supervises this work because although everything is laid down in the specifications signed by all parties, unexpected circumstances can arise during construction. The architect will advise you in these situations and come up with solutions. He monitors the time schedule, checks the dimensions, details and the materials supplied. During the construction meetings, where the client is of course also very welcome, progress is monitored and solutions are devised for unforeseen circumstances. A report will of course be made of this meeting so that any new agreements are recorded.

Delivery

Delivery; When the contractor’s work is almost complete, he reports this to the architect and the client and delivery can begin. The architect then inspects together with the client and contractor whether everything has been built exactly as agreed. Any incompleteness or implementation errors will be repaired by the contractor in accordance with the agreements as recorded in the specifications and within a set period.
