Planning a Project?

A process that results in a new home. Architectural clients might experience confusion about this term because it represents several phases of the home design process. The process of residential design includes a contract that specifies details about design, construction and pricing obligations. Home owners who plan on interacting with an architectural firm can benefit from exploring residential design related concepts before the residential design meetings begin.
Once an owner outlines their needs, a residential design project launches. The creative activity behind meeting the desires of architectural clients is considered the first phase of residential design. The outcome of this effort is a home design plan, which will contain illustrations and informative details such as the required building materials, fixtures, appliances, hardware, doors and windows. This initial phase is refined until construction documents can evolve from the approved plan.

It is commonly understood that clients don't need to participate during the construction process. However, architectural clients can benefit from reviewing the final kitchen and bathroom layouts to inspect matters such as cabinet organization. A client might wish to increase participation during this stage of home design.
