- A house with differentiated aesthetic quality;
- A house with thermal and acoustic comfort, good distribution of environments based on solar orientation, natural ventilation and lighting;
- Indication of earth movements when necessary (cut and fill), and choice of the best accesses for people and vehicles according to the site implementation;
- Choosing of the most appropriate construction techniques for the specific demand (concrete, steel, wood, etc.); - Project presentation with realistic 3D images;
- Project development with the most advanced computer softwares (BIM Technology), enabling a 3D environment approach from conception to executive project;
- Approval by City Hall and other public institutions;
- Material specificationa and construction budget.
1. FEASIBILITY STUDY The client's objectives, legislation, program, and information about the terrain (topography, solar orientation, wind direction, views, etc.) are checked. The client must hire a professional to do the Topographical Survey. The urban parameters are verified (Utilization Coefficient, Permeable Area, etc.).
2. PRELIMINARY STUDY
The first volumetric studies of the building are made, with conception, dimensioning and characterization of stories and environments.
3. PRELIMINARY DESIGN
The project is defined with floor plan drawings, sections, facades and presentations of realistic 3D images. A structural system’s definition and creation of the hydraulic and electrical installations are made; The finish materials are chosen in preliminary conceptual level.
4. APPROVAL PROJECT
It constitutes the technical-legal configuration of the architectural solution proposed for contruction, developed after the preliminary design approved by the contractor, in the legal requirements and standards, and in the technical presentation standards and graphic representation issued by public institutions (such as City Hall and others).
5. BASIC PROJECT
It comprises a level of technical information that will enable the beginning of the executive project, such as material detailed specification by environment and definitions of the construction systems through floor plans, sections and façades. At this stage, the client must contract the complementary projects: Structural, Electric and Hydraulic. It’s optional to contract the Lighting, Landscaping and Air Conditioning projects.
6. EXECUTIVE PROJECT
The Executive Project will bring all the necessary information for the contruction execution, constructive details, and architecture’s compatibility with complementary projects.
