Design Development

The phase which we represents a further progression in the level of development compared to LOD 200, indicating an increased level of detail and specificity of drawing and/or model. This level of detail enables more precise analysis, coordination, and construction documentation. Provides a more accurate representation of the physical characteristics and shapes of the components, including intricate details, connections, and interfaces.

Our Approach

System Integration

We integrate all building systems including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection into a cohesive design. Our team ensures that all systems work together harmoniously, identifying and resolving conflicts early in the design process. This integrated approach results in a more efficient and cost-effective building design.

Material Selection and Specifications

We carefully select materials and develop detailed specifications that meet performance requirements, budget constraints, and sustainability goals. Our team evaluates material options based on durability, maintenance requirements, environmental impact, and cost. We provide comprehensive material specifications that guide the construction documentation phase.

Design Refinement

We refine the schematic design by adding detail, resolving design issues, and optimizing the design for constructability and cost. Our team works closely with consultants and contractors to ensure the design is buildable and meets all project requirements. We continuously refine the design based on feedback and analysis to achieve the best possible outcome.

Our Services

Detailed Design Development

We develop the schematic design into a fully detailed design that includes all necessary information for construction. Our detailed drawings show dimensions, materials, finishes, and construction details. We coordinate all building systems and ensure the design meets all code requirements and project specifications.

Engineering System Coordination

We coordinate all engineering systems including structural, MEP, and specialty systems to ensure they work together seamlessly. Our team identifies and resolves conflicts between systems, optimizes system layouts, and ensures adequate space allocation for all equipment and infrastructure. This coordination prevents costly changes during construction.

Performance Analysis

We conduct performance analysis to evaluate the design's compliance with energy codes, sustainability goals, and performance requirements. Our team uses advanced analysis tools to optimize building performance, identify improvement opportunities, and ensure the design meets all performance criteria. This analysis informs design decisions and helps achieve project goals.

This is in collaboration and coordination of the following discipline:

  • Architectural
  • Structural
  • Civil
  • BIM Modelling
  • MEP
