THE ELITE DESIGN BUILD
PROCESS
Pre-Design/Budget Phase
- Master Planning:
Assistance in determining
project goals for both long and
short range client needs and
desires.
- Quantitative: Specific
space requirements, including
function, quality, size,
orientation, adjacencies,
circulation, access, and light.
- Projected budget range
established
- Execution of design build
agreement
Research & Analysis
- Thorough site investigation
and photography to gather
information and identify any
necessary corrective actions on
existing structure.
- As-built Documents: Produce
accurate dimensioned plans and
elevations of the existing
structure and site from on-site
research.
- Code Investigations:
Research and documentation of
relevant applicable state and
national building codes as might
pertain to proposed building
project.
- Municipal Ordinance
Investigation: Research and
documentation of relevant
municipal ordinances and/or
local CCRs as might pertain to
proposed building project.
- Cost Feasibility
Investigation: Assistance in
cost estimation on a systems and
square foot basis to determine
initial feasibility and scope of
project.
Conceptual Design
- Conceptual site plan and/or
master plan explorations for site
building solutions at an appropriate
scale.
- Conceptual "bubble diagram"
exploratory solutions for program
requirements
investigating space requirements, adjacency relationships, orientation and circulation at an appropriate scale.
Schematic Design
- Schematic site plan and/or
master plan design for site and
proposed building solution at an
appropriate scale.
- Schematic plans and exterior
elevations exploring various
possible design solutions to
program requirements at 1/8 " =
1'0" scale.
- Loose schematic sketches of
exterior and/or interior of the
various design solutions or
special conditions.
Design Development
- Development and refinement
of selected schematic design
solution to a more thorough
level of understanding and
completeness.
- Design development site plan
showing proposed solution and
relevant site features as
required for selected solution.
- Design development plans at
1/4" = 1'0" scale.
- Design development exterior
elevations at 1/4" = 1'0" scale.
- Building or wall section at
1/4"=1'0" scale showing an
interior space and building
materials.
- Interior elevations as
required of selected design
solution.
- Two-page outline
specifications of building
materials.
Construction Documentation
- Preparation of "working" or
construction drawings and
specifications of the final
developed building design.
- Formal “working
agreement/contract” for
construction services executed
Site or plot plan at an
appropriate scale.
- Floor plans at 1/4"=1'0"
scale.
- Exterior elevations at 1/4"
= 1'0" scale.
- Building section at 1/4" or
3/8" or 1/2" = 1'0" scale.
- Relevant interior elevations
at 1/4" or 3/8" = 1'0" scale.
- Relevant details at 1-1/2"
or 3" = 1'0" scale.
- Structural engineering
including:
- Foundation/footing plan at
1/4" = 1'0" scale.
- Floor and roof framing plans
at 1/4" = 1'0" scale.
- Electrical/lighting layout
at 1/4" = 1'0" scale, and
electrical fixture schedule if
appropriate.
- Specifications and project
manual.
- Preliminary design for HVAC
system.
- Building permit application
and related materials to
municipality.
