Stage 1: Inception
At D4 Architecture, we kick things off with a deep-dive into your vision. We’ll discuss your aspirations, requirements, and the nature of the site. Information such as budget constraints, the need for specific consultants beyond our internal team, and preferred project schedules will all be part of this initial dialogue. Through this exploration, we craft a detailed blueprint for future steps.
Stage 2: Concept and Viability
Our team, in collaboration with you, will transform your thoughts into an initial design. We’ll walk you through the specifications of the blueprint, including the intended space provisions, proposed materials, building services needed, and most importantly, how your vision takes shape through our design. This stage also involves a thorough check for conformity with land-use rights and a comprehensive review of all related costs.
Stage 3: Design Development
Bringing your ideal architecture to life, we’ll progress into the design development stage where we create precision technical and 3D models of your concept. We’ll liaise with homeowners associations and local authorities as required, and ensure all aspects of the project are integrated seamlessly. Together, we’ll finalise design elements, materials, systems, and engage with consultants to ensure your building is both beautiful and functional.
Stage 4: Documentation and Procurement
We recognise the importance of getting the details right. This is why we pay close attention to the documentation required for local authority submissions. Our team will oversee the call for construction tenders, help evaluate offers, and recommend the awarding of the building contract, ensuring that you’re guided every step of the way.
Stage 5: Construction
During the construction phase, you’ll see your dream turn into reality. We will accompany you on site visits every two weeks, and weekly principal agency meetings will keep you updated ontime schedules and progress tracking. Quality assurance is top of mind to us; we make certain that all the works conform to the contract documentation and the highest industry standards.
Stage 6: Close-out
After construction, we aim for a smooth transition of the project into your hands. This includes assisting in obtaining the occupancy certificate and providing all necessary completion documents. Above all, we ensure everything is as you envisioned it to be.
We provide expert guidance at every step and aim to make progress fluid and stress-free. With us, you have an intricate and reliable framework that respects your choices, values your input, and brings your architectural dreams to life. You can trust us to be your dependable companion on this exciting journey to creating your dream space.
