In this phase of work, we begin to flesh out the design.
What will your hand touch as you move through the building? How will
the systems work? Which sorts of consultants can help us achieve the
design goals? Design Development fees are often 10% of the total design
fee. Below are some examples of the decisions that are made during design
development:
· Development of floor plans, sections, elevations, drawn to scale.
· Preliminary material selections.
· Preliminary design of interior spaces.
· Coordination with structural design.
· Preliminary design of heating, ventilation, plumbing, and lighting, including exploration of alternative energy strategies and funding sources.
· Final code review and local jurisdiction and property covenant requirements form the foundation of construction documents.
