Architectural Design Service
Feasibility Study
We offer customized feasibility studies that assess the viability and potential success of each project. Our thorough analysis considers factors like site analysis, zoning regulations, budget constraints, and market demand. By providing detailed insights and strategic planning, we empower clients to make informed decisions early in the design process, ensuring alignment between vision and practical realities. From concept to execution, our team is dedicated to delivering expert guidance, setting the stage for successful architectural endeavors.
Concept Design
Concept design is the initial response of our design team to your requirements, following feasibility studies and options appraisals. It's the first true design stage, where ideas take shape. While some differentiate between 'concept' and 'scheme' design, we integrate these into a single stage focused on developing innovative ideas. From initial sketches to digital renderings, we explore various design options, ensuring every aspect is carefully considered. Following concept design, we progress to detailed design, where all building components are elaborated upon.
Developed Design
During the Developed Design stage, we focus on preparing detailed and coordinated proposals for structural design, building services systems, outline specifications, and cost information, in accordance with the design program. Spatial coordination is completed, and change control procedures are introduced. Input from specialist subcontractors and suppliers may also be required to ensure comprehensive project development.
Planning Application
We specialize in navigating the complexities of planning applications. Our dedicated team works diligently to ensure compliance with local regulations and codes, guiding clients through the planning process with expertise and efficiency. With a thorough understanding of planning requirements and a commitment to delivering high-quality submissions, we help streamline the approval process and pave the way for successful construction projects.
Technical Detailed Design
This stage involves meticulous planning and integration of building components, supported by regular reviews to assess construction sequencing and risk. We collaborate closely with clients and specialist subcontractors to ensure all design information is thoroughly prepared and integrated into the wider project. With a focus on achieving client satisfaction, we finalize designs, introduce change control procedures, and facilitate remaining statutory approvals for a smooth transition to construction.
Tendering
We streamline contractor selection through our tendering services. We prepare detailed tender documents, manage the process, evaluate bids, and offer expert advice on contractor selection. Our goal is to secure competitive bids from reputable contractors for successful project procurement. With our expertise, we guide clients confidently through the tendering process, ensuring a smooth construction phase.
REN has been successfully integrating BIM technology into our architectural design process for 10 years. Using Revit as a BIM tool for design and documentation, we generate and manage building data to create innovative and functional designs. Our early adoption of BIM technology has led to tangible benefits in presentation, coordination, and quality by sharing the project model with the project team.
