Phase IV - Design Development

• Design development generally includes the following:
  • Review with the county or city staff to fine tune any requirements
  • Continued design of the building to address civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection considerations
  • Interior space planning including lighting design
  • Adjustment to the original design as necessitated by various technical considerations
  • If needed, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, landscape and other sub-consultants are selected
  • Presentation drawings for submittal requirements and public relation purposes are created
  • Preliminary security and equipment selections are made
  • The EIS check list is completed
     

Phase V - Construction Documentation

• Documents such as drawing and specifications for permit submittal, bidding, and construction are developed.
• Cost estimating, interior design, furniture selection, and a variety of other services are conducted during this phase.

Phase VI - Permits and Bidding

• Applications for approvals are made once the construction documents are completed.
• In most cases, the documents are submitted in complete form for building permit review.
• While working with the agencies reviewing the documents, we are also involved in preparing and administering the bid process.  Once the bid or negotiated proposal is received, we then help in analyzing the bid and researching the contractor who will be used.
• Often during this time, final furniture and fixture purchase orders are prepared and submitted.
