Brief and analysis

A thorough and informative design brief is an imperative part of the concept process. It is an essential point of reference not only for the architect but for all people involved in the design and implementation of any project.

The more information we can gain from the client in the early stages of design, the more effective our decision making and the problem-solving process will be. It is important to remember that the design brief can evolve over the life of the project, it is not a static document that is completed at the start of the process.

The brief must be developed with the client and end-users to reflect the changes and challenges that occur as the project progresses.  It is important that the brief not only fulfills the aesthetic aspirations of the client but also the functional requirements and needs too.

Budgeting and BOQ

The project budget determines how much the project is likely to cost. A project budget template includes a detailed estimate of all costs that are likely to be incurred before the project is completed.

The project budget will include such things as labor costs, material procurement costs and operating costs. But it’s not a static document. The project budget will be reviewed and revived throughout the project.

Followed by a bill of quantities, which materials, parts, and labor (with their costs) are itemized. It also details the terms and conditions of the construction or repair contract and itemizes all work to enable the contractor to price the work for which he is bidding. The quantities may be measured in number, area, volume, weight or time. Preparing a bill of quantities requires the design is completed and a specification prepared.
