ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

As architects, we can be helpful to you in many ways:

• Designing new buildings and renovating existing ones.
• Interior design.
• Visualizations and 3D models.
• Technical projects.
• Author's supervision.
• Consultations and advice.

Our goal is to assist you in realizing your dreams and creating spaces that reflect your individuality while meeting your needs and requirements.

Before starting an architectural design project, several essential steps need to be taken to lay the foundation for its successful execution. Here are some of them:

• Getting to know the client and their requirements: Understanding the client's needs, preferences, and goals is a crucial step in creating a personalized and satisfying project.
• Surveying the site and property analysis: Investigating the location and characteristics of the property is important for determining the possibilities for construction and the use of space.
• Clarifying legal restrictions and regulations: Obtaining necessary permits and clearances from local authorities is vital to ensure compliance with building codes and regulations.
• Budget and timeline analysis: Determining the budget and setting realistic timelines for the project is essential for its smooth execution.
• Gathering all necessary data: Collecting geodetic data, geological reports, information from utility companies, and other relevant data is crucial for the design process.

After completing these steps, the architectural team can proceed with the conceptual design, functional layout, volumetric studies, and all other necessary stages in the design process that will lead to the successful realization of the project.

Depending on the type, size, and location of the project, some of the parts listed below may be excluded:

• Architecture: Responsible for the overall architectural design of the building and the layout of the spaces.
• Structures: Pertains to the engineering structures and the statics of the building.
• Water Supply and Sewerage: Includes the systems for water supply and wastewater.
• Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning + Energy efficiency : Responsible for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and Energy efficiency.
• Electrical: Refers only to the electrical installations.
• Geodesy and Vertical Planning: Involves geodetic measurements and determining the levels of the terrain.
• Fire Safety: Covers the measures for fire safety in the building.
• Landscaping: Deals with landscaping and landscape design around the building.
• Fire Safety Engineering : Includes systems and measures for fire safety in the building.
• Project for construction waste management: Plan aimed at efficiently managing and reducing the waste generated during the construction and demolition of buildings and structures.

The choice of parts to be included in the project depends on the specific needs and requirements of the client, as well as the goals and functionality of the building.

The deadline for completing an architectural design project can vary significantly depending on various factors, including:

• Project complexity: More complex projects, such as large buildings or complex structures, require more time for design due to their intricacy and sophistication.
• Size of the project: Designing larger buildings and complexes usually takes more time due to their greater volume and diverse requirements.
• Client responsiveness: If the client provides prompt delivery of necessary information and approvals, it can expedite the design process.
• Regulatory and permitting procedures: Some projects require special approvals and permits from municipal authorities or other regulatory bodies, which can extend the timeline.

Additionally, it is essential to consider that some projects may undergo changes and revisions during the development process, which can also impact the completion deadline. The approximate deadlines listed below are as follows:

• Conceptual design - 60 working days
• Detailed design - 60 working days

Тo assemble an architectural project for the municipality, the client needs to provide the following documents:

• Copy of ownership document: This is a document that certifies ownership of the property.
• Planning visa or an extract from the current Detailed Development Plan (PUP): It provides clear information on regulatory parameters such as building height, type of construction, percentage of green areas, distances to neighboring properties, etc.
• Geodetic survey: A survey conducted by a land surveyor, showing the exact boundaries of the property and its elevation.
• Utility company data:
• Electrical distribution company data
• Water and Sewerage company data
• District Heating company data
• Combined sketch: An integrated sketch that showcases the proposed architectural plan.
• Geotechnical report: A report that provides information about the soil and geology of the site.

These documents are essential for the preparation and approval of an architectural project by the municipality.

The price for the development of an architectural project is determined based on the final built-up area of the object, following detailed discussions of the project requirements and specifications:

• Complexity of the project: Projects that require a larger volume of work and more intricate details typically have a higher price.
• Size of the object: Designing larger buildings or complex structures usually requires more time and effort, which can affect the price.
• Included services: If the project involves additional services such as interior design, author's supervision, and others, this can also impact the price.
• Timeframes for execution: If the client requires accelerated project development or short deadlines for delivering the results, additional costs may be incurred.
