SCHEMATIC DESIGN

 

At the onset of the Schematic Design Phase, the Architect would interpret the Client’s brief in terms of spatial, timeline and budgetary requirements, and present a design scheme. The design proposal would consist of proposed floor plans and 3D images, to enable the Client to visualize the space.

Upon approval of the design proposal, the Architect would make a submission to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore to obtain Provisional Permission (PP) and Written Permission (WP).

At this stage, the Architect would also work with the other Consultants (Quantity Surveyor, Structural Engineer, and Mechanical and Electrical Engineer) to prepare a preliminary estimate of the construction costs.

COMPLETION

 

Upon satisfactory completion of the construction works, the Architect will apply for Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP). With the obtainment of TOP, home-owners can then occupy the building.

The maintenance period will begin after the completion of Construction.

CONSTRUCTION

 

The Architect will take on the role of a Contract Administrator during the Construction phase. Site meetings and inspections will be held on a regular basis to keep updated on the Contractor’s progress and workmanship.

TENDER

 

During the tender documentation phase, the Architect and Consultants would prepare and finalize the Client’s requirements, necessary to obtain competitive quotations for the work.

The tender process ensures a detailed breakdown and fair comparison of costs for the client’s benefit. We invite, evaluate the tenders and award the contract on behalf of the client. Over the years, we have built good working relationships with many reputable and established builders. Selecting a trustworthy builder is critical to the success of the project.

Works can officially commence once the selected Contractor is awarded with the building contract.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

 

At the Design Development Phase, the Architect would develop the schematic design to a stage sufficient for the other Consultants to commence their detailed design work.

We believe that good design comprises both aspects of aesthetics and performance, as well as practicality and ease of maintenance.

SITE INVESTIGATION

 

Upon appointment of the Consultants, site investigation would need to be carried out:

  • Topography and building survey (for A&A and reconstruction works)
  • Soil Investigation

For A&A and reconstruction works involving buildings which are built before 1991, an asbestos survey would be required. We would recommend that asbestos survey to be completed before the Contractor is engaged, in order to reduce time and uncertainties during the Construction.
