Pre-Phase
01 PROJECT INCEPTION
Client is in need of a re-imagined space and the project is created.
02 DESIGN SOLUTIONS PACKAGE
Proposal is sent to Client for review, outlining the project specifics, deliverables, timeline and pricing.
03 CLIENT RETAINS FDA
- 25% of investment is due upon retention.
- FDA and the Client agree to work together on the project.
Phase 1
04 MASTER PLANNING & DISCOVERY DISCUSSIONS

- Planning Questionnaire is provided to Client.
- Project budget is discussed with Client.
- A minimum of one site visit is required.
05 SCHEMATIC DESIGN
- With the exploration stage complete, FDA approaches the initial design through sketching, model massing, preliminary material selection, site study and programming.
- Deliverables throughout this stage may be hand sketches, early digital design modeling, planning documentation & statistics.
06 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
- FDA reveals design progress to Client and continues to develop the design by using client feedback and introducing more design detail.
- Deliverables throughout this stage may include developed digital design documentation, rendered video project introduction and digital material palette suggestions.
07 DESIGN APPROVAL
- 35% of investment is due upon design approval.
- Once the Client is entirely comfortable with the direction of the design and all design aspects have been finalized, the design is approved with intent of project construction.
- Deliverables throughout this stage may include complete digital design documentation, photo-realistic rendered images, photo-realistic rendered videos and physical material palette control samples.
Phase 2
08 GENERAL CONTRACTOR INTERVIEWS & RETENTION
- This is a great time to start interviewing General Contractors to discuss the project, their fees and their management style.
- In most cases, a General Contractor is suggested to be retained earlier in the Design Process in order to initiate the tendering process, project budgeting and pre-construction duties.
09 TEAM ASSEMBLY
- At this stage, multiple professional consultants are required to bring the proper level of talent, knowledge and efficiency to the project.
- These consultants are interior designers & decorators, structural engineers, mechanical, electrical & plumbing engineers, landscape architects, building envelope engineers and any other specialty consultants required for the Scope of Work.
10 ISSUED FOR PERMIT DOCUMENTATION
- Once the documented design is submitted, 35% of the contract is due.
- Design Documentation commences to specify and detail the project to the level required by the local authority to submit the design for a permit to construct.
11 PERMIT SUBMITTAL
The local authority receives and reviews the documents required toconstruct the project.

13 PERMIT ISSUANCE

Phase 4
14 CONSTRUCTION BEGINS
