Why spend time and money on technical design after obtaining planning permission? What does the technical design stage entail?

The technical design stage is crucial in the overall architectural process as it’s the phase where we, along with other design team consultants, produce the comprehensive design for every part and component of the building. During the technical design stage, we focus on developing intricate architectural details. This includes construction specifications for areas like the rear extension, new floor build-ups, and roof buildup.

In the technical design stage, we generate detailed plans and schedules that describe the proposed works with high precision. This ensures that the builders can follow these to the letter, giving you the exact outcome you desire.

Coordination is vital during the technical design stage. We meticulously integrate information prepared by the structural engineer, the M&E consultant, and other consultants and suppliers. The objective is to avoid any clashes or unsightly downstands that could disrupt the aesthetic or functional aspects of the building.

The ultimate purpose of the technical design stage is to provide a set of drawings and documents so comprehensive that they allow the builder to give a fixed price against the defined scope of work. This helps in ensuring that what is eventually constructed aligns perfectly with your vision. By the end of the technical design stage, you can rest assured that your building project is fully designed and ready for construction.
