The preliminary stage is a critical milestone in our architectural process, as it lays the foundation for the entire project. At Eco Workshop, we understand the significance of defining all the parameters of the site to ensure a well-informed and thoughtful design.
To kickstart this stage, our expert designers will conduct a thorough site investigation. This investigation is a key component of our process, as it provides us with essential data and insights about the site’s unique characteristics and constraints.
With the information gathered during the site investigation, we proceed to formalize our findings with preliminary plans and a preliminary report. For new builds, this entails crafting a site plan, while for renovations, we also consider the existing dwelling. This comprehensive approach allows us to gain a complete understanding of the site’s limitations and potential opportunities.
By the end of the preliminary stage, we will have a clear picture of the site’s parameters, enabling us to move forward with confidence and precision. Understanding the site’s constraints and potential opens up possibilities for creative and efficient design solutions.
As part of this stage, a site visit will also be conducted to verify and confirm any critical information. This ensures that we have accurate and up-to-date data to inform our design decisions.
At Eco Workshop, we believe that the preliminary stage is a crucial step in delivering exceptional results. Setting the groundwork and understanding the site’s unique characteristics allows us to approach the next stages with clarity, innovation, and confidence.
With the preliminary stage complete, we are well-equipped to proceed with the next exciting steps of the design journey, where your vision will come to life in ways that inspire and enrich your living experience.
