schematic design
design development
construction document
what activites occur during the schematic design stage?
series of options
focus in on the character and the design qualities
generate plan, section, elevation, and model(tpicallY)
consutlt integrated is typical minimal
cost estimat
ower approval
what actions take place in the design develop stage?
engineers and consultants on board
real construction
decision making
building envelope, structure, fenestration systems, interiors and some of the finishes
cost estimate
owner approval
what activites occur during the construction documents stage?
fully develop every inch of the project in detail
the achitect/designer acts as the coordinator of all the consultants’ work
review and approve
what are the two parts of construction documents
construction drawings- quantitative
specificaitons- qualitative

specification wins out
what do the documents with in the construction document stage do?
communicate to the owner in DETAIL
establish the contractual obligations
lay out the responsibilities
communicate to the contractor
bids
regulatory and financial approvals needed to proceed with construction
CSI- Masterformat=
a program that provides a functional way of organizing the specifications for a given project
CSI=
construction specificaiton institute
division 01:
covers items that apply to ALL divisions
- payment procedures is an ex.
division 02-14=
cover the basics fo the architectual work on the project
divion 10:
specialties
division 13:
special construction
pre-construction-
bidding and negotiation
this is the pahse during which the contractor is selected to construct the project
what is the role of the architect or interior designer during the pre-construction phase?
initialize the bidding process
evaluate the bids
What are some of the things you need to note about these documents?

bid bond:
ensures they have the experience, ability, and financial resources available to perform the work

the funds required to finish the work
payment bond:
pay the subcontractor and supplies
surety bonds:
insurance type documents used to ensure that if the contractor fails, someone else will be there to clean up the mess
What is the role of the architect or interior designer during the construction phase?
review shop drawings
a review of shops for compliance with the construction documents
review of mock-ups and other submittals like material samples and product cut sheets
be the eyes and ears of the owner
- FEILD OBSERVation of the project not inspection
report found issues
review and sign-off on request for payment
respond to change orders and RFI’s
what is the role for the architect/interior designer during the post-construction phase?
project closeout
- inspections
- substantial completion
- the facility is able to be occupied
- warranties

- certificate of occupancy
final completion
- everything has been completed
- record documents, keys, equipment instructions, etc.
- certificate of final completion: allows the contractor to obtain the final payment
- contractor is no longer liable for the project outside of the warranties
