SPP 201 - PRE DESIGN SERVICES Flashcards
SCOPE OF PRE-DESIGN SERVICES
The Pre- Design Services cover a broad line of architectural services ranging from
initial problem identification to activities that would allow the Architect to initially
conceptualize an array of architectural and allied solutions. The Pre-Design Services
nominally include consultation, pre-feasibility studies, feasibility studies, site
selection and analysis, site utilization and land-use studies, architectural research,
architectural programming, space planning, space management studies, value
management, design brief preparation, promotional services and other related
activities.
oral or written advice and
direction, to attend conferences, to make evaluations and appraisals
Consultation
preliminary studies involve the procurement, analysis and use of
secondary information gathered for the project to aid the Client in early
decision-making.
Pre-Feasibility Studies
Detailed analysis of the project based on pre-feasibility studies will determine
the viability of a proposed development. This requires primary data gathering and analysis.
Feasibility Studies
This entails the formulation of site criteria, assistance to the Client in site
evaluation as well as analysis to determine the most appropriate site/s for a
proposed project or building program.
Site Selection and Analysis
detailed analysis of the site involves the identification of a site’s
development potentials through the proper utilization of land.
Site Utilization and Land-Use Studies
conduct of primary and secondary
researches and assembled facts used as basis for conclusion.
Architectural Research
identification of both horizontal and vertical requirements in offering a
solution. It incorporates a space program with characterizations of the
envisioned spaces such as ambiance, cost range, etc.
Architectural Programming
determines the adequate size and appropriate configuration
and assemblage for a proposed project in consideration of the use, allocation
and interface of spaces for given activities. Space planning is done mainly
through primary data gathering such as interviews, consultations, interfaces,
focus group discussions (FGDs), space planning surveys, space audits, etc.
Space Planning
An analysis of the space requirements of the project based on organizational
structure and functional set-up pinpoints linkages and interaction of spaces.
The formulation of the space program will serve as the basis for the
development of the architectural plan/design.
Space Management Studies
This technique is applied in the cost management process to minimize the
negative effect of simplified operations associated with many cost-reduction
programs.
Value Management
Under design brief preparation, the Architect states the project terms of
reference (ToR) including the concept, objectives and other necessary
requirements to bid out architectural services (whether public or private).
Design Brief Preparation
Projects may require promotional activities in order to develop and generate
financial support and acceptance from governing agencies or from the
general public.
Promotional Services
MANNER OF PROVIDING SERVICES
After the initial meeting / conversation / correspondence with the Client, the Architect must
submit his proposal for pre-design services, stating the following:
Scope of Work
Manner of Payment
Owner’s Responsibilities
Other Conditions of Services
