FROM THE INITIAL DISCUSSION WITH THE CLIENT THROUGH THE FINAL
DELIVERY OF THE COMPLETED STRUCTURE.
• Architects spend a great deal of time explaining their ideas to clients, construction
contractors, and others and residential projects to architecture firms overseas.
• The architect and client discuss the objectives, requirements, and budget of a
project. In some cases, architects provide various predesign services: conducting
selecting a site, preparing cost
feasibility and environmental impact studies,
analysis and land-use studies, or specifying the requirements the design
must meet.
• After discussing and agreeing on the initial proposal, architects develop final
construction plans that show the building's appearance and details for its
construction
• Accompanying these plans are drawings of the structural system; heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC); electrical systems;
communications systems; plumbing; and, possibly, site and landscape plans.
• The plans also specify the building materials and, in some cases, the interior
furnishings.
• In developing designs, architects follow building codes, zoning laws, fire regulations,
and other ordinances, such as those requiring easy access by people who are
disabled.
• Computer-aided design and drafting (CADD is most common method for creating
design and construction drawings).
• Continual revision of plans on the basis of client needs and budget constraints is
often necessary.
• As construction proceeds, they may visit building sites to make sure that contractors
follow the design, adhere to the schedule, use the specified materials, and meet
work quality standards.
• The job is not complete until all construction is finished, required tests are
conducted, and construction costs are paid and a Certificate of Occupancy has been
issued.
Often working with engineers, urban planners, interior designers, landscape architects,
and other professionals, architects spend a great deal of their time COORDINATING
INFORMATION FROM, and the work of, other professionals engaged in the same
project.
• They design a wide variety of buildings, such as office and apartment buildings,
schools, churches, factories, hospitals, houses, and airport terminals.
• They also design complexes such as urban centers, college campuses, industrial
parks, and entire communities.
• Architects sometimes specialize in one phase of work. Some specialize in the design
of one type of building—for example, hospitals, schools, or housing.
• Architects spend most of their time in offices consulting with clients, developing
reports and drawings, and working with other architects and engineers
Comprehensive Building Process:
The Architect is required to provide services in respect of the following :
• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning design (HVAC) consultants and other mechanical
systems.
• BIM(building information modelling) – digital representation of physical and functional
characteristics of places.
• Elevators, escalators, etc.
• Periodic inspection and evaluation of Construction works. Until the completion of project.
Project Cycle
PARTICIPANTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
There are numerous participants that take part in the construction process. The key participants
are listed below and are discussed in depth
• Contractors
• Prime Contractors
• Construction Managers
• Commercial Contractors
• Residential Construction Developers
• Subcontractors
• Highway Contractors
• Heavy Construction Contractors
• General Architects
• Landscape Architects
• Engineers
• Material Suppliers
• Construction Lenders
• Surety Companies
Each of the above participants can and often do have multiple roles in the construction process.
Construction lenders frequently hold an equity position in a development partnership in order to
participate in the management decisions and to share in the profits.
