What is included in the Design Development phase?

Design Development is where the various components of Schematic Design are fully developed; where analyses are made and solutions determined by the architects, engineers and others, producing a final design ready for the writing of specifications and production of construction drawings by the architects.

The cost associated with Design Development are those of the architects in collaboration with others: civil, structural, mechanical, electrical engineers, consultants and others.

Our current effort, Phase I, of the property development consists of the following components:

1.          Temple
2.          Driveway
3.          Parking Lot
4.          Detached bathroom
5.          Sewer system, on-site and Valley View extension
6.          Water systems
7.          Electrical systems
8.          Building access
