Whoever you might be, you will need a simply, clear and structured vision and understanding of what to expect during the architectural design and build process. Because this can go throughout the lifecycle of a construction project. Not just the beginning.
To following is a short explanation of the stages. Designing a building doesn’t need to be a complicated process.
Preparation and Briefing
Also known as pre design. This is where it all kicks off where the client discovers the site. You will learn what information an architect needs at this stage to help the move the project forward for the client.

Spatial Coordination
This lesson will help you understand the kind of level of detail and coordination that is expected not just from the architect, but the whole design team.
Technical Design

This lesson will show you exactly what technical design is, in it’s simplified and understandable form.
Building Handover & Use
