Design and build: detailed design (design by contractor)
- Project Definition: The contractor collaborates with the client to clearly define the project's objectives, scope, budget, and schedule. This includes understanding the client's needs, functional requirements, aesthetic preferences, and any specific design constraints.
- Concept Development: The contractor creates initial design concepts based on the project definition. These concepts may include floor plans, elevations, and other visual representations to illustrate the proposed design ideas.
- Design Refinement: The contractor works closely with the client to refine the design concepts. This involves gathering feedback, making revisions, and ensuring that the design meets the client's expectations. The contractor may collaborate with architects, engineers, and other specialists to address technical aspects and regulatory requirements.
