About Roshini
We are design consultants for industrial infrastructure projects.
Other ConsultantAny industrial project has multiple disciplines. It makes it challenging to create a project merging all these disciplines seamlessly. Architects and Engineers play an essential role in any industrial project. They play an active role, from collecting the inputs for the project to closeout.
Architects and engineers sit with the client and take the inputs for the project. They prepare a document for the project over multiple meetings. The document contains the project goals, timelines and other significant constraints. These sessions are very productive and result in lesser changes after the planning is over. The architects document the data and sign-off before the designing stage starts. This document usually forms the starting point for the project and a reference point during the designing stage.
Typically along with this project document, many conceptual plans are discussed. The entire project team looks for bottlenecks and space optimisation methods. At the end of this phase one or two, conceptual plans are finalised. A budget is then presented to the project team based on the finalised plan. The entire project team signs off on the document, the conceptual plan and the budget.
The project team sits together with the consultant's team at the start of the project to have a seamless integration between disciplines. This integration also ensures minimal iterations at the implementation stage. Architects and engineers play a crucial role in achieving this integration.
The architect's team ensures that the regulatory compliances are in line. They also prepare the drawings needed for statutory approvals. Architects and engineers then start detailing the project. During this stage, they prepare the tender drawings, the specifications and Bill of Quantities, Request for Quote/Proposal. Once the vendor is finalised, they issue the good for construction drawings.
During construction, the architects and engineers respond to any RFI (Request for Information) raised by the vendors. Another significant responsibility of the architect's team is to prepare the "As-Built Drawings" after completing the project.
To conclude, the architect's role does not end at the designing stage. They have to be there till the closeout of the project.
