DEVELOPING THE BRIEF...
listen
Listening to your vision, your goals, your time frame requirements, your budget and your needs
QUESTION
Asking questions about how you work or live, your environments, your constraints, your needs and wants helps define the essential aspects of the project for you.
This information forms a template for important decisions about the project. A brief enables the client to understand exactly what they want their architect to achieve with their project, and allows the architect to appreciate the most essential aspects of the project.
DEFINING WHAT IS FEASIBLE...
INVESTIGATE
The viability of any building project is the fit between four key aspects:- the brief, the site, the budget and the programme. From these key elements come the desires, functionality needs, the physical context and consenting issues that form design parameters, budget constraints and timing.
A Project Feasibility Study explores the parameters of these elements, and provides an analysis of options.
