ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICE
At Decovisor, we specialize in crafting inspiring, functional, and visually stunning interior spaces. Our structured Interior Design Process ensures a seamless journey from concept to completion, transforming spaces to reflect your vision and lifestyle.
Our Architectural Design Process:
Initial Consultation & Requirements Gathering
Client Consultation:
✔ Conduct meetings to discuss project objectives, design preferences, functionality, and aesthetic goals.
✔ Identify the project type (residential, commercial, institutional, etc.) and its specific requirements.
Site Analysis & Feasibility Study:
✔ Conduct a site visit to analyze topography, orientation, natural lighting, and environmental impact.
✔ Identify potential constraints, such as zoning laws, height restrictions, and property setbacks.
Regulatory & Compliance Review:
✔ Research local building codes, zoning ordinances, and permit requirements.
✔ Identify necessary approvals from local authorities, environmental agencies, or historic preservation bodies.

Concept Design
Preliminary Sketches & Bubble Diagrams:
✔ Develop rough hand-drawn sketches or digital drafts to explore spatial relationships.
✔ Define basic zoning of spaces (public vs. private, open vs. closed).
3D Massing & Visualization:
✔ Create 3D massing models to study the volume, proportions, and structural possibilities.
✔ Explore different configurations and orientations to optimize natural lighting and ventilation.
Conceptual Layouts & Space Planning:
✔ Define the arrangement of key functional areas such as entrances, circulation paths, and open spaces.
✔ Establish efficient workflows and connectivity between spaces.
Feedback & Refinement:
✔ Present initial concepts to the client for review and discussion.
✔ Incorporate feedback to refine layouts, proportions, and structural elements.
Design Development
Finalized Architectural Drawings:
✔ Create detailed and dimensioned architectural plans, sections, and elevations.
✔ Define material finishes, textures, and colors for walls, flooring, and ceilings.
Integration of Structural & MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) Systems:
✔ Develop HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) plans for indoor climate control.
✔ Specify electrical layouts, lighting plans, and outlet placements and planning plumbing systems, water supply routes, and drainage solutions.
Photorealistic Renderings & Virtual Walkthroughs:
✔ Generate high-quality 3D renders for visualization.
✔ Offer walkthroughs to help clients experience the design.
Cost Estimation & Procurement Planning:
✔ Refine project cost estimates based on selected materials and finishes.
✔ Identify suppliers and potential vendors for key materials.
Final Client Approval & Modifications:
✔ Present fully developed designs for approval.
✔ Make last adjustments before transitioning into construction documentation.

Schematic Design
Preliminary Floor Plans & Elevations:
✔ Define room layouts, circulation paths, and functional zones.
✔ Develop elevations showcasing exterior aesthetics, materials, and window placements.
Structural & Material Considerations:
✔ Identify load-bearing walls, columns, and foundational elements.
✔ Begin selecting structural materials (reinforced concrete, steel, wood, etc.).
Design Themes & Sustainability Features:
✔ Establish architectural styles (modern, contemporary, classical, industrial, etc.).
✔ Integrate energy-efficient solutions, such as passive cooling, green roofs, or solar panels.
Building Orientation & Environmental Design:
✔ Optimize window placements for daylighting and cross-ventilation.
✔ Assess the impact of sun paths and seasonal weather variations.
Client Review & Approval:
✔ Present detailed schematic designs for client feedback.
✔ Adjust designs based on functionality, aesthetics, and budget constraints.
Construction Documentation
Detailed Construction Drawings & Blueprints:
✔ Produce finalized plans, elevations, sections, and details with precise dimensions.
✔ Provide foundation plans, structural details, roof plans and create schedules for doors, windows, and finishes.
MEP Drawings & Coordination:
✔ Develop comprehensive electrical, plumbing, and mechanical plans.
✔ Specify HVAC system layouts and energy efficiency strategies.
Code Compliance & Permit Approvals:
✔ Verify compliance with building regulations and safety codes.
✔ Submit necessary documents for permit approvals (if any).
Specifications & Material Lists:
✔ Provide technical specifications for materials, finishes, and fittings.
✔ Outline required construction techniques and quality standards.
Tender Documentation & Contractor Selection:
✔ Prepare bidding documents for contractors.
✔ Assist in selecting and evaluating contractors based on experience, cost, and quality.

Construction & Supervision
On-Site Supervision & Quality Control:
✔ Conduct regular site inspections to ensure construction follows design specifications.
✔ Address unforeseen challenges and implement design modifications if required.
Coordination with Contractors & Suppliers:
✔ Work closely with contractors to clarify technical details.
✔ Ensure timely delivery and installation of materials.
Addressing Site Challenges & Adjustments:
✔ Identify and resolve unexpected structural or design issues.
✔ Provide design modifications or value engineering solutions if necessary.
Safety & Compliance Inspections:
✔ Conduct safety checks to comply with local regulations and building codes.
✔ Ensure fire safety, accessibility, and emergency exit requirements are met.
Final Walkthrough & Handover:
