An architect’s role in the design and development of space has evolved beyond the traditional notion of design drawings; it has been expanded to include additional responsibilities related to analysing and understanding a site, as well as designing a structure that successfully functions over time.
Recognised as one of the best architectural firms in Bhopal, we emphasise the importance of practical design, local knowledge, and long-term value when designing our projects; thus, here are five services that an architect provides in Bhopal, India.
Analysis of the Site and Designing a Feasible Concept
The first step in any project is analysing the site. Our architects in Bhopal review key information, including plot dimensions, orientation (north/south), access to the site, types of existing and future developments surrounding the site, weather conditions, and any local zoning laws applicable to the project type. In Bhopal, the layout and bylaws will differ depending on the zone/area of the project. This is a crucial step in developing the feasibility of the concept.
Once the analysis of the site has been completed, it allows the architect to determine what type of structure can be built on the site, how to arrange the space so that it can be used most efficiently, and how to avoid potential construction or approval problems later.
Concept Design and Space Planning
Upon understanding all of your requirements, lifestyle and available budget, the architect creates a design concept for the project to show how the building will operate and feel inside. It will include the layout of the building, the size of rooms, how people will move through the building, and how the natural light and air flow into the building.
Architects consider how to design the building to operate efficiently for years to come. A well-designed space will be easy to use, comfortable and allow for maximum adaptability over time.
Architectural Drawings and Support for Approvals
Architectural drawings are necessary for both the construction and the approval of the building project. The architect will prepare drawings, such as the floor plan, elevation, sections of the building, and any additional required documentation.
Architects in Bhopal will help with preparing the required drawings for submission to the municipal authorities for approval and to comply with the local development regulations. Architect assistance in preparing these drawings, as well as the process of submitting them, helps eliminate delays for the project and allows the contractor to proceed without problems due to regulatory issues.
Material Selection and Design Guidance
The architect will help you select the appropriate materials, finishes and construction methods to ensure you make the best informed choices about the look, durability and maintenance of the building.
With the knowledge of the local environment, the architect will suggest suitable materials that will be appropriate for the climate of Bhopal and will fit within your project’s budget. This will create a balance between the aesthetic appeal of the building and the practicality of the design.
Support for Execution and Coordination of Design
Architects support contractors in their construction processes by coordinating with technology, engineers and other professionals to assist in producing accurate and timely information throughout the entire construction process. Additionally, architects are available to assist & support contractors with potential construction-level questions.
This ensures that what contractors produce meets the plan document and minimises change orders and errors.
