At QBCarchitects, we don't just design—we innovate, we inspire, we transform. Our comprehensive suite of creative services is designed to elevate your space and captivate your dreams.

1.

We create sketches and basic drawings to explore different design options. This phase involves discussions with the client to understand their needs and preferences.

Conceptual Development

We create initial sketches and diagrams to explore different design possibilities. This involves translating the client’s needs and the project’s program into spatial arrangements and forms.

Preliminary Drawings

These drawings include site plans, floor plans, and elevations. They provide a visual representation of the project’s layout and help in understanding the relationships between different spaces.

Client Collaboration

Regular meetings and discussions with the client to review and refine the design. Feedback is incorporated to ensure the project meets the client’s vision and functional needs

2.

Detailed drawings and specifications are created. This phase includes selecting materials, finishes, and systems. Coordination with consultants (e.g., structural, mechanical) is crucial.

Refinement of Design Concepts

This involves detailed drawings and specifications, including structural details, placement of doors and windows, and selection of materials. The design is adjusted based on client feedback and practical considerations.

Coordination with Consultants

We work closely with consultants (e.g., structural, mechanical, electrical) to ensure that all systems are compatible and meet the project’s requirements. This phase includes resolving any conflicts between different systems.

Detailed Cost Estimation

With more detailed drawings and specifications, we can refine the project’s budget. This helps in making informed decisions about materials and systems to stay within the client’s budget.

3.

Finalize all design details, including dimensions, materials, and installation methods. These documents are used to obtain building permits and for the construction process.

Detailed Drawings

These drawings include detailed plans, sections, elevations, and schedules. They specify dimensions, materials, and construction methods, ensuring that every aspect of the design is clearly communicated to the builders.

Specifications

Specifications detail the types of materials, finishes, and workmanship required. They also include information on installation methods and performance criteria, ensuring consistency and quality throughout the construction process.

Permitting and Compliance

Construction documents are used to obtain necessary building permits. They include code analysis, life safety plans, and other regulatory information to ensure the project complies with local building codes and standards.

4.

We visit the construction site, review progress, and address any issues that arise. They also review and approve shop drawings and submittals from contractors.

Site Visits and Inspections

We regularly visit the construction site to observe progress, address any issues, and ensure compliance with the construction documents. They also conduct inspections to verify that materials and workmanship meet the specified requirements.

Project Communication and Coordination

We coordinate with contractors, consultants, and clients to resolve any design or construction issues. They respond to Requests for Information (RFIs), review and approve shop drawings and submittals, and issue Architect’s Supplemental Instructions (ASIs) as needed.

Change Management and Documentation

We process change orders, which document any modifications to the original construction documents. They also maintain thorough records of all communications, decisions, and changes to ensure transparency and accountability throughout the construction process.
