An architect’s fees cover a wide range of essential tasks to ensure the successful development of a construction project. At Fran Cortés Arquitectos, we make sure that every aspect of your project is carefully planned and executed. Here’s a breakdown of the main tasks we carry out:
1. Initial Meeting and Project Definition
The first stage involves initial meetings to understand your needs and expectations. Based on these meetings, we define the project brief and provide a clear, transparent fee proposal.
Practical Example: If your dream is to have a sustainable and energy-efficient home, we’ll discuss your ideas and develop a plan that meets your goals.
2. Preliminary Studies and Feasibility
We conduct preliminary studies to assess the feasibility of the project, including site analysis and review of local planning regulations. This helps us anticipate any challenges and adjust the design as needed.
Practical Example: We carry out a soil analysis to identify potential issues and adapt the design accordingly.
3. Design and Conceptualization
We develop the initial design of the project, including sketches, floor plans, and 3D models. This stage is crucial to turn your ideas into a tangible and visual concept.
Practical Example: We design a home with large windows and open spaces, using 3D models so you can visualize the final result.
4. Development of the Basic Project
We prepare the Basic Project, a detailed document including plans and a descriptive report required to apply for the building permit. We ensure all legal and technical aspects are covered.
Practical Example: We prepare all the necessary documents and submit them to the town hall to obtain the construction license.
5. Execution Project Development
In this phase, we detail all the technical and construction aspects of the project, specifying materials, systems, and building methods. This document is essential for guiding the construction process.
Practical Example: We specify the types of materials and construction techniques to be used, ensuring durability and efficiency for your home.
6. Site Supervision
During construction, we supervise the work to ensure it is carried out in accordance with the project and all relevant regulations. We conduct regular site visits and coordinate closely with the technical architect and the contractor.
Practical Example: We regularly visit the construction site to ensure everything is being built according to the plans and specifications.
7. Management of Licenses and Permits
We handle all necessary licenses and permits, coordinating with local authorities to ensure that the project complies with all regulations.
Practical Example: We take care of the building permit and any other required authorizations to start and complete the construction.
8. Advice and Consultancy
We provide ongoing advice throughout the entire process, answering your questions and adjusting the project as your needs evolve.
Practical Example: We advise you on best practices for energy efficiency and sustainability for your home.
