4. Project Development


Once the preliminary study has been approved, the architect moves on to the executive project development phase. This includes creating more detailed drawings containing all the necessary measurements, structural and material specifications, important calculations and integration of technical systems, such as plumbing and electrical systems.

5. Technical documentation


With the project developed, the architect prepares the technical documents necessary to obtain legal and construction approvals, which are in accordance with the standards of the city hall, fire department and other bodies involved in the type of project.

6. Hiring contractors


Once all documents are ready and approvals are obtained, the client can begin the process of selecting and hiring contractors to carry out the work.

7. Work management


During the construction phase, the architect can offer construction management services, ensuring that the project is executed as planned, within budget and within the established deadlines.

8. Final inspection and delivery


After the work is completed, the architect performs a final inspection to ensure that everything has been completed according to the project and specifications. Any non-conformities identified during the inspection are resolved before final delivery to the client.
