At the start of this phase, the developed design is finalized; everyone loves and understands how the floor plans work and what the renovation will look like.
This phase entails creating several documents that convey information and critical details that will be used in estimating the construction costs. Technical and engineering issues are resolved; building code requirements are complied to; site limitations and zoning restrictions are reviewed and complied to.
Typical construction pricing documents often include:
Site plans
Floor plans
Foundation plans
Demolition plans
Framing plans
Roof plan
Elevations and sections
Electrical and lighting plans
Interior views
Special conditions and details
If need be, additional project consultants may include:
Structural engineers
Site surveyors
Civil engineers
Electrical engineers
Mechanical engineers
Interior designers
Kitchen designers
Bathroom designers
Once the construction pricing documents are complete, they create a foundation for the entire job pricing.
