Fundamental Design
FUNDEMENTAL DESIGN
This stage will commence immediately after the Client’s written approval of the Preliminary Design. The Fundamental Design will define the project in terms of final space layout, construction materials, interior and exterior finish built-in equipment, and specialists equipment and systems.
The Fundamental Design will establish the structural system proposed for the construction of the project and integrate the mechanical, electrical, and systems into the building(s) design.
FUNDEMENTAL DESIGN DRAWINGS
The Fundamental Design Drawings that will be to appropriate scales will include the following:
Architectural Drawings
Site plan showing roads, sidewalks, parking area, floor elevations, existing and proposed contours, planting areas, building location, property lines, and project limit lines
Floor plans showing:
space allocation
cores and shafts
wall thickness
structural elements
fixed equipment
horizontal and vertical mechanical transportation systems as applicable
general dimensions and openings
fire zoning and partition type and fire rating.
Roof plans showing preliminary drainage layout and equipment locations if any
Large-scale partial floor plans of complex areas of important building components
Longitudinal and transverse building sections showing floor-to-floor heights, ceiling heights, and overall heights
Building elevations showing exterior finishes, opening materials, and floor levels
Exterior walls sections showing materials, dimensions, and major details
Reflected ceiling plans sufficient to show general lighting layouts and special conditions
Internal and external architectural details as required by the design intent.
