A sketch project is the result of an intermediate design stage, which gives a general idea of the future object. It includes a number of documents, including an explanatory note, a general plan, floor plans and facades. Often a virtual layout is created in the process — the customer can clearly see what the building or structure will be, evaluate it and make the necessary corrections.
Visualization to minimize further amendments
Making changes and adjustments in the process of work is a common occurrence, but it is much better when the main points are approved in the early stages. In such a situation, a visual representation of the future object helps the customer from the very beginning to understand how his wishes can be embodied. In some cases, several sketches are drawn up: it is possible to compare them and choose the most successful option.
Obtaining permits
For many objects, before starting design, it is necessary to obtain appropriate permits to carry out these work. For this, the regulatory authorities require a certain package of documents, including preliminary data on the future structure — a sketch and related papers. The project company prepares them in accordance with the provided GOSTs and other regulatory documents.
The content of the outline project
The preliminary project consists of:
an explanatory note with a general description of the project, selected materials and basic engineering solutions;
General plan of the object;
poetry plans without detail;
facade plans, possibly in several versions;
3D models of the object and its individual elements.
Documents of the outline project form the basis of the future architectural project, but already in a more detailed form.
Depending on the complexity of the designed building and the wishes of the customer, this list can be supplemented and changed. It may include drawings of roofs, basement and other additional premises, more detailed plans, some elements are visualized in several versions for a visual comparison. In addition, the package of documents may include preliminary calculations of the economic part, which will allow the customer to adjust plans in accordance with the possible volume of financial investments.
For some objects, the explanatory note also includes a list of regulatory documents in accordance with which this development was performed.
