Architecture and Architectural Services

About Architecture and Architectural Services

Architecture and architectural services design buildings and structures for commercial and industrial applications. They analyze a client’s current and future requirements in order to develop site plans, floor plans, room layouts, and building specifications. Some architecture and architectural services specialize in landscape architecture or historic preservation. Other architects provide town planning, urban design, or code compliance services. As a rule, however, architecture and architectural services complete projects in three phases: preliminary design, documentation, and construction observation or construction management.

Architecture and architectural services perform many activities during the preliminary design phase. After completing an initial consultation, they may perform a feasibility study to analyze a customer’s potential for growth. Expansion vs. relocation studies, assistance with site selection, and coordination with existing facilities may also be necessary. Subsequent activities often include meetings with local planning boards, research regarding applicable building codes, and communications with the general public. During the preliminary design phase, architecture and architectural services may also develop a master plan or comprehensive plan for the long-term development of a site. If the review and revision process satisfies the client, the coordination of the design process with financial planning begins.
