What stages house design consists of

1. 1

   Initial discussion and defining the task

   We discuss the idea, your preferences for the house, and the general framework of the task — area, number of floors, budget guidelines.

2. 2

   Gathering initial data

   We collect information about the plot, technical conditions, constraints, and any existing documents.

3. 3

   Concept and layout solutions

   We work out the house's general layout and massing, taking into account preferences and the specifics of the plot.

4. 4

   Developing the design documentation

   We prepare the architectural and engineering sections of the project to the extent needed for further approvals and construction.

5. 5

   Approvals required for the specific property

   The set of approvals needed depends on the property, the plot, and municipal requirements — confirmed on a case-by-case basis.

6. 6

   Preparing for project implementation

   Final preparation of the materials needed to start construction work.

The exact set of stages depends on the property, the plot, engineering solutions, and the client's brief — this sequence gives only a general picture of the process.
