| DAVID NEFF, REGISTERED ARCHITECT |
I . Schematic Design
Based on your guidance, I will prepare a preliminary design, project schedule, and cost estimate and I will
revise these in response to your ongoing feedback.
2. Design Development
After we arrive at a basic scheme, I will further develop the design to incorporate detailing, construction
methods, and materials.
3. Construction Documents
Once you have approved the more developed design, I will produce an expanded set of drawings with detail
sufficient for contractors to confidently bid and construct your project. This document set will include
architectural, structural, and electrical drawings, building specifications, and a conceptual heating and cooling
design to be further engineered by the General Contractor’s HVAC subcontractor.
4. Coordination with Consultants
Throughout this process, I will coordinate with any required consultants, including but not limited to: Structural
Engineers, Site Engineers, Landscape Architects, and Interior Designers.
5. Permitting
I will submit all required drawings and applications to the appropriate government offices.
6. Bidding and Negotiation
I will assist you in bidding the construction documents to a minimum of three contractors and then in
analyzing these bids, negotiating and finally selecting the contractor who best meets your needs and budget.
7. Construction Administration
After the contractor is selected, I will visit the site approximately once a week or as often as required to resolve
any design or construction questions and to ensure that the project is being constructed according to the
specifications. I will also document and administer any design changes and review all billing invoices from
the contractor.
