Design Timeline and Iteration Process
Throughout the project, client feedback will be integral to refining the design. Each phase includes built-in checkpoints where adjustments can be made to ensure the design aligns with your vision and preferences. These iterations provide flexibility and allow us to adapt the plan to evolving needs or new ideas.
-
Initial Assessment Phase (Weeks 1–4): After the site visit and initial analysis, we will provide a comprehensive site assessment and a draft basemap. Clients will have one week to review and provide feedback. Adjustments to the basemap or assessment findings will be made during this period.
-
Concept Design Phase (Weeks 5–8): After finalizing the basemap, the conceptual design will be developed. A mid-phase review will be scheduled at the end of Week 6 to discuss proposed layouts and functional spaces. Feedback will be incorporated into a revised concept, which will be delivered for approval by Week 8.
-
Final Design Phase (Weeks 9–12): The final design, including detailed plans, timelines, and narratives, will be developed and delivered. Clients will have an opportunity to review and suggest final adjustments during Week 11 before receiving the finalized deliverables in Week 12.
