Introduction
So, you’ve taken the big step and hired an architect for your project. What now? Most clients expect drawings and design magic right away. But the reality is, architecture is a journey and every phase plays a vital role. At Rawshack Architects, we believe in transparency, collaboration, and guiding you through every brick of the process. Here’s what really happens after you say, “yes” to working with an architect.
1. The Deep Dive: Discovery & Concept Stage
We start with conversations. Lots of them. About your lifestyle, dreams, dislikes, budget, timelines, and even how you want to feel in your space. We study the site, take measurements, analyze sun paths, wind direction, and surroundings.
Outcome: Mood boards, rough sketches, and early concepts that set the tone.
2. Design Development: The Vision Gets Real
Here’s where creativity meets structure. Based on the approved concept, we start developing floor plans, elevations, 3D visualizations, and material palettes.
Outcome: A more detailed picture of your future space still flexible, but more defined.
3. Technical Drawings: The Blueprint Phase
Now it’s time to get technical. We prepare detailed drawings that contractors, engineers, and suppliers will use to bring the vision to life. Electrical, plumbing, structural everything is mapped.
Outcome: Construction-ready documents that reduce site confusion and save time/money.
4. BOQ + Budget Alignment
A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is created based on your approved drawings. We cross-check with your budget and suggest cost-effective alternatives if needed without compromising the essence.
Outcome: You get a clear picture of how much your dream will cost.
5. Coordination with MEP + Structural Teams
Architecture is teamwork. We collaborate with engineers and consultants to make sure your design isn’t just beautiful, but structurally sound, safe, and functional.
Outcome: Harmony between design and execution.
6. Site Visits + Supervision
We don’t stop at drawings. Our team does periodic site visits to ensure the construction is following the design intent. If things need to be tweaked or improved on the go, we’re there.
Outcome: Fewer errors, smarter decisions, better results.
7. Final Touches + Handover
Once construction is complete, we walk you through the final site. From furniture placement to lighting, we help ensure the space reflects everything you dreamed of.
Outcome: A finished project that’s uniquely yours.
Conclusion
Hiring an architect isn’t a one-time transaction. It’s a partnership. At Rawshack, we walk the journey with you from first sketch to final nail. Because for us, architecture isn’t just about buildings. It’s about people, feelings, and experiences.
