Architecture is a process.Episode 06 follows Chapter 6 of Babe, Let's Build a House: From Consultation to Completion.

Our homes are our largest financial asset, the largest bill we'll ever pay and the longest to pay off, so this process deserves careful consideration.In this episode:Why plans are instructions, and why they become a legal document once they're part of your building contractPredesign and brief: why budgets shouldn't be assumed, and build budget versus project budgetPreliminary design: site feasibility, planning rules, site opportunities and challengesSketch design and concept design: forming the vision, from hand sketches to 3DDeveloped design: the link between the vision and the instructions, a QS cost check, and resource consentDetailed design and working drawings: the nuts and bolts stage, roughly 50% of an architectural feeProcurement and tendering, and why I'm not a fan of tenderingContract administration versus contract observationCompletion: defects inspections, retentions, building consent and CCC, and Passive House and Homestar built certificationComing up in the series:Episode 07: The Process That I UseFind the book here: www.smartlivingspaces.nz/bookPodcast page: www.smartlivingspaces.nz/podcastHosted by Sharon Robinson, architectural designer, Certified Passive House Designer, Homestar Professional and Assessor, and founder of Smart Living Spaces.#BabeLetsBuildAHouse #NewHomeBuild #BuildingInNZ #ArchitecturalDesign #ArchitecturalProcess #SmartLivingSpaces
