Fundamental Design
This stage will commence immediately after the Client’s written approval of the Preliminary Design. The Fundamental Design will define the project in terms of final space layout, construction materials, interior and exterior finishes built-in equipment and specialists equipment and systems.
The Fundamental Design will establish the structural system proposed for the construction of the project and integrate the mechanical, electrical, and systems into the building(s) design.
The scope of work of this stage will consist of the following:
