Feasibility Study / Programming: Determining if the project is structurally and financially possible. Schematic Design : Initial rough sketches to establish the scale and relationship of spaces. Design Development : Refining the sketches into detailed plans with specific materials and systems. Construction Documents : The final "Blueprints." These are the legal technical drawings used for bidding and building. Material Takeoff : A comprehensive list of all raw materials needed for the build.
Selective demolition is the surgical removal of specific interior elements—like finishes, non-load-bearing walls, and outdated MEP systems—while preserving the building’s structural integrity. It includes utility safe-offs (capping lines), abatement of hazardous materials, and shoring to provide temporary support, creating a clean "shell" for new construction.
It refers to the "fit-out" phase following demolition. It involves constructing new structural elements, installing modern MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems, and applying finishes. This phase integrates new designs with the existing shell to restore functionality, improve energy efficiency, and meet current building codes.
