Step 1.1: First Meeting at our Office and Data gathering 

                 To design efficienctly, we would first need to meet you in our office and would need the following inputs and data                        from you:

                 - Copy of Title or Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) so we may plot dimensions of your property / lot

                 - Lot plan or lot dimensions will also do if copy of Title or Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) is not yet available

                 - Commercial Space, Condominium Unit or Office Space measurements or plans if project is not a house / building

                 - Room requirements such as bedrooms, toilet and bath, family hall, entertainment room, gym etc.

                 - Construction Budget so we may tell you early on if the project is feasible or not. The construction budget stated                             must be the most probable construction budget as any amount that is undervalued or understated will cause the                         design to be smaller and less elegant. We need an honest amount so that you would be getting what you want early                     on. This would also avoid revisions or complete do-overs in the design. In case you would be getting a loan, please                        visit our page on HOME LOANS so you may be able to estimate the loanable amount for your project. You may also                      visit our page on estimating your project given the number of rooms etc. here : BUILDING CALCULATOR. 

                  - Copy of Subdivision / Administration design restrictions (if needed)

                 - 20% or P10,000 downpayment should you decide to have our team do a floor and space plan for your property.

  Step 1.2: Floor and Space Planning

                  From the following design data, our team will be designing your project and will start with the floor and space plan                       including furniture layout so you can better gauge the size of your rooms. Other designers do not include this                                 making their design inefficient (Do you sometimes wonder why electrical outlets are covered by the bed?). This will                       take approximately 2 week to 3 weeks of back and forth submissions until the floor and space plan will be                                       approved. Probable construction costs will also be monitored as 1st design submissions may be within budget but                       succeeding design submissions may exceed the construction budget as additions to the plan would naturally entail                       cost. Once the floor and space plans are approved along with the probable construction estimate, and additional of                     30% of the design fee is requested as downpayment from the client.

  Step 1.3: 3D Perspectives

                  When floor and space plan are approved as well as probable construction costs are within budget, 3D perspectives                       will be designed by our team. We would need to know from you the preffered style you want whether modern,        

                  contemporary, zen etc. A picture of a house / building you want would help us greatly in designing the 3D of your                         project. You may google the desired style of your house and select images. You may also check out our gallery of

                  projects (click here). Should you have no inclination, our team will give you several proposals until you decide and                         approve. This will approximately take 2 week to 3 weeks.

  Step 1.4: Engineering Plans and Working Drawings 

                 When Floor and Space Plan along with 3D perspectives are approved, we may then proceed with Engineering Plans                      and Working Drawings. This may include Structural, Electrical, Plumbing and Mechanical Plans. This will                                            approximately take 2 to 3 weeks. Please take note that we will be needing a Geotechnical Soil Test report (Costs

                 Php10,000 - PhP80,000) should your project consist of 3 floors and above. A roof deck made out of concrete will still                      be considered a floor. The Geotechnical Soil Test Report is required in applying for Building Permit for 3 storey                              structures and above. It will also be needed in designing the structural foundations of your structure as it will provide                  us with the data of the soil your structure rests on such as soil bearing capacity, soil profiles etc. When Engineering                        and Working Drawings are done and sent (softcopy) to the client, 30% of the design fee is requested as payment                            prior to printing of plans.

  Step 1.5: Printing of Plans and Technical Documents for Building Permit

                 When planning is done, all plans and technical documents needed are printed then signed and sealed by                

                 corresponding professionals. This will approximately take 1 day to 3 days. Upon acceptance of Signed and Sealed                          Plans and Technical documents by the client, the balance of the design fee is requested as final payment for the                            design.
