Example
Consider the design of a new library:
- Pre-Design: Determining how many books the library must hold, how many reading areas are needed, and analyzing the proposed site.
- Schematic Design: Presenting three different conceptual massing models showing how the library could sit on the site and basic bubble diagrams of the interior layout.
- Design Development: Finalizing the exterior cladding material (e.g., brick vs. glass) and coordinating with the structural engineer on the column grid.
- Construction Documents: Drawing the exact, dimensioned details of the custom millwork for the circulation desk and specifying the exact model of light fixtures.
Example
You have been hired to design a commercial building with an estimated construction cost of . Your firm's fee is of the construction cost. According to the standard billing schedule, you bill of the total fee for Schematic Design (SD) and for Design Development (DD). Calculate your total fee, and determine how much you will invoice the client upon completion of the Design Development phase (assuming SD has already been billed).
