Aspen ArtWorks - Design Steps 1, 2, & 3, - The Process – Designing One Step at a Time.

1 - STEP ONE - Creating the client’s project vision, goals, and needs on paper.

• Pre-Design Concept Schematic Designs - The idea conceived as the first step. Review the zoning and association compliance, ordinances, set setbacks, and regulations that may restrict or enhance the vision. Create sketches, 3D renderings, and basic plan layouts, bringing the vision to life. This step may create multiple options to choose from and limited by the Designer. This step helps the Client assemble and earmark early project budgets, association/town reviews, and a good visual understanding of the project.

2 - STEP TWO - Collects the results from step one and takes them one step further. 

• Design Development - At this step, we use the concept schematic design choice selected, as well as any requested modifications, and revise and add them to the design as necessary with finishes and added details. Construction engineers and contractors can now use these drawings to comment on further designs needed and begin to bid and price the project…This will help set up a final project budget goal.

3 - STEP THREE – Collects the results from step two and takes them to the last step.

• Construction Drawings - preparing construction drawings/prints, details, notes, and technical specifications necessary for final bidding, municipality, and community permit applications. Construction contractors and engineers will use these detailed drawings and specifications to engineer, construct, build, and install the project.

The project is now ready for construction.
