In the Visualize phase, we transform the schematic design into a complete set of construction documents, the instruction manual to build the project. The phase starts by reviewing the SD set with the updated scope, budget, and schedule. Uptic Studios will collaborate with the clients, contractors, and consultants to evaluate the proposed design and construction methodology. Typically, there are features, products, or amenities that need to be developed further and evaluated to ensure the design is aligned with the client’s intended outcome. Once the schematic design has been approved from the design development project, we enter into the production of the technical drawings that will be used for permitting and as the construction documents. These two elements are separated because our clients often want to get into the queue for permitting as soon as possible. A permit set only has the information the permitting agencies require and is typically far less detailed than our construction document package. We can often use the time that the municipality needs to review the permit application to continue completing the construction documents.
