My time zone is Eastern USA= EST = UTC - 5 hrs Eastern Daylight time = EDT= UTC - 4 hrs Design isnt an event. It is a process of refinement. Every detail is decided by someone. The basic steps are: Concept, preliminary, revisions, final, and documentation. It can be substantially completed before construction or during construction. I have worked with a few clients when the final design was very different than the original concept. The following addresses before. www.signaturelandscapes.com/design_process.htm A sketch is the based on a semi scale plat. It is the first step in the design process, but isnt accurate or detailed enough for construction without interpretation. A scaled 2D plan is a conversion of the fat fuzzy lines of a sketch into something that can be dimensioned. The effect of the 3rd dimension (height) can be calculated, but not adequately demonstrated nor verified with a 2D plan. The plan can be no more accurate that the survey of existing conditions. To that end, I recommend you hire a surveyor. 3D design model is an effective tool for working out construction details and making sure that everyone is imagining the same thing. It serves to avoid misunderstandings and significant change orders during construction. Its not just a picture of the design; it is the design. Design changes and alternative scenarios are very easy and extremely cost effective compared to change orders during the construction process. Choices are easier and less stressful when you can see the difference between alternatives, compare the relative costs, and confirm or adjust your priorities. Working drawings include dimensioned plans, elevations, and construction details as well as material specifications. My revolutionary techniques of using the design model to produce working drawings saves significant time in the conversion. Fir example, see:
