SKETCH DESIGN The sketch design phase is the starting point for most architectural projects. Through consultation with our clients we establish the brief and budget requirements of the project. Like the image on this page, most presentation drawings are freehand in technique, and outline the parameters and concepts of a design. Standard outcomes from this stage may include: Preliminary meeting with clients to discuss brief & budget Initial analysis of site and any existing buildings Measured plans of existing structures Preliminary analysis of Council & other authorities requirements Written confirmation of Brief & Budget Preparation of sketch plans and perspectives Preparation of preliminary Opinion of Cost Meeting to present the above Obtaining client's approval before commencing Design Development
