HOW WE WORK?

Best in the list of Architectural Firm In Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Collection of Project Information:

When a prospective client visits our office or calls us over the phone, we try to understand his/her service requirements. During the conversation, we try to know the plot size, connecting road width, location of Land, ownership history, Number of stories, types of projects, etc. we also try to visualize the socio-economic conditions of the project area.

Submission of Financial Proposals:

Very soon after collecting project information, we prepare a detailed financial proposal. The proposal consists of Scope of Works, Terms and Conditions, Work Methodology, List of Deliverables, Time Schedule, Professional Fees and Payment Methods. We send the proposal through the client’s email or deliver a hard copy if required.

Negotiations and Alternations:

After getting a financial proposal, most of the clients want to go for negotiations or alternations of project features. Generally, we arrange a virtual meeting for distance clients or a physical meeting for nearby ones. In this stage, the financial proposal may be revised or remain the same as before. We always try to create a win-win situation with clients after discussing every pros and con.

Signing of Contract Agreement/MOU:

After negotiations and alternations, if clients feel to work with us, we formally go for signing a contract or MOU. The total work process and payment schedules are finally reviewed. Most of the time, we invite the client to visit our office to sign the Agreement. We take signing money from clients at this stage.

Project Site Visit:

Before undergoing any design works, we always try to visit the project location along with the designated Architect and Structural Engineer. The recognizance and geographical features of the project were noted carefully. For complicated and irregular Land, we always conduct a Digital Topographic survey to get the exact dimensions of Land.

Preparation of Conceptual Plan:

Before starting to prepare a conceptual plan, we once again have a sitting with clients to have detailed information. In this stage, we note down the requirements of Landscape, Basement Floor, Ground Floor, Typical Floor, Roof Top Management, Color Themes, Material Use, Project Theme, and also the Construction Process. Finally, we prepare a ConceptualPlan and deliver it to the clients for review and feedback.

Plan Review and Approval:

In this step, clients take time to review the conceptual plan and give their feedback. If any Logical Corrections are required, we further revise the conceptual plan. If everything is alright and clients become satisfied with the plan, we take approval from them. Sometimes, need to have a physical meeting for getting the conceptual plan final.

3D Visualization and Animation:

3D Visualization is the most important part of the project consultation phase. This is the graphical and visual presentation of a design. The client can visualize his/her future project, getting the 3D prospective view. Sometimes we prepare the project animation as per the client’s requirements. We also take the approval of the 3D view and animation from the client.

Preparation of Detail Design:

In this stage, we go for detailed Architectural Design, Floor Plans, Cross-Sections, Elevations, Furniture Layouts, Building Utility Layouts, etc. The Structural Analysis and Design were also performed in this stage. We use ETABS, STAAD Pro Software for Structural Analysis, and GEAR, SAFE for Structural Design. Electrical and Plumbing Design has also been covered in this stage. We follow Time Saver Standards for Architectural Designs and BNBC, ACI Codes for Structural Designs.

Design Review and Finalization:

When all necessary designs i.e. Architectural, Structural, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Safety, etc been completed, we call an in-house review meeting with Design Architects, Structural Engineers, and all other personnel associated with the project. An open discussion undergoes every pros and con and finally the outcomes noted down. The reviews and meeting outcomes are further more implemented with every design segment.

Design Print and Delivery:

The final design goes to design template settings and proper paginations. Generally, we print the design Book on standard A3 paper. In the case of Large Projects, we print them on A2 or A1 paper also. The printed design Books are delivered to the clients duly signed by authorized persons of SHELLMARK LIMITED. We also deliver the soft copies of all designs along with a Layout setting sheet.

Cost Estimation and BOQ:

When all design works get completed, then the next major issue is project cost. We Estimate the whole project works in detail and itemize cost data tables as per PWD Schedule. We also consider the present market rates besides of PWD schedule. Itemize BOQ has also been prepared to supply to the potential Building Construction Companies. We deliver the BQQ and cost Estimation data-sheet in printed format.

Project Top Supervision:

The project Layout implementation is the first and important part of starting construction. our project Engineers are always moving at the site to confirm the Layout setting is correct or not according to the design. We also have top super vision during construction. Our Architects and Structural Engineers Generally visit projects at different stages of works when required.

Consultation During Construction:

In this stage, the contractor or client needs some supports or clarifications from a consultant. Our Architects and engineers are always ready to consult with you during office hours. We also have 24/7 Live Chat support through our website to ensure our after-sales support is smother and effective.

Cost Estimation and BOQ:

OUR DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Leading Building Design Company in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Location of the Project:

Before starting any design works, first of all, we try to find the exact location of the project. Different types of projects are feasible at different Geographical Locations. We always try to guide our valued clients to build the right type of building at the right place.

The Type of Project:

Knowing the project type is the very preliminary part of program finalization. We try to know the types of projects i-e Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, Hospital, Hotel, Duplex, Triplex, Vacation House, or any other categories.

Road Width Connected to The Project:

Communication and Road network in vital considerations for any size of the project. A specious and easy road network enhances the value of a project. In case of plan Approval from RAJUK, CDA, RDA, KDA, City Corporations, or Pouroshova, a wider road includes an additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to the building. Resulting in more floor are coverage and more profitable projects.

Detailed Area Plan (DAP) Check:

The Detailed Area plan abbreviated as DAP was first introduced in 2008 with about 1528 square kilometers area in Dhaka City. There are different types of Land used Like an Urban Residential Zone, where different types of buildings are permitted to build. Also, there are some restricted zone, where any type of building cannot be permitted to build, Like, Water Body, Floor Flow zone, Overlay zone, etc. We always guide the project owner; which types of buildings are permitted to which area or not.

Project Budget:

Project budget is a vital issue for any project planning. We try to outline an estimated budgetary plan to the project owner, before going through the final project planning. We also provide item wiseProjectCost Estimation and Bill of Quantities(BOQ) at the end of the detail design. It helps the project owner to get a Loan from any Financial institution.

Project Approval:

Whiter it is a small or large project; approval must be taken from competed authorities Like RAJUK, CDA, RDA, KDA, Pouroshova, or City Corporations. We prepare the detailed project approval sheet and supply it to the owner, duly signed by the Enlisted Architects and Engineers.

Cost Effective Design:

It is a major responsibility of the designer to minimize the project cost. Project cost can be minimized in a number of ways like rational analysis and design of the project, material use, local resources utilization, etc. We at SHELLMARK, try to deliver a cost-effective and rational design to reduce the entire project cost.

Return of Investment:

Every project owner Looks for the ultimate returns from his/her investment over the project Lifetime. Resources planning and timely hand of the projects always reduce the breakeven of a project. We try to deliver a detailed ROI plan for our valuable clients, so that can easily get back their returns within the possible shortest time.

Exterior Beauty:

We believe in the exterior beauty of the project may Lead the potential users and customers. Our project Visualization and Animation helps the project owner to visualize their future projects before being constructed. We provide modern and contemporary design to all of our projects.

Project Features and Amenities:

We always List out the project features before starting any design works. The unit facilities, car parking, number of stories, number of basement floors, building utility, cross ventilations, privacy, safety, security, color themes, material use, rooftop management are covered in this part of the design.

Durability and Life span:

Generally, a building is designed for about 100 years of its life span. We design all the sub-structural and super structural elements ensuring their lifetime durability. We consider the earthquake and wind Load while analyzing and design of a building. Which enhances the durability and lifetime of a building structure.

Community Participation:

Community participation in a project depends on the Socio-economic Conditions and Demographics of the users. We try to create some participatory facilities of projects, that ensure community participation, i.e rooftop community hall, Gymnasium, waiting for Louse, etc.

Environment Friendly Design:

We consider the environmental Impact of a project while designing. Use of Local material, creating green spaces, use of the solar panel, rain water harvesting, waste water treatment, sewerage treatment is our environment-friendly design considerations.

Setting the Trends:

We are the promising company to update and reshuffle ourselves with the current Trends of Design Philosophy. We are constantly growing and enhancing our design capabilities to handle any kind of project in Bangladesh.
