The optimal architectural design process at CEEB Vietnam Architecture firm

A common story of architectural designing is that clients often respond that they are not satisfied with the design without giving any specific feedback.
With CEEB Vietnam Architecture firm point of view, Architecture is a solution to create a suitable living space for users. To have the right “solution”, it is necessary to define the right “problem”, understand the customer’s expectations when looking for an architectural design consultans.

 Another problem is the Client or contractor does not apply the design in construction exactly. In order to follow the theory that architecture is the solution to create a suitable living space for people, CEEB Architects offers the optimal architectural design process with a simple 7-step below.

01. Feasibility assessment

The feasibility assessment of a construction project is pivotal. This step is the time for CEEB architects to identify the suitable process and budget for clients’ expectations. Thanks to this, the project’s performance will be enhanced.
At this initial stage, CEEB vietnam Architects receive input/primary information of the project. CEEB can assess its feasibility if required.
Research the functions of the architecture with investors and investment consulting units. CEEB will propose the orientation of project implementation.
The level of impact resulting from the design of the business operation, cash flow as well as activities of the investor.
Survey the current status, environmental factors and the surrounding context of the construction.
Identify potential problems affecting the project.
Orient the design, including efficiencies & functions that architecture can bring.

02. Design Brief

It is an important step but most investors tend to ignore it. However, with CEEB Vietnam Architects, this step is essential for the project’s success. In CEEB, this step is considered as a magnetic needle for project management, from design to construction.
Set up and finalize the design brief of the project
It helps to identify clients’ demands and other main and supporting requirements
Contribute to the effectiveness of the design planning, avoiding incurred adjustments in the next phases which result in higher costs and waste of time.
This phase also strengthens the understanding between architects and clients. As a result, architects can develop suitable and worthwhile products for clients.

03. Concept design

Every Idea at CEEB is respected and carefully considered before being incorporated into the design. WE DO NOT CONSIDER “GOOD & BAD” IDEAS – ONLY IDEAS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE.
The concept design process was considered to match the previous design tasks and create better living values for the space and users.
Compare factors which can affect the project to optimize design performance

04. Basic & Technical design

Ideas will not be practical if they are far from technology. After the idea is approved, it will be developed to basic design and technical design.
Technical factors help the design more practical
After the idea is approved, it will be developed to basic and technical design.
Guarantee requirements and standards
Synchronously combined with technical infrastructure design, structural design and electrical and water system design, and cost estimate.
Supplement other specialized subjects (if any) to ensure building physics elements such as sound insulation, noise resistance, temperature resistance and natural ventilation, sunshade and light optimization.

05.Construction Document

With CEEB Vietnam Architects, designing an outstanding perspective is not the core value of architecture
What architects consider is control of the concept to achieve the aesthetic effect of the construction and reduce maintenance costs of the use process
Therefore, the construction documents at CEEB are designed in detail, considering the optimal construction solution, ease of maintenance, and increased life of components and structures.

06. Project optimization

After the designing phase, the project needs to be optimized by the combination of project management, performance optimization, investment cost reduction, avoiding waste and loss.
Break down the workload to prepare bidding documents making detailed construction estimates on the basis of current construction market prices.
Divide construction phases and reasonable investment flows.
Not only focus on luxurious and sophisticated designs.
CEEB is constantly transforming designs to match actual construction capabilities.
We create value by accompanying customers to realize designs in the most optimal way.

07. Construction inspection:

A sense of responsibility is always the first priority in CEEB Vietnam Architects. Behind a design is much effort because it is not easy to develop a project with aesthetic values and high quality which are worth commensurate with optimized cost
Big constructions tend to have a project management board to operate, however, it is such a challenge, even a construction battle in many factors such as the quality of materials, construction techniques, construction quality, operation and maintenance efficiency, and incurred costs, etc.
Therefore, the design value of CEEB is not only a standard for construction but also the companion of architects throughout the construction process to solve problems at the construction site.
