Most of our projects progress through the following design stages.
STAGE 1: PRELIMINARY SERVICES (approximately RIBA design stages A and B)
First, the client's requirements are discussed. Including timescale, financial limits, scope of services and terms of appointment. A lighting design brief can then be formulated if required.
STAGE 2: CONCEPT DESIGN (approximately RIBA design stage C)
Presentation of an outline lighting scheme, in the form of: sketch visuals, outline luminaire information, typical layouts, budgets, electrical loads, running costs and energy saving strategies.
STAGE 3: DETAIL DESIGN DEVELOPMENT (approximately RIBA design stages D-F)
When the client has chosen a concept, we develop it into detailed specifications and drawings. Maintenance, energy and installation costs are calculated, and compliance with legislation is examined.
