What is a building design for?
A building design is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Construction Law and its implementing regulations. Depending on the investment, it includes the relevant parts, including the site development design, the architectural and building design and the technical design. The scope of documentation submitted in the administrative procedure is not the same as the full set of studies needed to carry out the works.
What is a construction design for?
A construction design develops the solutions at a more detailed level to make it easier for contractors to carry out the works. It may contain more precise drawings, details, schedules, material solutions and information needed to coordinate the individual trades. The exact scope depends on the type of building, the solutions adopted and arrangements with the designer.
Is a construction design always required?
Do not assume that every investment requires an identical set of construction documentation. The scope needed depends on the scale and complexity of the building, the way the construction is run and the expectations of the investor and contractors. The more complex the solutions, the greater the importance a detailed study may have.
What should you agree with the studio?
Before signing the contract, check which parts of the documentation the offer includes, which specialist studies are covered, whether coordination is provided and what materials you will receive at the end of each stage. This will let you compare offers on their real scope, not only on price.
