Of Here provides a wide range of services that integrate both the design and construction aspects of a project. Here is an overview of our process:
Research & Analysis
Design & Communication
Construction & Management
Site Research: Observing and documenting climate, flora and fauna, geological and topographical formations, vernacular building methodologies, and local resources available for construction.
Site Selection & Surveys: Assessing the suitability of a site for a project and gathering local code requirements.
Programming: Gathering client's requirements to understand the constraints, such as desired areas, time frame and budget.
Conceptual Design: Initial design iterations developed through sketches, drawings, models, and conversations with clients.
Schematic Design: Drawing preliminary floor plans, elevations, sections to understand site and desired design in greater accuracy.
Design Development: Documenting details of design, materials, and systems. Using tools such as 3D modelling, visualisation, and walk-throughs to communicate the design to clients.
Technical Development: Collaborating with engineers and builders to incorporate and document details of design.
Code compliance and permitting: Ensuring the design meets the local building codes and regulations. Preparing and submitting documents necessary for permits.
Design-Build Approach: Ensuring that the design and construction are in coordination.
Analysis of Materials: Calculating cost estimates and quantities. Organising delivery of materials and storage.
Construction Management and Participation: Closely working with builders during construction* and managing communication with client.
Review: Checking all final details are complete and creating a record of as-built drawings of completed building.
*Of Here has public liability insurance.
