9 Service Phases

Comprehensive Support Across All Service Phases by Our Architectural Firm

Our support concept forms an essential foundation for managing architectural projects. It divides the entire planning and construction process into various service phases that are carried out by architects. Each phase has its own tasks and goals, structured within a clearly defined workflow.

The service phases serve as a reliable guideline for executing construction projects and form a solid basis for collaboration between architects and clients. These phases cover the entire planning process, from the initial assessment to project supervision. Throughout each phase, the architect works closely with the client and other planners to ensure a successful, high-quality project that meets the client’s requirements and expectations.
