Let's continue by quickly analyzing each point.

1. Meeting with the client and the preliminary analysis of the type of project

The meeting with the client is the first step and is designed to collect information from the client about the furniture project, or the covered structure to be built.

In the specific case of a structure’s construction, this phase involves the collection of the client’s main functional and aesthetic needs regarding:

  • Location
  • Access points and openings
  • Heating;
  • Cooling;
  • Technical equipment required such as lighting, wired broadcasting, etc ...
  • Internal layout

2. Inspection and measurement survey

The inspection is mainly aimed at verifying the conditions of the location and, with them, any criticalities, including logistical ones, critical to the realization of what the client wants.

With suitable measuring systems, all relevant and necessary measurements are taken for the preliminary design.

3. Preliminary design

This consists of the identification of the optimal position in which the structure, layout, and general amount of the work will be placed.

4. Preliminary architectural phase: technical design and rendering

In this phase, the identification of the style desired by the client and all the aesthetic elements that affect the final result of the work under construction takes place. In parallel, the development of plans, elevations, and sections takes place up to the rendering of the job.

Everything is submitted to the customer to collect their observations and any changes and additions are accepted until a shared project is reached.

5. Executive planning phase

The executive design phase develops into further steps of fundamental importance for the success of the project, namely:

  • Check local laws;
  • Verify climatic elements that condition the project;
  • Structural calculations;
  • Static calculations;
  • Energy needs calculations;

Each of these points must be acknowledged and taken into due consideration in the realization of all executive working groups and in the choice of materials. Following the development of:

  • Structural design;
  • Architectural design;
  • Plant design;
  • Internal layout and partitions;
  • Specifications of the materials;

Subsequently, we have come to the production phase.

6. Production phase

The production phase takes place in Italy, where all the elements that contribute to the final realization of the work are produced and assembled, taking care of every detail, as requested by the client.
