ARCHITECTURE

  • Site Plan
  • Floor Plans
  • Two Section (Number of sections depending on the specific of each building)
  • Elevations
  • 3D Model and Renderings of the building
  • Architectural report – explaining the building in text.
  • Architectural Details (if needed and in specific locations)
  • Plans with furniture layout
  • 3D Model and Renderings of the purposed interior

PASSIVE HOUSE

In every project we follow the requirements of the Passive House Standard. Passive house requires strict following of the following aspects:

  • Thermal Insulation – We suggest the type and thickness of the insulation in different areas of the building.
  • Windows & Doors – We specify the necessary profiles and glazing in order to achieve maximum energy efficiency. We follow the shading that might occur depending on the design of the building and/or local environment.
  • Ventilation – We present, as part of the HVAC section, Plans Indicating the layout and the air distribution information of the ventilation and the climatization system. We incorporate a Heat recovery ventilator (HRV) and propose the proper unit in order to achieve maximum energy efficiency. We also provide the necessary calculation for the proper climatization units that should be installed and a 3D Model of the proposed HVAC System
  • Air Tightness – we suggest proper placement, and the type of the air tight membrane and tapes.
  • Thermal Bridges – We design details representing the points of the house where thermal bridges might occur –there are details need to be presented and calculated with specific software that calculates those thermal bridges.
  • All the information regarding the Passiveness of the building is presented in a PHPP calculation report /PHPP is a software with which a building is calculated to meet the requirements to become a Passive House for different regions.
  • Photovoltaic and solar water heaters are a major item on Passive houses – We calculate the energy needs of the house and we calculate and design the size and Location of the PV and the solar water heating panels.
  • Upon completion of the project (for an additional fee) the certifiers of the Passive House Institute of Germany, can visit and, test and certify that the building meets their standards, and receive the Passive House certificate and Plaque.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN

We design our buildings using different types of construction and materials providing the following reports:

  • structure analysis – each building is calculated to meet the requirements of the local building code.
  • Structure 3D Model
  • Structure Report – Explaining the buildings structure in text

Lately we tend to use metal for wall and roof structural elements. The material we use is LGS (Light gauge steel) /CFS (Cold formed Steel). We prefer this type of structure, because we have found the functional qualities of the LGS/CFS structure to be better in erecting small buildings up to 3 floors. The wall and roof panels are produced off-site reducing the construction time, they are very light, produced very accurately which is a great benefit to the different construction teams, and also there is a great reduction of waste.

We also present the following reports, as an addition, when we use CFS structure:

  • Design of the CFS Structure
  • Bill of quantity and bill of cost
  • Assembly Plans
  • Additional details if needed 

COST ANALYSIS

  • For each of the upper mentioned services we provide bill of quantity.
  • For each material in the bill of quantity we add pricing based on local suppliers and other providers. Each material can be discussed with the contractor and/or the client.
  • We provide also labour analysis – pricing and work days. For this analysis a discussion with the contractor is mandatory prior the construction of the building.

ONSITE PROJECT MANAGMENT

With an additional software we can provide the contractor a direct connection with our project team in order to discuss specifics regarding the construction of the building, additional plans or details that can easily be transferred to the phone or tablet of the onsite project manager.

ADDITIONAL

If needed and if we are allowed based on local building codes, we can provide additional plans regarding the building such as:

Electrical Installations: 

  • Site Plan – Indicating the location of the main electrical box and the path of the outside main cables of the electrical grid.
  • Electrical Plan – Sockets and Main electrical consumers.
  • Lighting plan – Lights and switches.
  • Fuse box scheme.
  • Photovoltaic schemes – Location of the PV Panels and connecting drawing.
  • Lighting Safety Plan/Scheme

Water Supply and Plumbing:

  • Water Supply Plan
  • Water Supply 3D Scheme
  • Plumbing Plan
  • Plumbing 3D Scheme
  • Site Plan – Indicating location of septic tanks or local sewage, main water supply source and the connection to the building.
  • Connection Scheme for Solar Panels Installation.
  • Details for the proposed Solar Panels and Boiler.

Additional reports:

  • Fire Safety Plan/Scheme and Report
  • Construction garbage disposal report and plan
  • Plan for the safety of the construction process
