To start out the design services review, it's worth noting that every full-scale service project typically consists of five basic phases: preliminary design (planning services), development of design, construction documents, bidding and implementation. It is dependant on the nature of the project (new building/new construction, existing building/new construction, addition, remodel, etc.), time schedule, its location, etc., whether the client will require any or all of the phases listed above. Many companies also provide partial services for the preliminary design phase and design development.

Perhaps, every design services review would be incomplete without the detailed list of design phases inherent in nearly all design projects. But please note that the list of design phases given in our design services review reflects just an average set of phases and services which, of course, may vary with different projects.

A.)Phase of Preliminary Design:

1. Program development
2. Analysis of project site and building conditions
3. Presentations of design
4. Modifications of design

B.)Phase of Design Development:

1. Preliminary design reviewing with the interior designer to attain a finished coordinated
    product
2. Preliminary design reviewing with the client and developing suitable details
3. Preliminary ceiling design
4. Perspective Studies
5. Preliminary Cabinetry Design
6. Cabinetry Drawings

C.) Phase of Construction Document:

1. Architectural Plans
2. Reflected Ceiling Plan
3. Electrical Plan
4. Lighting Plan
5. Plumbing Plan
6. Cabinetry Drawings
7. Bidding Phase:
8. Bidders selection
9. Invitation to bidder
10. Analysis of bids

D.)General contractor, sub-contractor and cabinet maker selection

E.) Agreement between general contractor and client

F.) Construction schedule: The construction Phase:

On-site inspection of construction to help guarantee that the project as stated in the construction documents is supervised by the chief contractor and sub-contractors in a satisfactory and effective way. These inspections may take in the following:

- Preliminary review of project and construction meeting
- Checking layout of the walls
- Checking the electrical installation and underground plumbing
- Checking the construction of the walls and review the locations of electrical services
   and the plumbing with the relevant sub-contractors
- Checking the electrical installation and plumbing before closing the access to the
    interior of the walls
- Checking the ceiling installation and the wall finishes
- Checking the cabinet installation in development
- Final checking of the job: finished carpentry, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry and interior 
   finishes.

The last but very important thing to be said in our design services review is that each project is distinctive; hence, setting up a "Scope of Services" is important to indemnify that all parties realize what is expected. Supplementary research could be required to settle on the best solution. And, during the course of the creative process, it is crucial to manage the project down to the very last aspect to insure satisfaction of the client and a successful mission for all involved. Note that design services are frequently tailored to meet the specific needs of the client rooted in the nature of the project.
