The Process
We have developed a way to divide
projects into definable phases. This allows the client the
opportunity to make some decisions as the ideas come to
life. Most projects are divided into the following three
phases.
Phase One / Programming
and Conceptual Design:
During this
phase, we determine the needs of the client and research
the various technologies that might apply. The client is
provided with a list of options and rough budgets to help
understand the cost of technologies involved.
Phase Two / Design
Development:
Having made
decisions based on practical applications of both
technology and budget, a direction is made from the
information provided in Phase One and during Phase Two, the
idea is further refined to include all associated trades
and necessary design documentation as it will be applied.
Budgets are refined and firm cost is determined.
Phase Three / Project
Implementation:
This is the
actual production phase in which all fabrication,
programming, media development, coordination and
installation are made.
By approaching a project in this way, the client has
minimal exposure in Phase One and the opportunity to make
modifications if needed before committing to move forward.
The Design Development done in Phase Two is approached with
the critical information in place. And as a final check,
both of the above are in place before the more costly
expenses in Phase Three are incurred.
