At Darco Construction, our architectural design services are crafted to bring your vision to life with precision and creativity. Our holistic approach encompasses every aspect of the design process, ensuring that your project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, sustainable, and compliant with all relevant regulations. Here's an in-depth look at what our architectural design services include

ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY

Our architectural survey is the foundation of any successful project. We conduct a thorough analysis of the existing site conditions, including measurements, site features, and any existing structures. This survey helps us understand the spatial relationships and constraints, enabling us to develop a design that maximizes the potential of your property.

GEOTECHNICAL REPORT

Understanding the soil and subsurface conditions is vital for any construction project. Our geotechnical report provides an in-depth analysis of soil composition, bearing capacity, and potential geotechnical hazards. This information is essential for designing stable foundations and ensuring the long-term integrity of your structure.

ARBORIST/ENVIROMENTAL REPORT

Preserving the natural environment is a priority for Darco Construction. Our arborist and environmental report assesses the impact of your project on existing vegetation and wildlife. We provide recommendations for tree preservation, relocation, and environmental conservation to ensure sustainable development.

ELEVATION & SECTIONS

Elevations and sections are crucial for visualizing the exterior and interior of your project. We create detailed drawings that illustrate the building's height, proportions, and structural elements. These visuals help you understand how the final structure will look and function, allowing for any necessary adjustments before construction begins.

WINDOWS & DOORS SCHEDULE

Windows and doors play a significant role in the aesthetics and functionality of your building. Our window and doors schedule details the specifications, quantities, and installation methods for each unit. This ensures that all elements are ordered and installed correctly, contributing to the overall design and performance of the structure.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Our structural design services ensure that your building is safe, durable, and compliant with all codes and standards. We design the framework that supports your project, including beams, columns, and foundations. Our engineers work closely with the architectural team to integrate structural elements seamlessly into the overall design.

MEP DESIGN
(MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, AND PLUMBING)

MEP design is critical for the comfort and functionality of your building. Our team designs efficient and reliable mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that meet your needs. We focus on energy efficiency, safety, and ease of maintenance, ensuring that all systems are seamlessly integrated into the building.

LAND SURVEY

A detailed land survey is crucial for identifying the exact boundaries and topography of your property. Our expert surveyors use the latest technology to create accurate maps that guide the design and construction phases. This ensures that every aspect of your project is planned with precision, avoiding any legal or spatial issues.

SOIL REPORT

The soil report complements the geotechnical report by offering detailed insights into soil types, moisture content, and other critical factors. This data helps us determine the most suitable construction techniques and materials, ensuring that your project is built on solid ground.

LAYOUT & FLOOR PLAN

Our architects work closely with you to develop a comprehensive layout and floor plan that meets your needs and preferences. We focus on optimizing space, enhancing functionality, and ensuring a seamless flow throughout the building. Each plan is customized to reflect your lifestyle and vision.

INITIAL CONSTRUCTION BUDGET

A realistic construction budget is essential for the success of any project. We provide an initial budget estimate that includes all potential costs, from design and materials to labor and permits. This transparency helps you plan your finances and make informed decisions throughout the project.

FINISHES SCHEDULE

CIVIL DESIGN
