Sketch design for a specific project
ALMECO develops sketch designs. A formal sketch design is prepared for a specific project from the brief and source material required by the applicable procedure.
Pre-design preparation
Sketch designs and documents needed before design starts
ALMECO develops sketch designs, reviews project readiness, and prepares technical briefs and standard pre-design packages.
Parameter-based concept for early option selection
If the site, architectural planning brief or other source information is not yet available, ALMECO can prepare a parameter-based concept using agreed assumptions. It supports option selection and briefing, but is not represented as a formal sketch design for approval.
01
Other pre-design services
Commission one document, one package or limited advisory support.
Design-readiness review
We review available material and issue a list of gaps, required actions, owners and the safest next step.
Design brief
We define the asset purpose, key parameters, client requirements, scope, inputs and acceptance criteria.
Investigation briefs
We prepare briefs for geodetic, geotechnical and other required investigations and for technical inspection of the agreed asset.
Standard pre-design package
We compile the project passport, input register, briefs, responsibility matrix and roadmap to the start of design.
Pre-tender document review
We check whether the brief and input material are sufficient to request comparable proposals from designers or investigation firms.
02
Typical standard pre-design package
The final contents are fixed in the brief and depend on the asset. The package supports the client decision and the subsequent investigation or design appointment.
Short project passport, objectives and initial technical-economic parameters
Register of available and missing inputs
Client requirements and draft design brief
Briefs for agreed investigations and inspections
Responsibility matrix with owner and due date
Main constraints, risks and client decisions
Roadmap to design and structured handover package
03
Limited subscription advisory
After the package is issued, a small monthly allowance can be agreed for advice and document review.
- one working meeting per week
- review of an agreed number of documents
- written comments and recommendations
- short weekly note: completed work, open issues and next steps
04 · Important service information
What to keep in mind
A formal sketch design is prepared for a specific project under the applicable procedure. A parameter-based concept supports early development and does not replace the sketch design. The service scope, source information and responsibilities are defined in the agreement.
