Welcome back to From Concept to Closeout — a scenario-based construction series that takes you behind the scenes of real-world building projects.

04 of 20 In this episode, the sketches begin.
We’re entering Schematic Design — the first official design phase where a project starts to take visual form.

00:00 Introduction
00:20 What is Schematic Design (SD)?
00:50 Sketching Possibilities: Shapes, Layouts, Concepts
01:12 Coordination with Owner, Engineers & Estimators
01:45 Exploration, Not Perfection
02:05 Sample Project (Washington, D.C.)
02:31 What Comes After SD

Schematic Design (SD) is all about the big picture — not yet construction details, but the early moves that shape the entire building:

👷‍♂️ What happens in SD:
– Architects test building shapes, unit layouts, circulation paths
– Engineers begin to flag load paths and technical needs
– Owners review concepts and give feedback
– Cost estimators check early budget alignment
– Sustainability and value engineering start to appear

📍 In our D.C. multifamily project, SD gave form to the idea:
A massing study, general footprint, and basic layout — enough for the team to align before deeper development begins.

🔍 It’s still early. Multiple options are explored.
This is where vision meets feasibility.
