B.C. Ogu Consulting Architects & Developers

My work in both architecture services and development, encompasses a broad range of activities that bridge the gap between design and construction. Here’s a breakdown of what my work involve:

Architecture Services
Concept Design: I start by understanding the client’s needs and vision, then create initial design concepts that capture the project’s essence.
Schematic Design: This phase involves developing detailed drawings and models to illustrate the design, including spatial relationships, scale, and form.
Design Development: I refine the design, specifying materials, finishes, and other details. This phase includes creating detailed drawings for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Construction Documents: Preparing comprehensive drawings and specifications that contractors use to build the project.
Construction Administration: Overseeing the construction process to ensure the project is built according to the plans and specifications.
Development
Site Analysis and Acquisition: Identifying and acquiring suitable sites for development, considering factors like zoning, environmental impact, and market potential.
Project Management: Coordinating all aspects of the project, from design to construction, ensuring it stays on schedule and within budget.
Financial Planning: Developing budgets, securing financing, and managing costs throughout the project.
Permitting and Approvals: Navigating the regulatory landscape to obtain necessary permits and approvals.
Construction Oversight: Working closely with contractors and subcontractors to ensure the project is executed as planned.
Benefits of Combining Both Roles
Holistic Vision: As both an architect and developer, you have a comprehensive understanding of the entire process, from initial concept to final construction.
Efficiency: My dual role can streamline communication and decision-making, reducing delays and ensuring a cohesive vision throughout the project.
Market Value: My expertise in design can enhance the aesthetic and functional quality of the projects, potentially increasing their market value.
My work is crucial in shaping the built environment, balancing creativity with practicality to create spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
