Operations 105, Class 4Architectural Process

Guest Lecturer

John was raised in Memphis, Tennessee, but gladly claims to be a Volunteer Texan! John received his BARCH at the University of Arkansas at the Fay Jones School of Architecture, and subsequently worked for Mr. Jones. After his early career in Arkansas where he worked with his present partner, Bob, John moved to Austin for graduate education in the Charles Moore program at UT. He taught at Texas A & M for a period, and then founded the Austin firm Jackson Architecture 20 years ago, which soon became Jackson Galloway Associates. John enjoys art and many outdoor activities, but most of all he takes pride in designing places and things of beauty…especially in Austin.

Class 4—Architectural Process

Last time we talked about How To Be a Great Client, the stakeholders and the participatory process that creates a design, and touched on the Process of Hiring the Architect.

Today we build on that foundation and review the overall process of services that an architect is typically responsible for. The goal is to give you a context for words like “programming,” “design development,” and “contract documents.”

We will look at some examples of the phases of services.

The Typical Architectural Process

Programming (Basic Services) Master Planning (Special Services) Schematic Design 15% Design Development 20% Construction Documents 40% Bidding and Negotiation 5% Construction Administration 20%Total Effort 100%


Programming - (1 to 4 weeks) “Problem Seeking”

Given your unique “DNA” define the “problem.”

(Reference Kick-Off Meeting Questions)

(Reference pg. 10 of JGA brochure for Collaboration)

Project future growth from current patterns.

(Reference Attendance Data and Projections)


Programming continued…. List the functional needs

Ministry Space

(Reference Square Footage Program) Site Space

Ball fields, Outdoor baptistry, Prayer Gardens, etc.


Programming continued…. List the functional needs….

Off-Site Space

Occasionally, the church is in need of “off site” solutions to their spatial problems, or even site problems.• Stories…


Programming continued…. Define the Attributes of the Space

(Reference Kick-off Meeting Questions)


Programming continued…. Explore Concepts for Solving the Problem

Master Planning ( 4 to 8 weeks)* Initial interface with the city/county

(Reference Development Flow)

* Depends on complexity of governmental process and could take months

Schematic Design (4 to 8 weeks) Size spaces to scale - “Floor Plans” Size vertical space to scale - “Elevations” Size outdoor needs - “Site Plan” Express materials/space - “3 Dimensionally”

Perspective Presentations

(Refer to Greater Mount Zion Power Point) Fly Through Presentations (Additional Service)

(Refer to Greater Mount Zion Fly Through movie)


Design Development (6 to 10 weeks) Design of Systems to compliment Schematic

Civil Engineer Site related water - Storm, Sewage, Domestic Parking, Landscape design

MEP Eng. - Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing Restrooms Kitchens (Kitchen Consultant possibly) HVAC

Structural Engineer Foundation, Columns, Beams


Bidding and Negotiating (4 to 6 weeks) Project Delivery Methods:

Refer to Workman Commercial’s Construction Delivery Methods for Churches

Traditional Design - Bid - Build Design - Build Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R)


Construction Documentation (8 to 12 weeks)Depends on the scope of work defined by the DD process

Construction Drawings and Specifications


Construction Administration 6 to 14 monthsDepends on the scope of work defined by the CD process.
