Avenir Developments Design Process
Explore the Avenir Developments Design Process for a seamless experience of your Home Building Journey
The process of designing and constructing a new project follows several steps over a period of time. Our process follows three core steps after our initial consultation, which can be personalized or added to, to suit each project and individual client: Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Documents.


HOW WE WORK
Ambitious plans demand an experienced team that is dedicated to realizing your vision. We are specialists in design and development process of high-quality construction projects, offering service and results that meet the expectations of the most discerning clients.
Our skilled team of architects & designers works closely with the clients and tailors our services to suit their needs while taking into consideration factors such as the nature of the project, budget constraints, financial model, other structural requirements like building bylaws and zoning regulations.
Working together with leading property developers, designers and clients across continents, we take pride in delivering high quality design solutions that are functional and aesthetically pleasing.

consultation
Consultation: Consultation is the first yet most important aspect of Avenir Developments Design Process. We provide all potential clients with a one-on-one meeting to discuss their vision and project expectations. In this meeting, we offer immediate input and feedback, including the investigation of site characteristics and design strategies. If a site has already been selected, we conduct a site visit to understand the land and the community. During the initial consultation, we also enjoy getting to know you and allowing you to learn more about us.
Pre-Design – (Optional): We offer this additional service to bridge the gap between the initial consultation and a formal Design Agreement. It involves exploring any unknowns before starting Schematic Design. The service is charged hourly and the cost is reimbursable in the contracted price if you decide to work with us. Investing a few hours can be valuable for site selection, troubleshooting challenging sites, or exploring design options for renovations or upfits, prior to finalizing the scope of work.

Vision & Feasibility – Laying the Foundation for Success
This initial phase is all about understanding your aspirations and establishing a solid groundwork for the project.
- Initial Consultation & Brief Development: Our journey begins with an in-depth discussion to understand your design aspirations, functional requirements, lifestyle or business needs, and budgetary considerations. We delve into your preferred aesthetic styles (e.g., contemporary, traditional Pakistani, minimalist, industrial), spatial needs, and desired ambiance. This stage is crucial for creating a detailed project brief that serves as our guiding document.
- Site Analysis & Evaluation (for Architecture & New Builds): For architectural projects, a thorough site analysis is conducted. This involves evaluating the plot’s topography, orientation, accessibility, surrounding environment, zoning regulations in your specific Pakistani city (e.g., Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad), and potential constraints. We also assess soil testing requirements and environmental impact factors.
- Feasibility Study & Budgetary Outline: Based on the project brief and site analysis, we conduct a feasibility study. This involves preliminary cost estimations, exploring different construction methods (e.g., RCC frame structure, steel structure), and identifying potential challenges. We provide an initial budgetary outline to ensure alignment between your vision and financial plan.

Conceptual Design & Schematic Development – Visualising the Dream
Once the vision is clear and feasibility confirmed, we move into the creative heart of the project.
- Conceptual Sketches & Mood Boards: Our design team translates the brief into initial conceptual sketches, exploring various layouts and forms. We create mood boards incorporating colour palettes, material suggestions, textures, and inspirational imagery to capture the desired look and feel. This visual exploration ensures we are on the right track with your design preferences.
- Schematic Design & 3D Visualisation: Based on your feedback, we develop schematic designs, including preliminary floor plans, elevations, and sections. Utilising advanced 3D modelling and visualisation software, we create realistic renderings and virtual walkthroughs. This allows you to experience the space before construction begins, facilitating better understanding and decision-making. For interior projects, this includes furniture layouts and lighting concepts.
- Preliminary Material & Finish Selection: We introduce initial ideas for materials and finishes, considering durability, aesthetics, local availability in Pakistan, and budget. This could range from local marble and stone to imported tiles and fittings. Keywords: architectural conceptualization, interior space planning, 3D rendering services Pakistan, virtual design, design iterations, material sourcing, color theory in design.
Saving Your Cost and Time
We design for people. Our considered and innovative design-led approach to contemporary architecture delivers what you want, and what you didn’t know you needed.

Design Development & Detailing – Refining the Blueprint
This stage involves refining the approved concept and developing detailed drawings and specifications.
- Detailed Architectural & Interior Drawings: We create a comprehensive set of working drawings and construction documents. This includes detailed floor plans with dimensions, elevations, sections, electrical layouts, plumbing diagrams, HVAC plans, and intricate joinery details. For interiors, this includes detailed cabinetry design, false ceiling designs, and specific finish schedules.
- Material & Finishes Finalisation: All materials, fixtures, fittings, and finishes are finalised. We provide samples and guide you through selecting the best options that align with the design concept, quality requirements, and budget. We consider factors like climate suitability in Pakistan and maintenance requirements.
- Structural Design & MEP Integration (for Architecture & Construction): Our structural engineers develop detailed structural designs ensuring the building’s safety and stability, adhering to Pakistani building codes. We coordinate with MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) consultants to integrate these systems seamlessly into the design.
- BOQ (Bill of Quantities) & Cost Refinement: A detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is prepared, itemising all materials, labour, and associated costs. This provides a more accurate project cost estimation and helps in tender evaluation if required.
The full set of drawings may incorporate documents from additional consultants, providing supplementary budgetary information and the contractor’s scope of work.
At this stage, client involvement may be minimal, as most architectural decisions have been made. However, minor adjustments may still be made during the initial stages of framing.

Procurement & Tendering (Optional/As Required) – Gathering the Resources
With the design and documentation complete, we move towards sourcing materials and contractors.
- Vendor & Contractor Selection: We can assist in selecting qualified and reliable contractors, vendors, and suppliers based on their track record, expertise, and competitive pricing. For turnkey solutions, our in-house teams manage this seamlessly.
- Tender Documentation & Evaluation (for larger projects): For larger projects, we prepare tender documents and manage the tendering process. We evaluate bids received and help you select the most suitable contractor.
- Material Procurement & Logistics: We oversee the procurement of materials, ensuring quality and timely delivery to the site. Our network of trusted Pakistani suppliers helps in sourcing authentic and high-quality products.
As a minimum commitment, we are readily accessible during the construction phase to address inquiries and provide clarifications to both the owner and the contractor. We always encourage open discussions to ensure clarity of our intentions before irreversible decisions are made and work commences. Following the issuance of the permit, we will have a conversation to determine our level of involvement throughout the construction process, ensuring adherence to the construction documents by the contractor.

Construction & Project Management – Bringing the Vision to Life
This is where the design materialises into a physical structure or transformed space.
- Site Mobilisation & Execution: The selected contractor begins site mobilisation and construction work as per the approved drawings and specifications. Our project management team ensures adherence to the design intent and quality standards.
- Regular Site Supervision & Quality Control: We conduct regular site inspections and supervision to monitor progress, ensure quality craftsmanship, and address any issues that may arise during construction. We maintain open communication with you and the contracting team.
- Timeline & Budget Management: Our project managers diligently track the project timeline and budget, providing regular updates and managing any variations or changes effectively. We aim for on-time project delivery within the agreed financial framework.
- Coordination with Contractors & Suppliers: We act as the central point of coordination between various contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to ensure smooth workflow and timely completion of different project components.

Interior Fit-Out & Styling – Adding the Finishing Touches
For interior design projects, or after the main structure is complete for architectural projects, this phase focuses on the aesthetics and functionality of the internal spaces.
- Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) Installation: We oversee the installation of all custom-made furniture, loose furniture, lighting fixtures, appliances, and other equipment as per the design plan.
- Finishing Works: This includes painting, wallpapering, flooring installation, false ceiling installation, and the fitting of all other specified finishes. Our attention to detail ensures a flawless finish.
- Soft Furnishings & Decor: We assist in the selection and placement of soft furnishings such as curtains, rugs, cushions, and decorative accessories that complement the overall design and add personality to the space. We often source unique pieces from local Pakistani artisans.
- Art & Accessories Curation: To elevate the design, we can help curate and place artwork and accessories that enhance the aesthetic appeal and reflect your personal taste or brand identity.

Handover & Post-Completion – Ensuring Lasting Satisfaction
The final stage marks the completion of the project and the beginning of your enjoyment of the newly designed space.
- Final Snagging & Rectification: Before handover, we conduct a thorough inspection with you to identify any minor defects or outstanding issues (snagging). These are promptly rectified to ensure your complete satisfaction.
- Project Handover & Documentation: Once all work is completed to the highest standard, we formally hand over the project to you. We provide all relevant documentation, including warranties, manuals, and as-built drawings.
- Post-Completion Support: Our relationship doesn’t end at handover. We offer post-completion support to address any queries or minor issues that may arise as you settle into your new space. We believe in building long-term relationships with our clients across Pakistan.
