We develop the exterior appearance from the supplied building plans. The work brings wall finishes, doors, windows and the selected outdoor areas into coordinated views, with material locations identified for review.
| Exterior area | Design and selection work |
|---|---|
| Facade Composition | The relationship of wall finishes, openings and material changes across the agreed elevations. |
| Entrance Areas | Door appearance, surrounding wall finishes and entrance surfaces coordinated with the existing architectural arrangement. |
| Terrace & Patio Surfaces | The agreed exterior finish direction and its visual relationship to the adjoining building and openings. |
| Material & Product Selections | Candidate finishes, frame colors and product references that can be developed into the relevant purchasing list. |
The design considers the size and distribution of exterior materials alongside the window and door appearance. Stone, panels, metal accents or coated surfaces can create different visual relationships. The proposed selections are coordinated with the supplied elevation and the products being considered.
Doors & WindowsEntrance surrounds, paving and terrace surfaces are reviewed as part of the agreed exterior area. Color, surface character and transitions to the building affect the appearance. Levels, drainage, foundations and other site-construction decisions remain with the local project team.
Tile CategoriesWall materials, frame colors and paving are reviewed together. Each candidate finish is tied to a facade area, opening or outdoor surface, so the concept can be developed into product selections.
We compare stone patterns, panel proportions and smooth or textured finishes on the elevation. The concept identifies where each finish starts and stops, so the material choice can be reviewed with the entrance and window arrangement.
Frame color, exposed profiles and door finishes are reviewed against the adjoining wall material. The selected appearance then needs a matching product choice, with dimensions and installation details developed through the product and local design work.
We review material transitions at openings, corners and terrace edges, including where exposed joints fall in the composition. The concept establishes the appearance; support, weatherproofing and fixing details require product-specific information and local technical design.
We use architectural references and local project information to define the exterior-design brief. Candidate products are considered with the requirements supplied for their intended location.
| Project input | Information required | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Plans, Elevations & Dimensions | The existing architectural drawings, verified dimensions and opening arrangement. | The building form and areas used for the exterior views and material placement. |
| Appearance & Material Direction | Preferred references, candidate finishes and any existing product selections. | The palette, visual priorities and selections to retain or develop. |
| Location & Local Requirements | Project location, exposure and relevant requirements from the architect or local specialists. | The product information and suitability questions to address before a selection is finalized. |
| Product & Installation Interfaces | Available door, window, cladding or surface-product data and local installation conditions. | The distinction between the visual selection, product-specific detail and the local team’s engineering or site work. |
The exterior views and material direction provide a common basis for review. The selected appearance is then connected to the relevant product inquiries, with differences between a design preference and the available product information identified.
We review the current drawings and identify the facades, entrance or outdoor areas included. The existing architecture, design stage and local professional responsibilities establish the basis for the work.
The agreed views bring wall finishes, frames, doors and exterior surfaces into the same composition. Comments relate to the affected area or selection, so revisions address the actual design decision.
Where supply is included, material and product preferences are developed into item inquiries and quotations. Dimensions, technical data and installation interfaces follow the relevant product and local-team review before order commitments.
A design-only commission ends with the files listed in the proposal. Product supply is a separate engagement; final site measurement, structural work, permits and construction remain with the responsible project professionals.
The fee follows the elevations and exterior areas to develop, the state of the existing design and the requested level of views and material coordination. A finish update to an established elevation involves different work from several facade directions.
The group’s design services connect exterior appearance and material choices with the wider product supply. We develop the proposed design around the available architectural information and the materials, doors and windows under consideration.
GEORGE Design & Drawing SupportYes. Existing plans and elevations establish the building form, openings and dimensions for the exterior work. We identify the facades and areas to develop, then coordinate the proposed appearance and materials within that brief. Changes affecting the architecture return to your architect for review.
This service concerns exterior appearance, material direction and agreed product coordination. Structural design, code review, permit documents and site engineering remain with qualified professionals at the project location.
Yes. Frame color, door appearance, wall materials and the proportions shown on the elevation can be reviewed as one scheme. Product dimensions, installation details and applicable performance requirements then need the selected product information and local project review before the supply list is finalized.
Our proposal identifies the exterior areas included. Entrance and terrace finishes can form part of the visual scheme. Landscape construction, drainage, pool structures or equipment, and on-site work are specialist tasks of their own instead of automatic parts of the exterior-design commission.
The selection takes account of the location, exposure and requirements supplied by your local team. Proposed products need their own material and performance information. The relevant professionals review suitability for the actual assembly and use.
Our proposal lists the elevations or areas, views, material-selection work, product coordination and files included. PDF, CAD and review images can be provided within the agreed design brief. Fees and review rounds depend on that work; additional areas or a changed design direction are quoted before the extra work starts.
