We recognize the high demand for housing in each city of BC, which necessitates a significant increase in housing availability. The city planners are highly supportive of rezoning, assembly, and subdivisions to accommodate this growing need. We understand the urgency of these changes and strive to stay well-informed and updated ahead of others.
We are currently undertaking multiple rezoning projects, ranging from fourplexes to developing multifamily mixed-use projects with over 100 units. With our expertise and dedication, we are confident in delivering the best possible outcomes.
At Jay Jung Architect Inc., we pride ourselves on our unique approach to every job we do. Starting with a proposal that is tailored to your project, we outline in a step-by-step fashion, the services we provide and how we will guide you from start to finish. Depending on the size, we begin by contacting the city to gain a better understanding of the site and required drawing documentation associated with your project. With the information we learn about the existing conditions of your subject site, we create 3D Revit models and drawings in the early phase to expedite the design process. While laying out the design, we collaborate with you to create a program and a ballpark budget for the work. This helps us define the scope of work in accordance with the client’s expectations. We insist that clients participate fully in each and every phase in a project to ensure the best results.
Below are the basic steps of Each Design Process.
1. Zoning and Site Analysis
2. Site Plan and Block Diagram
3. Floor Plans (Using BIM-3D visualization programs)
4. Building Elevations and Sections (Using BIM-3D visualization programs)
5. Architectural Details
6. Renderings
We believe that the architect’s role is not to dominate the process, but rather to guide it to completion with the client’s top priorities in mind. This successful collaboration between client and architect will result in gracious, efficient and comfortable spaces in which to live and work.
Building permits are required before you build, demolish, repair, or alter most buildings. It is very important to get a Building Permit before beginning your project.
Once the building permit application with architectural and engineering drawings and documents is submitted, it goes through several stages of review by your project’s municipality. These typically involve city zoning bylaws and building code assessment. At this stage, it is possible for other additional documentation to be required such as a development permit, variance permit, site survey, or other information. You will be contacted as soon as possible regarding any additional information that is required.
Each municipality has different bylaws and timelines. We recommend visiting the website of your project’s municipality for more information.
Construction administration involves making decisions and the timely flow of information and decisions to enable completion of the project as required by the contract documents(Drawings and specifications) including review and observation of the construction project. This is important to the Owner not only to determine that the work is proceeding in conformity with the drawings and specifications, but also because it allows a final opportunity to detect any inaccuracies, ambiguities or inconsistencies in the design. With more than 15 years of experience from initial design to construction administration phase, we would love to help you create the best results possible with spaces designed specifically for the needs of you.
