44
cover a broad line of architectural services ranging from initial problem identification to activities that would allow the Architect to initially conceptualize an array of architectural and allied solutions.
The Pre- Design Services
45
The Pre-Design Services nominally include
consultation, prefeasibility studies, feasibility studies, site selection and analysis, site utilization and land-use studies, architectural research, architectural programming, space planning, space management studies, value management, design brief preparation, promotional services and other related activities.
46
When a Client calls upon the Architect to give oral or written advice and direction, to attend conferences, to make evaluations and appraisals regarding a contemplated project and similar activities, the Architect renders valuable inputs whether or not the Client pursues the project.
Consultation
47

They represent the Architect’s initial assessment of a project’s soundness, allowing the Client to promptly explore available/ readily identifiable directions / options. Researched / processed / validated secondary data are generally used for such studies e.g. electronic, print, etc.
Pre-Feasibility Studies
48
Feasibility Studies
Detailed analysis of the project based on pre-feasibility studies will determine the viability of a proposed development. The studies will set the project against present and future trends to forecast how it will perform over time. This requires primary data gathering and analysis.

50
Site Utilization and Land-Use Studies

54
Space Management Studies
An analysis of the space requirements of the project based on organizational structure and functional set-up pinpoints linkages and interaction of spaces.

56
Design Brief Preparation

57
Promotional Services

202
Consultation

203
Pre-Feasibility Studies
These preliminary studies involve the procurement, analysis and use of secondary information gathered for the project to aid the Client in early decision-making. They represent the Architect’s initial assessment of a project’s soundness, allowing the Client to promptly explore available/ readily identifiable directions / options. Researched / processed / validated secondary data are generally used for such studies e.g. electronic, print, etc.
204
Detailed analysis of the project based on pre-feasibility studies will determine the viability of a proposed development. The studies will set the project against present and future trends to forecast how it will perform over time. This requires primary data gathering and analysis.
Feasibility Studies
205

Site Utilization and Land-Use Studies
207
Architectural research entails the conduct of primary and secondary researches and assembled facts used as basis for conclusion.
Architectural Research
208

Architectural Programming
209

Space Management Studies
211
