Acoustic Services

Acoustic design involves planning and design that controls sound transmission to match the architectural design concept.
Physical plans are necessary for site development and require consideration of the host site's economic systems, laws and regulations, tax structure, infrastructure, utilities, and other factors.

Site Development Planning (SDP)

SDP involves translating ideas into physical plans and providing a multi-dimensional perspective.
SDP is concerned with the general quality of settings for people, activities, buildings, and other natural and man-made phenomena.
The Architect undertakes site planning for projects requiring multiple buildings and structures with amenities, facilities, services, and utilities.
If other services are required, such as environmental studies, feasibility studies, market analysis, or impact analysis, they should be performed by qualified professionals with the Architect acting as the Lead Professional.
Depending on project complexity, the Architect may hire Specialist Consultants to help validate certain features.

Comprehensive Development Planning (CDP)

CDP expands on physical planning by including other activities necessary for handling components involved in creating a Master Development Plan (MDP).
CDP Services cover the range of services from primary data gathering through the formulation of the MDP and preparation of the environmental impact assessment/statement (EIA/S).
While the planning team is multi-disciplinary, CDP Services focus on non-physical components like financial, economic, administrative-political-institutional-legal, socio-cultural, and environmental aspects.
MDP Services prioritize the physical planning and engineering components that translate inputs from initial CDP stages.

Special Building / Facility Planning and Design

Considerations include safety, cost-effectiveness, functionality, and aesthetics.

Post-Design Services

The Consulting Architect must have experience in Pre-Construction, Construction, Post-Construction, and services under SPP Documents 204, 206, and 207.
The Architect prepares the Fire Safety and Life Assessment Report (FALAR) required by R.A.No. 9514, the 2008 Fire Code of the Philippines and its 2009 IRR.

Dispute Avoidance and Resolution

The Architect must be knowledgeable in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods prescribed under R.A.No. 9285, the ADR Act of 2004, and its IRR.
