Crafting exceptional aquatic environments through a seamless process.
Meet Our Process
Ready to see how we craft exceptional aquatic spaces?
Smart Aquatics follows a proven three-step process that covers every stage of your project:
Design
The creative phase is where we shape your vision.
Engineering
Refining the design into a functional, buildable project.
Implementation
Overseeing construction to ensure your vision becomes reality.
Design
The design phase is where your vision begins to take shape.
We work closely with you to develop concepts, ensuring your ideas are captured and refined.
From initial sketches to 3D renderings, we craft a clear representation of the final project, giving you a tangible preview of what’s to come.
Some key aspects of this phase include:
- Water Feature Layouts
- Preliminary Budgeting
- 3D Renders & Animations
- Aquatic Experience Design
Engineering
Once the design is finalized, we dive into the technical details.
Our engineering team ensures that all aspects of the project are aligned with the design intent while meeting strict regulations and standards.
This phase transforms creative ideas into detailed, constructible plans that guide the entire building process.
Our engineering services cover:
- Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Drawings
- Structural Engineering
- Utility Load Calculations
- Equipment Specifications
Implementation
With the design and engineering plans in place, we oversee the construction process to ensure perfect execution.
Our involvement during this stage guarantees that your vision is realized down to the smallest detail. We handle challenges and coordinate with contractors to deliver a flawless final product.
The implementation phase includes:
- Site Inspections
- Contractor Coordination
- Equipment Installation Guidance
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you curious about our design and engineering process? Here are some frequently asked questions that explain how we approach each phase:
What is included in your architectural design services?
We provide creative design concepts, sketches, and visual presentations. Construction drawings are handled under our engineering services.
How does the design process work?
We begin with a consultation to define goals and move into conceptual designs, refining ideas until we reach a complete visual presentation.
How long does the design process take?
Depending on the complexity, it can take a few weeks to a few months.
How much do architectural design services cost?
Costs vary by project complexity, with fees based on a fixed rate or hourly charge.
What level of involvement is required from me during the design process?
Your input is crucial to align the design with your vision, especially in the initial stages.
Can you provide 3D models and visualizations?
Yes, 3D models are part of our design package to help visualize the project in detail.
What happens if I want to proceed with construction?
We’ll transition to our engineering services, where detailed construction drawings and specifications will be created.
Do your design services include site visits or inspections?
Site visits are part of our consulting services, which you can engage separately.
What types of construction drawings are included in your engineering services?
Our engineering services cover structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) drawings to ensure every element is fully integrated.
How do you coordinate construction drawings with architectural plans?
We work closely with architects and landscape architects to align all technical elements with the design intent, minimizing risks during construction.
How do you handle revisions and updates to construction drawings during the project?
We use digital platforms for real-time collaboration, ensuring swift communication and maintaining the most up-to-date documents.
What role do as-built drawings play in your engineering services?
As-built drawings document all changes made during construction and are essential for future maintenance or expansions.
How does your use of BIM enhance the construction drawing process?
BIM allows us to create detailed 3D models, improving coordination between design and technical elements to prevent construction errors.
What should architects and landscape architects expect in terms of collaboration during the engineering phase?
Collaboration is key. We engage early and hold regular coordination meetings to ensure all engineering solutions align with the architectural vision.
