Phase 1- Alex Brag, Craig Stuart and Chris Mosley, review an on-screen concept.

Phase 1 - Concept drawings drawn up to initiate concept development, engineering issues and develop final construction drawings.

Phase 2 - A virutual reality render of the concept is produced to refine the concept and move towards construction drawings being issued.

Phase 2 - Constrction drawings are tender documents are issued if Reefscape is unable to deliver the project in it's entirity.

Phase 3 - Constrction is supervised on site.

EXPERIENCE DESIGN DELIVERS MEMORABLE USER EXPERIENCE

 

Reefscape begins their design process with two things in mind: the budget and the value of the "wow factor" or experience for the aquarium’s owner or stakeholders.

 

With this in mind Reefscape then determines with you which concept will best achieve the desired outcome or the best "wet story" to tell by following a three phase process.

 

Phase 1: UNDERSTANDING THE CLIENTS REQUIREMENTS
Reefscape’s Goal: To Understand your requirements, identify specific goals
and objectives... to refine your vision into a viable design.

Key steps they follow:

• Review and brainstorm drawings and ideas to developa viable concept
• Visit the site to determine if the concept is feasibile to build cost effectively
• Ensure the preliminary project construction budget are feasible
• Develop the concept or exhibit to identify the most viable “wet story”.
• Liase with engineering and construction teams to identify other construction elements that may effect both timings and cost and the final design concept.
  

Phase 2: DELIVER A VIRTUAL REALIY OF THE FINAL CONCEPT
Reefscape's Goal: To bring your vision to life by refining the concept, developing construction documents and initiating the tender process (if required).

Key steps they follow:

• Refine conceptual requirements into a construction program
• Develop renderings, scale models and work flow logic statements for approval.
• Reefscape’s concept designers and specialist engineers work hand in hand with local engineering teams to create a full set of drawings for project construction, thus avoiding potential local building code issues.
• Reefscape then provides a full set of construction specifications, a full set of bid forms that define the scope of work and advises the client during the bid and tender process.

Phase 3: PREVENTION OF DESIGN DILUTION DURING CONSTRUCTION

Reefscape's Goal: Realize the client’s vision by working closely with the project team in the field to ensure the best implementation of project construction documents.
Key steps they follow:

• Supervise construction on-site
• Provide hands-on attention to theme development, commission and start-up
• Train and consult as needed during commission
