CAPE SHADE: ARCHITECTURAL
Cape Shade
caters for a wide variety of products that can be used in any number of
market segments.
Architectural structures
can take any shape or form and are custom made for a specific sight with
function and form driving the design. The process is as follows:
1. Provisional
design
In order to meet every clients own individual needs and design we work
with the client
and their architects in order to project and document the look and feel
of the structure.
This process can easily be accomplished by viewing the wide range of
example structures on our archives. We can supply you with a number of
alternatives in order to best understand your requirements. These
images have been categorized for your
convenience. Once we have a good idea of the clients preference we will
generate a 2
dimensional image on AUTOCAD and a 3 dimensional image of the membrane.
During
this process our aim is to project the clients needs onto paper for the
client to approve the look and feel of the structure. This process can
take 5 days to 3 weeks depending on the clients needs
2. Budget
Once the
client has approved the look and feel of the structure we will supply a
budget
price for
the manufacture and installation of the structure. We will need the
client to sign off of the budget price and look and feel of the
structure.
3. Detailing
Once we
have received the written confirmation from the client on the look and
feel and
budget
price we will produce the final detailing of the structure. At this
point we introduce the structural engineer and the production supervisor
into the project. Using their experience and expertise we document the
final design and fixing system of the structure.
4. Final
pricing
We are
now ready to enter into a contract with the client. This contract will
incorporate
the
price, the design and the production schedule. Due to the specific
nature of the
structure
each and every structure is designed for a specific application. The
structure
cannot be
adapted and re-used on anther site as a result we do require a deposit
to be
paid
prior to the commencement of manufacturing. Once the deposit has been
received
we will
commence with manufacturing.
5. Installation
Once the
structure has been manufactured we will contact the client to arrange
for the
installation of the structure.
