Menu Development and the physical Design of Food & Beverage related facilities. The preparation of a Program of Requirements prepared in cooperation with the Owner’s staff or our Master Chefs will serve as the foundation of the entire design process. IDeA working in cooperation with the Architect and Owner/Operator will conduct interviews for collecting data and profiling the project thus determining the need of the Food & Beverage Program and/or Concept and Interiors. IDeA would then proceed with the planning of the required documentation usually as follows:
Programming Phase
- Assist the client (Owner/Operator and/or Architect) in the development of a Comprehensive Food & Beverage Program based on a sensible set of objectives and criteria.
- Once the F & B Services Program has been developed and approved, the design team is ready to move to the next phase.
Conceptual & Schematic Phase
- Develop conceptual and schematic plans that meet the above program requirements.
- Develop probable estimates for the Food Service Equipment and when requested furniture furnishings and equipment (F. F. & E.) including allowances for installation.
- The conceptual and schematic plans and budgets will be reviewed with all concerned and adjusted as required by decisions reached during those reviews.
Design Development Phase
- During this phase, we prepare Itemized computer generated Layout Plans and Single Line Specifications for each Food and Beverage area utilizing AutoCAD 2008 or any earlier version.
- Prepare a Book of Brochures and budgets for all food and beverage equipment or (F. F. & E.).
- At this point we take the Plans, Brochures and Single Line Specifications for a preliminary review with the Health Department and adjust the plans as needed.
- Prepare a list of preliminary loads for mechanical, electrical, and ventilation to be used by the A/E Design Team for the development of electrical and mechanical systems.
Construction Document Phase
- Prepare final Food and Beverage Equipment Layouts and/or complete Interior Plans.
- Prepare rough-ins plans for plumbing, electrical and exhaust requirements for inclusion in the construction documents prepared by the Architect and Engineers.
- Develop details all custom fixtures, furnishings and equipment required.
- Prepare complete specifications for all Food and Beverage items and/or (F. F. & E.) suitable for inclusion in the architect’s specifications.
- If IDeA is working directly for the Owner we prepare a complete set of Bid Documents.
Construction Administration Phase
- IDeA will screen bidders and assist the Owner/Operator and/or the Architect in soliciting and evaluating bids and awarding contracts or if dictated by time constraints assist the client with alternate methods of managing the project such as Design/Build.
- IDeA will provide administration during construction check shop drawings and submittals from contractors, inspect work and prepare inspection reports to insure compliance with plans, details and specifications.
-
Fee Arrangements
IDeA’s scope of services and fee structure is arranged to suit the requirements of the client and the phasing of the project and is outlined in writing in our proposal at the outset of each project.
