At 4RM+ULA, the design process is meticulously executed, starting from the pre-design phase where detailed project programs are developed, to the schematic design phase that produces rough drawings and illustrative sketches. The design-development phase sees the approved concept design being further developed with specialist consultants, finishes proposed, and cost estimates updated. Moving on to the construction documents phase, detailed drawings are produced for the construction of projects, followed by the crucial bidding and negotiation phase where contractor selection and contract negotiations take place. During construction management, the firm ensures overall planning, coordination, and control of the construction process from beginning to completion.
With a philosophy rooted in tradition and innovation, 4RM+ULA’s team is committed to translating clients’ values and individuality into unique artistic and functional design solutions.
