Our Services
We believe a successful build begins long before the first brick is laid. Our process takes your initial ideas and evolves them through detailed sketch designs. This critical phase allows us to troubleshoot structural requirements, site constraints, and material efficiency early on.
By refining the "how" alongside the "what," we ensure that every aspect of your build is strategically resolved before we even reach the planning stage—giving you a smoother path to approval and a design that is truly ready to build.
Initial Sketch Designs: We translate your core ideas into strategic architectural sketches, resolving any technical issues at the earliest stage.
3D Visualizations: We bring your project to life with immersive 3D renders, allowing you to experience the light, scale, and materials.
Site Survey and Layout: Using precise measurements and site analysis, we optimize your building’s orientation to harmonize perfectly with the Irish landscape.
Once the sketches are refined and agreed upon, we transform them into a professional Planning Pack. This is a robust suite of documentation tailored to meet the specific requirements of your Local County Council. Your pack typically includes:
Site Location & Layout Maps: Precise mapping showing your project in context.
Detailed Architectural Drawings: Floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections.
Technical Reports: Supporting documents regarding sustainability, drainage, or site-specific needs.
Legal Notifications: We manage the mandatory site notices and local newspaper advertisements to ensure your application is valid from day one.
We don’t just submit your plans and walk away. DOC Design oversees the entire application from start to finish. We act as your formal agent, managing all correspondence with the Planning Authorities.
Once planning is secured, we move from conceptual layouts to the rigorous technical documentation required for the construction site. Our Construction Drawing Package serves as the definitive manual for your contractor, ensuring that the architectural excellence promised in the sketches is executed with absolute precision on the ground.
Detailed Technical Drawings: We produce 1:50 and 1:20 scale plans that provide contractors with the exact measurements and structural details needed for an accurate build.
Material Specifications: We curate a comprehensive schedule of materials and finishes, ensuring high-quality aesthetics and long-term durability across every surface.
Tender Documentation: We prepare a robust set of documents that allow you to obtain competitive and comparable quotes from builders, ensuring full transparency in project costs.
