The Schematic Design Phase is the creative process of translating the information obtained in the Pre-Design Phase into conceptual sketches and line drawings, for the purpose of developing an appropriate arrangement of forms within the site (building, massing, pedestrian circulation, parking, drives, utilities, landscaping masses, etc.) as well as the arrangement of spaces and functions within the building plan. Exterior elevation studies are also part of this stage, and preliminary budgets and schedules are established at this time. One of Heartland Group LLC's specialties is the early development of an overall site use Master Plan, with assistance to the client in planning the phasing of multi-phase, long-range projects, based upon site and programming information gathered.
