The architectural scope during the schematic phase focuses on defining the form, function, and spatial organization of the project. Primary responsibilities include:

• Preparing preliminary floor plans, sections, and elevations based on the approved concept
• Establishing zoning strategies, circulation paths, and adjacency relationships
• Defining preliminary space dimensions, functional layouts, and ceiling heights
• Introducing core elements like stairs, elevators, toilets, and service shafts
• Identifying areas requiring coordination with mechanical and electrical systems

Architectural outputs in this phase form the visual and spatial backbone of the building and must be flexible enough to accommodate later technical refinement.
