what is included in a full commercial building design
concept design
It gives an idea of the details, structural features, dimensions and appearance of the building. It is the first stage of architectural design, making it possible to determine the style and appearance of the future building, its size, shape, spatial and layout solutions, as well as the internal layout and zoning.
working design
This is the stage after the concept design, where all aspects of the design are worked out in detail. It includes all the working drawings, architectural and urban planning indicators, technical data, material schedules, estimates and the work schedule. It provides the detailed information needed to build or renovate the building.
Engineering (technical) design
Designing solutions that make the building's sewerage and water supply systems, ventilation, power supply, heating and other utilities convenient to operate.
Technical support
Help with obtaining the building permit and getting the documents approved. This is one of the most important stages.

In Almaty, every commercial building begins with an idea that has to deliver profit. This is not just construction — it is a strategy that combines calculation, aesthetics and an understanding of urban dynamics. A well-thought-out concept turns square metres into a source of income, sets the rhythm for the entire business process and determines how much demand the property will enjoy in the future.
How commercial interior design has changed over the past 10-15 years
Key stages of creating a turnkey commercial building design
Detailed design: where the main compromises lie
Let us look at the differences in design approaches using two types of facilities as an example.
Criterion | Shopping Centre | Class A business centre |
Main focus | Maximising foot traffic and rental areas | Creating a prestigious atmosphere and comfort for tenants |
Space planning solutions | Open atriums, escalators, wayfinding to anchor tenants | Efficient lift groups, reception, waiting areas |
Engineering systems | Powerful air conditioning and ventilation systems (especially for food courts) | Smart office systems, uninterrupted power supply, cooled air |
Infrastructure | Maximum parking, delivery access for unloading | Underground parking with lift access, lobby area |
Engineering systems and equipment placement: the other side of the coin
Imagine a building's engineering systems as a person's nervous system. If the brain (the central control room) receives no signals from the hands (temperature sensors in the rooms) or cannot send commands to the legs (the ventilation system), the body becomes incapacitated. So it is with a building: without proper synchronisation of all its systems, it consumes a lot of resources yet performs poorly.
Commercial building design: approvals and expert review in Almaty
Cost of commercial real estate design: what the price consists of
Cost item | What it includes | Impact on the final cost |
Architectural solutions | Concept sketch, working drawings, visualisation | Base cost, strongly depends on the complexity of the shape and facades |
Structural solutions | Calculation of the foundation, frame and floors taking into account the seismicity of Almaty | A key component of reliability, cutting corners here is absolutely unacceptable |
Engineering sections | Design of all systems: HVAC, power supply, water supply and drainage, low-voltage networks | Determines future operating costs. Modern solutions are more expensive, but they pay off. |
Construction organisation plan section | Construction organisation plan | Affects the speed and safety of construction |
Expert advice from Aigerim Tleubergenova, Architect and designer of commercial property, Chief Project Architect: "Always budget 10-15% for unforeseen design work. Detailed analysis often brings up new tasks that were not obvious at the start. This is not an allowance for your forgetfulness, but a professional's risk management tool".
Space planning: how real estate affects cash flows
The flip side of creating complex and interesting layouts is a certain increase in the area of common zones, which does not directly generate rental income. However, this compromise is justified. Convenient corridors, rest areas and recreation zones increase the comfort and satisfaction of tenants, which reduces their turnover and ensures a stable cash flow.
Energy efficiency and sustainable development: a trend or real savings
This is not just about solar panels. It is a set of measures: insulating the building envelope, heat recovery in ventilation systems, energy-efficient glazing that saves you from the Almaty heat in summer and retains warmth in winter, and smart lighting with presence sensors. The initial investment in these technologies pays back in about 3-5 years on average, and after that it is pure savings.
Commercial real estate design for the HoReCa sector: the specifics of Almaty
We always analyse how the kitchen will function, where the raw ingredients will be stored and how guests will enter the dining area. Miss one detail and you can end up with a restaurant that looks wonderful from a design point of view but is unbearably hot in the kitchen or suffers constant sewer blockages. Taking local realities into account — for example, the popularity of summer terraces — is also critically important for creating a space that is in demand.
How to choose a contractor for a turnkey commercial project in Almaty
Ask a potential contractor how they see optimising the cost of commercial property design without sacrificing quality. The answer “we'll cut costs on the finishing” is a warning sign. A competent answer will address optimising engineering systems, choosing efficient structural solutions and modern materials with the best price-to-service-life ratio.

Frequently asked questions about commercial real estate design
How does the design of a commercial facility begin?
What factors are taken into account when designing a commercial building?
- Functional purpose of the building
- Urban development context and transport accessibility
- Climatic conditions of the region
- Energy efficiency and sustainability
- Barrier-free environment and safety
- Aesthetics and harmony with the city's architectural image
Can I change the design after it has been approved?
After the concept design is approved, changes can be made to the working design without significant delays, which gives you the opportunity to adapt the project to new requirements. However, it is important to understand that substantial changes may affect the timeframe and cost.
How is visitor comfort and safety ensured in a commercial space?
- Rational space-planning solutions
- Zoning of flows (visitors, staff, machinery)
- Modern fire safety and engineering security systems
- Ergonomics, good lighting, ventilation
How are national motifs integrated into the modern architecture of commercial properties?
Can the design be adapted to a specific tenant?
Can an existing commercial property be reconstructed or repurposed?
