what is included in a full public 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.

Have you ever wondered why one shopping centre in Almaty is always full while another struggles to attract tenants? Often the secret lies not in marketing but deep within architectural design. Mistakes at this stage are like cracks in a foundation - they are not visible at once, but they predetermine future problems and losses. For a developer or investor, this is a direct financial risk. For a school or clinic director, it means daily operational difficulties and dissatisfied visitors.
From idea to reality: how a public building design is born
Mistakes at this stage later cost millions in rework.
Expert advice from Daniyar Kasymov, lead architect and designer: Never cut corners on engineering and geological surveys in Almaty. The apparent saving of 500–700 thousand KZT can turn into the need to reinforce the foundation during construction itself, which will cost tens of times more. We have seen cases where clients lost up to six months and around 15%% of the budget because the soil had not been studied sufficiently.
The main mistake at the outset is trying to "sketch out a layout" straight away. First you need to define the concept. What will it be: a bustling family shopping and entertainment centre or a formal business centre with a coworking space? The concept dictates everything: from the facade to the ventilation system. Projects begin with an in-depth dialogue with the client to understand their business goals.
Evolution of the approach: from standard solutions to custom ones
We also tried to introduce Western "glass" standards, but they turned out to be a dead end for our climate - colossal air conditioning costs. Modern design elegantly solves these problems. We use proven principles but fill them with intelligence. For example, we use computer modelling of insolation and air flows to cool the building naturally, saving your money during operation.
Key principles that turn a building into an asset
When choosing open spaces for visual expanse, we inevitably face the challenge of complex acoustic calculations. The flip side of panoramic glazing is higher requirements for thermal insulation and air conditioning systems. The compromise here lies in the use of modern materials and technologies, not in abandoning the idea itself.
Design stages: your step-by-step plan to successful delivery
Concept design (CD).
Here we create and approve the core idea, the exterior appearance and the layout solutions. This is the “face” of your future building.
Design documentation (P).
The most extensive stage. We develop all the sections that will undergo state expert review. This is where all the utility systems and structural elements are defined.
Working documentation (WD).
This is an instruction manual for the builders. The drawings and specifications according to which the property is constructed.
Skipping or taking a formal approach to any of these stages is like assembling a complex device without instructions. The result is predictable - it will not work correctly.
Stage | Target for the client | Key risks if insufficient attention is paid |
Concept design | Approve the concept and layouts, estimate the approximate budget | Misalignment with business objectives, the need for costly rework at later stages. |
Design documentation | Obtain a positive conclusion from the state expert review and an accurate estimate | Rejection in expert review, suspension of work, budget overruns due to unaccounted-for work |
Working documentation | Provide contractors with unambiguous instructions for construction | Poor quality of construction work, constant approvals and misunderstandings on site |
Integration of Kazakhstan's standards and international experience
Expert advice from Daniyar Kasymov, lead architect and designer: When choosing a designer, be sure to request an example of the "Energy Efficiency" section from their previous work. If it contains only general phrases without specific calculations and technical solutions, that is a warning sign. Quality documentation always includes a detailed plan for reducing operating costs and improving the energy efficiency of the property.
Comparative analysis: custom design versus adaptation of a standard one
Criterion | Custom design | Adaptation of a standard design |
Timeframe | Longer (4-8 months) | Faster (1-3 months) |
Cost of design work | Higher | Substantially lower |
Consideration of the site's features and the target audience | Maximum, 100% tailored to your needs | Minimal, compromises possible |
Operating costs | Optimised at the design stage | Often higher due to imperfect solutions |
Uniqueness and competitive advantage | High | Low |
Financial aspect: how to calculate the cost of design
Factor affecting the cost | How it works |
Architectural complexity | Complex facades and layouts require more time for calculations and drawings. |
Engineering systems | Availability of central or autonomous air conditioning and complex smart control systems. |
Stages | Sometimes the “P” and “RD” stages can be combined to save time and money. |
For a public building, a design is a strategic investment in your future asset. It is a complex, multi-stage process in which the team's experience and a deep understanding of Almaty's local realities play a decisive role. Properly prepared solutions do not merely pass expert review. They work for you for many years, generating profit, creating comfort and becoming a new point of attraction in the city.
Local features of Almaty that cannot be ignored
Another critical factor is mudflow danger. Design in Almaty must take into account the risks of flooding and the movement of mudflows. This affects the choice of territory, the arrangement of stormwater drainage and the height of basement floors. These principles are built into the concept at the earliest stage.
The future is already here: trends in public space design
Green construction is another trend that has become a necessity. Green roofs and facades are not merely aesthetic. They reduce the heat load in summer, which in Almaty's heat delivers up to 15% in savings on air conditioning. Such solutions are built into the concept at the concept design stage.
Your successful project starts with the right choice
Properly prepared architectural designs for public buildings become more than just structures - they become points of attraction that work for your reputation and financial well-being for many years. They create a comfortable environment for people and sustainably develop the urban space of Almaty.
Your feedback matters a great deal to us
