What we design

Multi-storey residential complexes, low-rise residential and block development. We design both single residential buildings and complexes with built-in and adjoining premises, parking, non-residential built-in and commercial ground floors.

Class

Multi-storey residential complexes

Residential дома от 9 до 25 этажей. Монолитно-каркасный или сборный железобетон. Секции 1 and 2 категорий по классу энергоэффективности.

Class

Low-rise residential complexes

Complexes of 3-8 storeys. Brick, monolith or mixed structure. Relevant for comfort-segment and suburban zones.

Class

Block development

Comprehensive area development with own social infrastructure: kindergartens, schools, polyclinics, retail galleries, parking.

Class

Mixed use

Residential buildings with commercial ground floors, built-in and adjoining non-residential premises, apartments, lofts, aparthotels.

Design stages

The project can be ordered as a turnkey solution or you can engage us at a separate stage — for example, only the working design based on an existing concept, or site supervision for already-released documentation.

01 / Stage

Concept

Initial vision of the facility: site placement, aggregate technical-economic indicators, spatial planning solutions. Timeline — 2-3 weeks.

02 / Stage

Preliminary design (PD)

Planning solutions, facades, sections, visualizations. Passing architecture approvals. Timeline — 1.5-3 months.

03 / Stage

Working design (WD)

Full set of working documentation across all sections in BIM model. Passing expert review. Timeline — 3-6 months.

04 / Stage

Site supervision

Compliance control of construction with design documentation, keeping site supervision log until commissioning.

03

Residential complex working design composition

All sections are executed by specialist engineers and coordinated in a unified Autodesk Revit BIM model. Below — the full list of sections per Category-1 RK requirements.

Architecture

  • АР — layouts, facades, sections, joints, finishing schedules, window and door specifications
  • Interior solutions — per separate TOR (МОП, лобби, коммерческие площади)

Structural design

  • КЖ — reinforced concrete structures: foundations, columns, floors, walls, stiffening diaphragms
  • КМ — steel structures: bracing, steel beams, roof railings, stair flights
  • Calculation в LIRA-CAD или SCAD Office с учётом сейсмики and ветровых нагрузок региона

Engineering systems

  • ОВ — heating, ventilation and air conditioning
  • ВК — internal water and sewer, cold/hot water supply, storm
  • ЭОМ — electrical equipment, lighting, outdoor lighting, lightning protection
  • СС — low-current systems: SCS, ACS, CCTV, intercom, dispatching
  • Fire alarm / auto-extinguishing — fire alarm, automatic fire extinguishing, SOUE

External utilities & site

  • ГП — master plan: vertical planning, landscaping, greenery, small architectural forms
  • External water supply networks, канализации, электроснабжения, теплоснабжения
  • ПОС — construction organization design

Expert review

Support of complex expert review (RSE "Gosexpertiza"), correction of comments, interaction with experts until positive conclusion is obtained.

Frequently asked questions

What developers most often ask when discussing a residential complex project. If the answer you need is not here — leave a request or write to contact@primedesign.kz.

How much does residential design cost?

Cost depends on area, storeys, structure, required stage and availability of input data (topographic survey, geological surveys, GPZU).

Estimated range — from 800 to 2,500 KZT per m² for the full cycle (concept + PD + WD). A small residential complex of 5,000 m² can cost from 4 million KZT, a large 100,000 m² one from 80 million KZT.

Accurate calculation ready in 2 business days after filling out questionnaire.

What design stages do you perform?

All четыре стадии: concept, sketch design (SD), working design (WD) and site supervision.

Engagement possible at any stage — for example, only the working design based on already-approved architecture, or site supervision for third-party organization documentation.

Do you work in BIM (Revit)?

Yes. All projects ЖК ведём в Autodesk Revit with a unified BIM model where architecture, structures and engineering systems are coordinated. This eliminates on-site clashes and allows accurate calculation of quantities and schedules.

More details — on the dedicated BIM design page.

What residential complex sizes do you design?

From 5,000 m² (low-rise complex) up to 200,000 m² (block development). Average area of our residential complexes — 40,000-80,000 m².

We design both stand-alone residential buildings and complexes with built-in and adjoining premises, commercial ground floors, parking and social infrastructure.

Yes ли лицензия на design ЖК?

Yes. У Prime Design лицензии Category 1 of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Uzbekistan. Category 1 allows designing facilities of any complexity without restrictions on storeys and area.

We provide copies of licenses and constituent documents upon request.

How long does residential design take?

Concept — 2-3 weeks. Preliminary design — 1.5-3 months. Working design — 3-6 months depending on area and phasing.

Full cycle для ЖК на 40 000 м² — ориентировочно 6-8 months. For block development — 10-14 months with phased release.

What needs to be provided to start work?

Minimum to start the concept:

  • Title document for the land plot (or project)
  • Cadastral certificate, GPZU (if available)
  • TOR or general project vision

For the working design, additionally required: topographic survey, geological surveys, technical conditions for utility connections. If something is missing — we help order it from specialized organizations.
