Stages of the project approach
Topic principal
Analyse
Detect the problem or need
If we are very clear about the problem we need to resolve and we know all the details.
Information and research
We collate, study and select information on the different ways that we could resolve the problem
Search for possible solution
We think of the different options
Choose the solution
We choose the best solutions based on the criteria that we set us priorities.
Build
Build the proyect
This is the stage where we build.
Functional analisys
How the object works, howe it is used and the potential risks of its use.
Technical analysis
We evaluate how the object was made.
Economic analysis
We analyse the financial cost of manufacturing the product and its selling price.
Social analysis
We study the object from the point of view of its social impact and analyse the human needs that it meets.
Sales cycle
Price
Is a crucial element in the sale of a product

Online sale

We do drawings and diagrams of out chosen solutions
Prepare and plan the work
We chose the materials, techniques and tools.
TECHNICAL DESIGN CONCEPTS

List of materials and tools
Once we have designed our solution, its very important to list all the materials that we will need to buil it,
