Initial briefing, site and context review, zoning and legal constraints, preliminary scope, timeline, fee and contract.
Confirm the project objectives, budget basis, programme, scope and authority to proceed.
Verified brief, site and constraint register, feasibility note, proposal and appointment.
The Owner approves the brief, assumptions, scope, fee and start of Schematic Design.
SDSchematic DesignTranslate the brief into site strategy, zoning, planning, massing and an architectural direction through two to three focused iterations.
Research and Mood & Tone, site analysis, functional zoning, initial plans, massing and 3D studies.
Select the preferred planning and architectural direction.
Site analysis, zoning diagrams, plans, massing studies, key elevations or sections, Mood & Tone and 3D views.
The Owner confirms one preferred direction and the issues to resolve during Design Development.
DDDesign DevelopmentDevelop the selected architecture into coordinated space, structure, Facade, material and building systems.
Refined plans, elevations and sections, Facade and material development, structural and MEP interfaces and updated visualisation.
Confirm principal dimensions, Facade, materials, systems and cost-sensitive choices.
Coordinated design set, Facade and material studies, updated 3D images and decision register.
The Owner approves the coordinated direction for Construction Documentation & Coordination.
CNCConstruction Documentation & CoordinationTranslate the approved architecture into coordinated permit, pricing, procurement or construction information.
Detailed drawings and specifications, structural and MEP coordination, permit drawings, revision control and issue purpose.
Confirm the issue purpose, required consultant inputs and unresolved exclusions.
Construction drawings, schedules, specifications, consultant coordination record, permit drawings and issue register.
The Owner authorises the agreed issue for permit, pricing, procurement or construction.
CNSConstruction Support & Periodic Design ReviewProtect the architectural design intent through periodic observations and documented clarifications within the appointment.
Milestone site visits, RFIs, submittal, mock-up and material review, design clarifications and handover review where appointed.
Confirm material or detail responses and corrective direction for design-related deviations.
Observation records, clarification responses, review comments and a design close-out record.
The Owner acknowledges open items and completion of the appointed support. Execution, safety and workmanship remain the contractor’s responsibility.
