phases of work + 1 post construction phase
1. Pre-Design Phase: Program Definition, Feasibility Analysis
2. Design Phase: Schematic Design, Design Development
3. Construction Document Phase: Documentation of the Design
Intent
4. Bidding and Negotiation Phase: Establishing the Cost of the
Design Intent

ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT DELIVERY PROCESS

5. PRE-DESIGN
• It is in the preliminary stages of brief preparation and
design where the opportunity to effectively influence the
successful outcome of a project is greatest and the cost
of doing so least.

6. The Value of Pre-design
• Extend "pre-design" as long as possible.
• It is defense mechanism against those "hot
ideas" that will come up midway through the
project.
• Invent ways to force yourself not to dive into
design immediately
• Find ways of getting the client involved in this
"discovery phase"
• Identify and achieve consensus on the five or six
real issues the project brings you to solve

design

signage
• Color Board of all materials and finishes
• Cost Plan

• Mechanical
• Electrical
• Hydraulic services
• More detailed estimates of cost
• Provision of time program

• Chosen plans and sections that describe the building
form through the overall scheme or part of it at a scale
of 1:100
• Part and elevations of typical elements and sections
• Schedule of finishes and sample board
• A report from the Building Surveyor explaining the
approach to the design solution.

competitive tenders and to enable the building to be
constructed as intended.

discipline.
