During the design development (developed design) phase, develop the approved concept design and provide documentation to explain it to the client; coordinate the work of specialist consultants; provide a schedule of proposed materials and finishes; consult, and attend preliminary meetings, with relevant authorities; review the developed design against the budget and coordinate preparation of an updated estimate of the cost of the works.
Design development is the stage subsequent to concept design in which the schematic design decisions are worked out in greater detail. A clear and coordinated description of all aspects of the design, including architectural and relevant specialist consultant services, is worked out providing a basis for the preparation of construction documents.
On completion of design development, provide the client with drafted to-scale drawings that illustrate the project. These drawings will specifically define the site plan, floor plans, exterior elevations and schedules. This is also the set of drawings typically issued to accompany the planning/development application.
Obtain the client’s written approval of the developed design and obtain the client’s written approval to submit the planning/development application when required.
