At the onset of a project and throughout the preliminary design phases, you should consider and investigate any factors and considerations that may contribute to the overall design. These design considerations may include physical site constraints or limitations or legislative requirements in adhering to policies. Notwithstanding site considerations, the overall performance of a building should be considered and acknowledgment of any specific issues relating to the particular site and development of the subsequent design.
