Design Development Phase

  • Design development floor plans and system schematics to identify equipment locations, utility distribution routing, systems zoning and project phasing are prepared.
  • The first draft of technical specifications for systems materials and installation requirements are prepared.
  • Design development estimates of probable construction costs are developed.
  • Previous needs assessments are reviewed, schematic phase needs are confirmed and client design concerns are addressed.
  • The team participates in the design development review meeting to review value engineering options, assess systems design, finalize implementation and packaging of contract documents, and refine the project schedule. Design development plans and technical specifications are prepared for review and approval by the client.
