What should the design stage deliver before construction?
A visualization communicates the character of a space, while construction needs information about its details. Agree the design deliverables and their level of development for the project.
A layout that explains use
Review furniture, circulation, access and functions. Discuss everyday requirements before committing to colours and finishes.
A material and atmosphere direction
Use material boards, samples and visualizations to discuss the intended character and the availability of alternatives.
Drawings appropriate to the agreed scope
Agree a drawing list and level of coordination. Plans, internal elevations, selected details and schedules may form part of the deliverables. A perspective image does not replace every construction detail.
An agreed site reference
Identify approved drawing revisions and the process for updates and resolving conflicts. Request necessary details before starting the related work.
