FROM FIRST BRIEF TO SITE
Eight stages, connected around the project.
The sequence, reviews and deliverables depend on the agreed project scope, available inputs and approval requirements.
STAGE 01
Requirement Understanding
Understand what the customer needs the building to do before deciding how it should be built.
- Intended use, site conditions and operational movement.
- Approximate size or span and required clear height.
- Access, openings, roof or wall preferences and future expansion.
- Crane or mezzanine needs where applicable.
Every project starts with the operating requirement, not a pre-set building template.
STAGE 02
Input & Drawing Review
Review the information supplied and identify which details are confirmed, missing or need reconciliation.
- Review available drawings and reference documents.
- Reconcile key dimensions and project constraints.
- Identify missing technical inputs for coordination.
- Keep unsupported assumptions out of the working basis.
Where project information is incomplete, the missing item is treated as a coordination point rather than silently assumed.
STAGE 03
Concept, Scope & System Planning
Clarify the building approach and the interfaces that need to work together.
- Clarify PEB, civil or combined scope.
- Consider structural form and project interfaces.
- Coordinate roof, wall, opening and canopy intent.
- Confirm special needs and technical boundaries where applicable.
STAGE 04
Engineering & Drawing Coordination
Develop the project basis and engineering information according to the agreed scope and approved inputs.
- Structural analysis and verification where in scope.
- AutoCAD drawing coordination and detailing workflows where applicable.
- Member or quantity coordination where required.
- Track technical hold points and revisions.
Engineering outputs depend on approved project inputs. Changes to geometry, loads, openings or operating requirements can require fresh review.
STAGE 05
3D Visual Review & Client Coordination
Use visual material, where included in scope, to support discussion before downstream execution.
- Review building arrangement, facade and colour direction.
- Discuss openings, canopies, access and multi-building relationships.
- Prepare selected internal or external views where suitable.
- Record client comments against the current proposal.
3D visualisation supports review and communication; approved engineering documents govern fabrication and construction.
STAGE 06
Revision, Scope Alignment & Approval
Move changes forward with clear records of what changed and what basis is agreed.
- Record and reconcile client comments.
- Revise design or visual proposals in a controlled manner.
- Align scope and responsibilities before downstream work.
- Proceed on the agreed and approved project basis.
STAGE 07
Fabrication, Procurement & Civil Coordination
Coordinate the information and interfaces needed for planned downstream work, according to agreed project scope.
- Coordinate approved fabrication information and material quantities where included.
- Align civil and PEB interfaces, including foundations or anchors where applicable.
- Consider erection interfaces and procurement sequencing.
- Coordinate project-specific vendors when included in scope.
Supply and coordination responsibilities are defined according to agreed project scope.
STAGE 08
Site Execution, Erection & Handover
Coordinate the site-stage work and close-out around the approved project information and agreed responsibilities.
- Coordinate site readiness and erection sequencing.
- Review civil and PEB interfaces as applicable.
- Support project review and close-out.
- Complete handover based on the agreed scope.
Execution follows approved project information, site conditions and the agreed scope of work.
