Regular design reviews will be undertaken at this stage to coordinate the interface between individual elements of the design and to ensure the solutions meets Design Performance Targets and all relevant statutory regulations.
Value engineering exercises may be undertaken to ensure the design is progressed in accordance with project cost parameters.
In addition, to construction drawings that will be produced by the architect and each design consultant, the following tasks will be carried out:
Room Data Sheets
Room data sheets for architecture and services are established for every room. These act as an important brief to the contractor

A specifications of materials and workmanship will be produced. This ensures contractors are able to return comparable tenders and the price will reflect the construction quality required by the college.
