- Stage 3: Spatial Coordination: developing the chosen design – including type, spatial layouts, utilities needed, and planning permissions
- Stage 4: Technical Design: detailed drawings and specifications – including construction and tendering packs for contractors to price

- Stage 6: Handover: project completion, commission, checks, handed over. Training and maintenance manuals provided.
