Programming |
Initial efforts at determining the goals
and desires for a given project. Typically an extension
of the LTFIP work performed in 1998 / 1999. A program
typically is a list of components and relationships desired
in a project as informed by the District, but usually
prepared by the Program Manager / Architect.

Conceptual
Design |
Initial concepts for a site or building.
Often it includes sketches and other means of depiction,
including statistical analysis where appropriate. Conceptual
design is understood as an early step in design to be
used by the Architect for further testing of the design.
Users often are confused by the variability that remains
at the conceptual design level.
|
| |
Schematic Design |
Schematic Design represents
the period in which all questions about the project are
identified and general concepts are refined to represent
all aspects of the ultimate design. Schematic design
is not, however, detailed. It merely identifies details
which require further study.
Schematic Design often represents the first understandable
look at a building and allows users to begin to see the
ultimate form and character. It is also the basis for
much more detailed work in later phases.

Construction
Documents |
Construction Documents
are “blueprints” that
most people think of as the work of the architect. Construction
Documents are prepared once the design is substantially
determined. They are used for approval by governing agencies,
for bidding, and they become the most important part
of the Contract for Construction.

Infill Projects |
Infill Projects are those that are not part
of a larger project but may be required to bridge gaps
between larger projects. They will often include scope
that is inappropriate for inclusion in a larger project
because of size, complexity or availability of appropriate
talent.
|
|
 |
Incidental Projects |
Some projects are generated
by immediate needs or specific sequences of work. These
are considered incidental projects and may be generated
at any time to facilitate schedules for larger projects.
They also include components of larger projects that
can’t wait for the start of the larger projects.
