Guide to Using the RIBA Plan of Work 2013
During Stage 2, the initial Concept Design is produced in line with the
requirements of the Initial Project Brief.
The project team also develops, in parallel with the Concept Design, a number of
Project Strategies. Their importance at this stage will depend on how they are to
influence the Concept Design. For example, the Sustainability Strategy is likely
to be a fundamental component of the Concept Design, whereas a security
strategy may have minimal or no impact and can therefore be developed during
a later stage.
It is essential to revisit the brief during this stage and it should be updated and
issued as the Final Project Brief as part of the Information Exchange at the end
of Stage 2.
In parallel with design activity, a number of other related tasks need to be
progressed in response to the emerging design, including a review of the Cost
Information, the development of a Construction Strategy, a Maintenance and
Operational Strategy and a Health and Safety Strategy and updating of the
Project Execution Plan.
Stage 2 maps exactly to the former Stage C.
