Design team meetings
The design team will probably need to be enlarged during the development of
the project. However, it is essential that it is formally constituted with a proper
definition of responsibility and clearly accepted roles. Regular consultant team
meetings are important to review progress and to record decisions.
specimen agenda for the initial design team meeting is shown as
A
Figure 1/1, and although the list of items will need modifying as the project
progresses, the main headings should remain consistent throughout. In this way
the history of each aspect of job administration will be automatically recorded
and can be easily traced.
A system of regular reporting can be established. For example, the client’s
representative will report under the heading ‘Brief’, the architect under ‘Site’
and ‘Approvals’, the cost consultant under ‘Cost control’, and so on. The chair for
these meetings is usually the project lead, or the architect acting as project lead.
