Stage 2 > Concept Design
• Refine the energy and servicing strategy, incorporating
energy-efficient services design and design techniques.
• Carry out sufficient compliance or advanced modelling to
prove the design concept before freezing the design (e.g.
SBEM/SAP/PHPP (Passivhaus Planning Package) or dynamic
modelling).
• Audit the emerging design against the project’s Sustainability
Strategy and Project Outcomes.
• Set up a programme of intermediate evaluations and reality
checks involving stakeholders and key users as well as the
design team.

Check that all the agreed outputs have been produced before
the conclusion of Stage 2. Outputs might include the following:
• fully developed Final Project Brief
• Concept Design (including outline structural and mechanical
services design by others) – this should show the design
sufficiently developed for the client to comprehend, comment
on and approve the proposals. A diagrammatic analysis of
requirements, use of site, solutions to functional and circulation
problems, relationship of spaces, massing, construction and
environmental methods may be included
• the necessary Project Strategies
• preliminary Cost Information – an estimate of the construction
cost sufficient to allow a cost plan to be prepared (see Figure 2/1).
If procurement is through design and build:
•for an employer client: outline proposals for the Employer’s
Requirements
•for a contractor client: outline drawings for the Contractor’s Proposals.
