Stage 0 > Strategic Definition
Summary
Stage 0 is used to ensure that the client’s
Business Case and the Strategic Brief
have been properly considered before the
Initial Project Brief is developed.
The Strategic Brief may require a review
of a number of sites or alternative options,
such as extensions, refurbishment or new
build. By asking the right questions, the
consultants, in collaboration with the client,
can properly define the scope for a project,
and the preparation and briefing process
can then begin.

Mapping to RIBA Outline Plan of
Work 2007
Stage 0 is a new stage in which a project
is strategically appraised and defined
before a detailed brief is created. This
is particularly relevant in the context of
sustainability, when a refurbishment or
extension, or indeed a rationalised space
plan, may be more appropriate than a new
building. Certain activities in Stage 0 are
derived from the former (RIBA Outline Plan
of Work 2007) Stage A.
