Stage 7 > In Use
Summary
This is a new stage within the RIBA Plan of
Work. It acknowledges the potential benefits
of harnessing the project design information to
assist with the successful operation and use of
a building.
While it is likely that many of the handover
duties will be completed during Stage 6,
prior to conclusion of the Building Contract,
certain activities may be required or necessary
afterwards. These should be confirmed in the
relevant Schedule of Services.
Mapping to RIBA Outline Plan of
Work 2007
Stage 7 is a new stage which includes
Post-occupancy Evaluation and review of
Project Performance as well as new duties
that can be undertaken during the In Use
period of a building.
While the end of a building’s life might
be considered at Stage 7, it is more likely
that Stage 0 of the follow-on project or
refurbishment would deal with these aspects
as part of strategically defining the future of
the building.
