Schematic design

60
Q

This step requires research and investigation into what materials and equipment will be used as well as their cost. During this phase, the drawings are refined with information from structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical engineers. It also involves a more rigorous evaluation how the applicable building codes will impact the project.

A

Design development (DD)

61
Q

Are the final drawings and specifications of the construction project. They are used by contractors to determine their bid while builders use them for the construction process.

A

Contract documents (CDs)
