What is the latest RIBA plan of work?
RIBA 2020 Plan of work
What changes did the 2020 plan of work bring?
Sustainability
Includes a Sustainability Project Strategy providing actions and tasks aligned with the RIBA Sustainable Outcomes Guide for each project stage.
Planning
Now includes, guidance on submission of a planning application is recommended at the end of stage three. Aims to reduce the risks of designers continuing on to the next stage without fully co-ordinating information.
Stage Three
Name changed from ‘Developed Design’ to ‘Spatial Co-ordination’ to emphasise that stage three is not about changing design concept. Instead, it is about the lead designer managing information until the building is spatially co-ordinated and either ready to be sent to planning or ready for stage four (Technical Design) to start.
Post-occupancy evaluation
Another main driver behind the 2020 Plan of Work updates is post-occupancy evaluation. The plan recommends that facilities management and asset management teams are brought into the process at stage seven. It also encourages light touch evaluation to take place as early as the start of stage six – even before the work of the project team finishes.
Plan for use
In addition to the Plan of Work updates, RIBA is publishing a separate document encouraging a more in-use approach to design. Essentially an interpretation of BSRIA’s 2014 Soft Landings Framework, this guide aims to help designers check earlier on whether what they have designed actually works.
What changes did the 2013 plan of work bring?
The previous version, published in 2013 has moved online and has undergone a radical overhaul. It is now more flexible, with stages such as planning permission and procurement being moveable, it reflects increasing requirements for sustainability and Building Information Modelling (BIM) and it allows simple, project-specific plans to be created. In addition, the work stages have been re-structured and re-named.

Can you describe what the RIBA plan of work is?
The RIBA Plan of Work provides a shared framework for design and construction that offers both a process map and a management tool split into a number of key project stages.
The work stages have been used as a means of designating stage payments and identifying team members responsibilities when assessing insurance liabilities, and they commonly appear in contracts and appointment documents.
