The following table describes the Project Development Process and CP+A's involvement during each phase:
Phase 1 |
Project Initiation Institutional leadership determines a "Vision" and a "Strategy" for achieving its mandate by developing Key Parameters of the project. . |
|
Phase 2 |
Feasibility and Pre-Design Continuing from the Key Parameters document, a Functional Programis developed to "Plan" in increasing detail. The Functional Program is used to describe project scope components in terms of space, adjacency relationships, function and so forth. This process serves to define the design problem at hand and further clarify intent and acknowledge spatial constraints and issues to be resolved during the implementation phase within the sub-phases of Schematic Design (SD) and Design Development (DD) with a professional design consultant team. |
|
Phase 3 |
Implementation This phase "Executes" earlier phase work and includes the procurement of professional design consultants to design and facilitate the project development process and advance the project through design and construction. Licensed professionals include architects, engineers and other specialist sub-consultants. The specific phases of this stage are Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, Tender /Award and Construction. The duration of this phase depends on the scope of the project and phasing required to meet ongoing operational needs. Sometimes a Post-Occupancy Evaluation concludes this phase in order to assess project successes and challenges in order to improve future projects. |
