Scheme design through the stages to a frozen design ready to tender

We take off your hands: tracking design team appointments and stage outputs, explaining cost plan moves and testing savings until the design is frozen.

You get: cost plan moves explained against the appraisal, savings tested, late information chased and draft employer's requirements for your development director.

The problem

Our schemes drift over budget stage by stage, and we tender designs that are still changing.

How the steps join up

It starts when: you appoint the design team for a scheme after buying the land or getting planning permission.

  1. Track each scheme's consultant appointments, stage fees and outputs against the development budget

  2. Compare an occupier's requirement schedule with the scheme's specification and the market standard before terms are agreed

  3. Draft an elemental cost plan to NRM1 from early drawings, brief and benchmarks

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

  4. Explain cost plan movements between design stages

  5. Log value engineering options with their cost, planning and sales impact and record each decision

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

  6. Check design drawings against the building regulations guidance for the nation the site is in before submission

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

  7. Report late drawings and design information against the schedule

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

  8. Assess the knock-on effects of a design change on programme, cost, orders and other packages

  9. Keep the project document register current and catch out-of-date copies in use

  10. Draft employer's requirements from the company's standard specification and the scheme details

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

What you end up with: Consultant appointments and stage outputs are tracked, each stage's cost plan is explained against the appraisal, savings are tested when cost runs over, drawings are checked against the regulations, late information is chased, changes after freeze are assessed, and the employer's requirements go to tender from a frozen design.

Who signs it off: Your cost consultant signs cost plans. Designers and building control decide compliance. Your development director signs each stage and the freeze.

What it needs to work

  • An appraisal budget
  • Appointed consultants with stage outputs
  • A standard specification

If those aren’t in place yet, you’ll hear that before anything gets built.

Who it’s for
