- 1.1 Preliminary scope of project is confirmed and reviewed to ensure parameters meet current requirements .
- 1.2 Detailed design parameters are specified to enable a complete design brief to be prepared.
2 Obtain information on existing conditions
- 2.1 Surveys of existing conditions are undertaken that are relevant to the proposed works and that impact on the design parameters.
- 2.2 Liaison with relevant statutory authorities and affected parties is undertaken to ensure works can be coordinated.
- 2.3 The impact of works on existing assets and the environment is assessed through liaison with relevant and affected parties.
3 Prepare existing conditions plan
- 3.1 An accurate, existing conditions plan is prepared from all collated data to enable a detailed design to proceed.
- 3.2 An existing conditions plan is produced within regulatory and accepted drafting standards .
