Note: This Design Programme is derived from Figure 4.3 of Leading the Team: An
Architect’s Guide to Design Management, which was based on a Work Stage D
programme. It has been extended to include the additional activities necessary
to ensure that the Stage 3 design has been coordinated.
This example of a Stage 3 programme:
•firmly establishes the start of the stage and also the end point, when the
project team information will be issued
•focuses on how meetings with the planners will be coordinated with
client meetings
•places greater emphasis on design team activities; in particular, when core
aspects such as risers and grids will be developed
•sets out when the evolving general arrangement drawings will be issued as
part of the ‘work in progress’ of the iterative design process
•contains a two-week contingency period (weeks 13 and 14) for dealing with
any planning issues or other ‘hot topics’ identified as the design develops.
