Design Development: Schematic Design

PRELIMINARY DOCUMENTS
Preliminary planning in terms of detailed room layouts can proceed on the
basis of the building schematic design. Concurrently, the start of working
drawings and outline specifications can also proceed. Design effort at this
stage should focus on the development of information and decisions
necessary for the earliest possible start of final contract documents,
engineering as well as architectural. Note, for example, that, although
detailed room layouts within departments are not required for the start of
working drawings, it will be necessary to finalize the overall fire safety
strategy in order to locate smoketight compartments, select active and
passive fire protection devices, etc.
