At present there are 5 stages of architectural planning involved in the delivery of major school projects. The stages reflect the Capital Works Management Framework developed by the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform.
The stages are as follows:
Stage 1 – Preliminary (Site Suitability and Investigations, Exploration of Design Options)
Stage 2 – Design (which is divided into Stage 2a – Developed Sketch Scheme and Stage 2b – Detailed Design)
Stage 3 – Tender Action, Evaluation and Award
Stage 4 – Construction
Stage 5 – Handover of Works and Final Account
The period of time it takes to progress through each of these stages varies from project to project depending on its size and complexity.
