Design Phase 1. Develop and communicate an understanding of project requirements in conjunction with the Owner, Owner’s construction Contractor, and the project design team. For renovation projects, this includes familiarization with existing building and associated existing equipment and systems that may be impacted by the new construction. 2. Review the Owner’s Design Guidelines and the project Facility Program or Pre-Design Report (if applicable) for familiarity with the project scope. 3. Review and comment on design phase project deliverables, including Design Intent Document, drawings, and specifications for clarity, completeness, and compliance with the Owner’s Design Guidelines at various stages of development (during schematic design, design development and construction document phases). 4. During the schematic design and design development phases, recommend alternative design approaches or value engineering items based on project design phase reviewsthat will provide equal or better performance at lower life cycle cost, including initial cost, utility costs, and operating and maintenance costs.
