Introduction
The project design and development process can be lengthy, expensive, and confusing. The process is often misunderstood by everyone, including potential users, building committee members, deans, academic administrators, and governing boards.
This chapter discusses procedures for developing a project from the predesign and conceptual design phases through construction documents. Topics include the management of professional services contracts, design guidance to consultants, cost estimating during the design process, project budget management, involvement of building committees, and review and approval of design documents by the institution's staff and external agencies.
