Designs from the schematic design phase get refined during the design development phase to finally prepare for construction documents.
What Is Design Development?
Design Development is a phase in the architectural design process where the initial design concepts are refined and detailed. During this phase, architects and engineers work to develop comprehensive drawings, specifications, and material selections based on the preliminary design. Design Development aims to address technical, functional, and aesthetic aspects, leading to a more detailed and coordinated design ready for construction documentation.
