RIBA Plan of Works | Stage 1 | Preparation and Brief

"Develop Project Objectives, including Quality Objectives and Project Outcomes, Sustainability Aspirations, Project Budget, other parameters or constraints and develop Initial Project Brief. Undertake Feasibility Studies and review of Site Information."

Once the proposal has been approved, a measured survey of the existing premises will be carried out - this could be your existing building, your plot of land etc. Then this will be drawn up accordingly, and a sketch/ feasibility study would be produced. This will usually be in the form of a simple 2D plan to make sure that the rooms and spaces work well together, capturing all the elements of the brief.
