In this fifth episode introducing the Royal Institute of British Architects plan of work (RIBA), Ian moves on to Stage 4. In this continuing eight episode series Ian will explain the stages of creation and utilisation of this document. This is a UK centred document, but has international context and use for all construction projects. Ian will cover stage outcomes, employers governance, technical governance and various work streams such as program management, finance, BIM, core design, construction, operational management, statutory processes, procurement and information exchanges. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• All the design information for construction is complete at stage outcome. The technical design should be signed off. In terms of technical governance the BIM execution plan and construction program are also signed off.
• The construction procurement strategy needs to be agreed in terms of what form of construction is to be employed and also the form of contract that is going to be used.
• In terms of BIM we need to ensure team collaboration and it is being correctly undertaken and utilised. There needs to be a full integrated process occurring within the model. 
• The operational team or facility management consultant needs to continue with their feedback onto the operability and practicality of the design bearing in mind maintenance considerations.

BEST MOMENTS

‘In terms of programme management we need to review and oversee the value engineering strategy. In this stage it is very important to make sure that we know what we are doing.'

‘Clearly if this is going to be a traditional procurement the contractor will have his own construction phase program but we still need to do one at this stage to make sure that, overall, it's coming together.'

‘Now we're getting into the nitty gritty and the full detailed technical design. Some of this may be required for building control if that is in your jurisdiction.'

‘Again we need to identify very early on what are the long delay periods or long lead-in for materials so that we can get those ordered as early as possible.'
