In this second RIBA episode Ian is introducing the Royal Institute of British Architects plan of work (RIBA). Over the next seven episodes Ian will continue to 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. In this episode Ian will explain Stage 1 of the RIBA plan, Preparation and Briefing, and will cover stage outcomes, Employers Governance, Technical Governance, works streams including Program Management, Finance, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Design Process, Construction, Operational Management, Statutory Processes, Procurement and information flow. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ian has expanded on the RIBA plan to include a number of additional elements. This encompasses a whole life approach to the plan, from concept to demolition. 
• Elements of stage 1 include having a fully detailed Project Brief. This is the document that is used to brief the design team.
• Employers Governance requires the Project brief to be signed off in full detail. Technical Governance moves into the Project Initiation Document (PID), the BIM, the Execution Plan and the Feasibility Study.
• Finance requires agreement on the project budget and an update of financial models. 
• The BIM execution plan must ensure that the design team is fully compliant and capable of using BIM to its full use. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘In other words I'm looking at the end game at the beginning. We've talked about this theme many times before but I think it is vitally important that we really understand what the endgame is all about and what the client really needs.' 

‘At this stage the Program Management is probably one of the key work streams because it's the work stream that's pulling all the initial stuff together.'  

‘So we need to look at the construction delivery methods at this stage and make firm decisions as to how we're going to move forward.'

‘That's why we need to consider the Procurement Program because this can also influence how we build this, the method of building particularly if we are going down Construction Management.'

‘With all of these work streams that I've listed out isn't the full context of this, there may be other documents and other processes that need to be done for specific projects.'
