RIBA Stage 2: Concept design and master planning is essential in getting the best result for your project. It is during this stage where the scope is defined and the vision goes from an idea to paper. The focus is on the layout, spaces and style definition but materials and details have not yet been determined. By the end of Stage 2, one final concept design is generated. If required, pre-application planning advice is obtained and drawings are submitted for outline Planning Application.
Concept Design
Spatial Coordination
RIBA Stage 3: During the spatial coordination stage, the schematic design is refined into a coordinated, detailed proposal - preliminary materials, finishes and colors are selected and preliminary design details are developed. Plant material is also refined and selected. The end goal of this stage is to integrate architectural, structural, and building services into a fixed design, resulting in a package typically submitted for planning approval and used for a contractor to provide preliminary cost information.
RIBA Stage 4: Details are refined during technical design, this stage is where all of the information gathered during the schematic design and design development phase is put together into a full set of landscape architectural drawings and specifications so every element of the project is buildable and coordinated.

Construction
RIBA Stage 5: When transitioning from paper to reality, changes and site queries are inevitable, and designer involvement ensures adherence to the design intent, ensuring the best possible outcome. We also act in the client’s best interest, providing oversight and inspection of the work being installed.
