Important to understand that the brief is an evolving document in an itterative process. The brief reprasents the evolving position of the desired project outcomes. It is key to remain open to opertunities and spot threats.

>POW STAGE 0 - STRATEGIC BRIEF

-Establish client expectations and motives

-Establish Outline Project Objectives

-Test the Client's buisness case

-Question/Test the desired outcomes

-Question the Site.

-Question Refurbishment or New build? Need for a building?

-Is there a better way to meet the client's objectives?

-Establish DQIs appropriate to the project. Enables a clear touchstone for future discussions

-Identify decision makers.

OUTPUT - forms the basis of feasibility studies. Should be formalised and signed off by client.

>POW STAGE 1 - INITIAL PROJECT BRIEF

-Studies to test the strategic brief.

-Feasibility studies. Consider spatial aspects of the brief.

-Itterative cost appraisal.

-Consider Statutory and Environmental constraints.

-Define programme intentions.

-Define organisational structure.

-How will success be measured?

-Defines Outcomes carefully. Particularily as they could become contractual requirements

-Formalize Technical, Manegeirial and Design intent.

-Project team assembly considerations to run in parallel with initial brief development.

OUTPUT

- Should be formalised as it forms the basis of work for stage 2.

- a Collaborative project team.

>POW STAGE 2 - FINAL PROJECT BRIEF

-Agreed and signed off by client.

-Establish document's contractual status. ie ERs.

-Developed with consultant and CDMC input.

-Strategies are tested and confirmed.

-Clarifies - USE, QULAITY, ENVIRONMENTAL ASPIRATIONS, COST, PROGRAMME.

-Provides a framework for developing the project.

-Acts as a Quality Managment tool.

RISKS

Thorough briefing aids project risk managment.

CHANGE CONTROLL

-After Stage 2 change controll procedures will be in place.

-Changes will become more costly as the project progresses.

-Additional design fees after the brief is frozen. Even more fees is so late subcontractor design requires change.

- A robust and tested brief avoids back tracking.

ASSEMBLING THE PROJECT TEAM.

-Briefing and team assembly should happen in parallel.

-2013 POW shifts emphasis from design team to project team.

-Establish Who? and When? Scope of Services Required.

-Avoid abortive work/overlapping roles.

-Brief development should identify specialist input required.

BUDGET TESTING ££

-Robust breifing will pick up the need for:<br/>

-Enabling works

-Non contract fixtures and fittings

-Initial outlay vs whole life cycle costing preference.

-At Stage 0 Ask - Do strategic outcomes match available funds?

-At Stage 2 Test the brief through itterative design and cost analysis.
