A concept is an abstract or initial idea that can form part of a plan or strategy. It is often described as being a type of mental representation.

In terms of construction, a concept is generally the initial idea for a project or development. The concept design represents the design team's initial response to the project brief. Some designers will differentiate between 'concept design' and 'scheme design'. In this case, the 'concept' is the initial design idea, whereas the 'scheme' develops the concept, taking on board more functional and practical considerations. Most project plans have now combined these two steps into the single stage 'concept design', or 'concept'.

Mike Davies, engineer and founding partner of RSHP has written:

‘Concept design requires that the architect grapples with the real issues of form and bulk, scale and mass and the generic appearance of a building within its surrounding urban context, resolving and encapsulating the principles of the scheme. Concept design implies an idea, or range of ideas, a development approach, a guiding concept and a design intent. It resolves the issue of 'what' and 'how much' and begins to set the stage for understanding 'how'. Concept design explores the resolution of the brief, implied or set out in the feasibility and assessment stage. The conceptual approach places the quantum of development intelligently on the site.’

To read more, see Concept architectural design.

Concept drawings or sketches are drawings, often freehand, that are used by designers such as architects, engineers and interior designers as a quick and simple way of exploring initial ideas for designs. They are not intended to be accurate or definitive, merely a way of investigating and communicating design principles and aesthetic concepts.

For more information, see Concept drawing.

Concept structural design proposals from a structural engineer might include:

* Preferred foundation design.
* Frame system.
* Structural grid with column sizes.
* Primary and secondary beam sizes and spans.
* Schedules of floor loadings catering for dead and live loads.

Concept services design proposals from a services engineer might include:

* Weights and location of major plant and equipment.
* Energy targets.
* Insulation assumptions.
* Routes for the distribution of horizontal services runs including access provisions.
