		+	Concept design is generally considered to be the first true design stage. Options appraisals and feasibility studies may include the preparation of diagrams - for example exploring the relationships between functions - but these are for analytical purposes only and are not genuine design studies.

	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'.		Some designers will differentiate between 'concept design' and 'scheme design'.
