There may also be an interim stage referred to as a 'design chill' or 'part freeze'. During this stage, all aspects of the design may continue to evolve, but change controls are placed on any changes to issued design documents. Interim changes may still occur within particular aspects of the works, and when finalised and formally reviewed, they may be incorporated into the design.

The building design process resolves client requirements into a set of instructions for the construction of a building. It is generally an iterative process, in which the design becomes more detailed and 'fixed' as the project progresses. Very broadly, the later in the development of the project that changes occur, the greater those impacts are likely to be.

At certain stages in the design process therefore, a package of information will be provided for the client to approve. Once this approval has been given, a change control procedure may be introduced to ensure that the approved information is not changed without the express permission of the client.

The CIOB Code of practice for project management 4th edition, suggests that the term 'design freeze' refers to:

{|
|Completion and client's final approval of the design and associated processes, i.e. no further changes are contemplated or accepted within the budget approved in the project brief.
|}
