Detailed design is sometimes referred to as 'developed design' or 'definition'. It is the process of taking on and developing the approved concept design.

Technical aspects of the developed design - including those related to building services, controls and smart building systems - may require further development, which is sometimes delivered through the process of detailed services design. This process is sometimes referred to as detailed business services design.

= Applicable services =

In the context of detailed services design, the term services is used to refer to systems installed in buildings to make them comfortable, functional, efficient and safe.

Building services might include:

* Building control systems (including integration of control systems to building management systems).
* Commercial kitchen loading verifications and coordinations.
* Energy distribution.
* Energy supply (gas, electricity and renewable sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and biomass).
* Escalators and lifts.
* Facade engineering (such as building shading requirements).
* Fire safety, detection and protection.
* Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).
* Information and communications technology (ICT) networks (including integration of AV requirements).
* Lifts and escalators.
* Lighting (natural and artificial).
* Lightning protection.
* Refrigeration.
* Security and alarm systems.
* Water, drainage and plumbing (including sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS)).

See Building services for more information.

= The role of building services engineers =

The specialists who provide detailed services design are sometimes referred to as building services engineers. These individuals plan, design, monitor and inspect building services to make sure the completed building will be comfortable, functional, efficient and safe.

Building services engineers play a central role in contributing to the design of a building, not only in terms of overall strategies and standards to be achieved, but also in façade engineering, the weights, sizes and location of major plant and equipment, the position of vertical service risers, routes for the distribution of horizontal services, drainage, energy sources, sustainability and so on. This means that detailed services design must be integrated into the overall building design from a very early stage, particularly on complex building projects such as hospitals.

While it is usual for a building design team to be led by an architect, on buildings with very complex building services requirements, a building services engineer might be appointed as the lead designer.

Increasingly, building services engineers are also central to the design and assessment of sustainable systems, assessing the life cycle of buildings and their component services to minimise the resources consumed and the impact on the environment during fabrication, construction, operation and dismantling.

Detailed services plans may include sections and elevations showing:

* Plumbing and drainage (high and low level).
* Ductwork.
* Heavy pipework.
* Electrical trunking.
* Light pipework.
* Electrical control wiring.
* Radiators.
* Plantroom layouts.
* Riser drawings.
* Access requirements and builders work in connection.

= Tools to use with detailed services design =

The detection of clashes between building services and other building components is a significant cause of delays and variations on site, not just in terms of the physical services themselves, but also access to allow the builders work in connection with those services. The use of 3D computer aided design (CAD) systems and building information modelling (BIM) for the purpose of creating detailed services designs should help reduce the occurrence of such problems.

In some instances, it may be necessary to appoint a specialist mechanical, engineering and plumbing (MEP) team to complete detailed services design within the 3D BIM environment. These specialists would be competent in the use of sophisticated simulation tools able to predict the likely performance of buildings during the design stages.
