NB In this stage design activities are attributed to ‘designers’. These may be architects and engineers, a design and build contractor or a kit house supplier (if the kit house supplier is only supplying the house itself, additional design consultants may be required).

Concept design is the first design stage. 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.

It may be necessary for the designers to undertake site surveys and other site appraisals before starting the concept design, for example, digging a trial pit before designing foundations.

Design is an iterative and collaborative process, it requires close involvement of all those with an interest in the completed development. This is important not only to ensure a suitable design is developed but also to ensure that everyone has ‘bought into’ the design and it is not just one person’s vision.

It is likely that the project brief will continue to develop as the concept design is prepared. It is important that these developing requirements are written down so there is a record of what has been agreed. Development of the brief might include:
*Preferred style and materials.
*Requirement for spaces to be open plan or enclosed.
*Ability to operate parts of the building separately (for example an office, children’s areas or guest rooms).
*Sound insulation and sound absorption requirements.
*Provision of en-suite or shared bathrooms, dressing rooms and so on.
*Accessibility requirements for people with disabilities or impaired mobility.
*Access to and views of gardens and the surrounding landscape.
*Entry spaces and reception spaces.
*Fireplaces/wood burning stoves.
*Hard v soft floor coverings.
*Security, intruder alarms, cctv, door and gate entry systems and post facilities.
*Fire and smoke detection.
*Audio visual, ICT, entertainment and other equipment requirements.
*Specialist requirements for finishes, fixtures and fittings.

*Natural lighting.
*Artificial lighting (general and feature) and controls.
*Comfort conditions (radiant temperature, air temperature, ventilation and so on).
*Storage requirements.
*Utility rooms.

*The possibility of including enabling works for future extensions.
*Galleries and balconies.
*External landscaping such as; planting, seating areas, drainage, sprinklers and taps, lighting and power, paths, screens, fences, walls, shading and so on.

For a description of the architectural aspects of design that might be developed during this stage, see Concept architectural design checklist.

The concept design should develop to include:
*A site plan including access, car parking, hard surfaces, landscape, water features, art etc.
*Floor plans, sections and elevations.
*Analysis of adjacencies between related functions.
*Building services strategy (heating, electrical supply, lighting and so on).
*Outline specifications describing the materials and workmanship required.
*Schedules of accommodation.
*A strategy for obtaining planning permission.
*Procurement strategy.
*Programme, construction methodology and logistics.
*Approximate quantities of the main materials proposed.
*A cost plan (including site preliminaries).

This information should be co-ordinated and issued at the end of the stage for comment or approval before the project proceeds to detailed design or a planning application is submitted.

The brief should be frozen at the end of the concept design stage and change control procedures introduced so that any subsequent changes that materially alter the cost are submitted to the self builder for approval or rejection.
