BREEAM UK New Construction, Non-domestic Buildings (United Kingdom), Technical Manual, SD5078: BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 3.0, published by BRE Global Limited, suggests that in relation to concept design:
‘The objective at this stage is to develop outline proposals including site and spatial planning, building form, structural and building services strategies, outline specifications, preliminary cost budgets including relevant project strategies which support or influence the design programme and the ability to comply with BREEAM requirements as the project progresses.
‘Activities can include: preparing the sustainability strategy, maintenance and operational strategy, handover strategies, carrying out risk assessments, reviewing the project programme, considering construction logistics to ensure efficiency, developing health and safety strategy, undertaking any third party consultations as required, and any research and development aspects.’
