The strategies developed in parallel with the Concept Design to support the design and, in certain instances, to respond to the Final Project Brief as it is concluded.

These strategies typically include:

• Acoustic Strategy
• Fire Engineering Strategy
• Maintenance and Operational Strategy
• Sustainability Strategy
• Building Control Strategy
• Technology Strategy.

These strategies are usually prepared in outline at Stage 2 and in detail at Stage 3, with the recommendations absorbed into the Stage 4 outputs and Information Exchanges.

The strategies are not typically used for construction purposes because they may contain recommendations or information that contradict the drawn information. The intention is that they should be transferred into the various models or drawn information
