Requirements documents
The Concept and Developed Design Quality Best Practice Self-Assessment Tool, published by the Chartered Quality Institute (CQI) Construction Special Interest Group (ConSIG) in 2021 and updated in 2022, states in relation to requirements documents:
‘The requirements may be defined in one or a number of documents. Every Requirement should have a named owner and a clear change history should be maintained within the document.
- 1) Highest Level - provided by the Client/Owner identifying the functional and performance requirements for the assets to be designed and constructed.
- 2) Second Level - developed by the concept and developed designers.
- 3) Third level - developed by the detail (production) level designers.
The highest level requirements document is a crucial part of the concept design Brief (as defined by RIBA).’
