This website is created to serve as a comprehensive educational and professional resource for engineers, architects, and project design teams involved in the planning and execution of building systems in new construction projects. It introduces a structured and integrated design process that aligns with international codes and standards such as the IEC 60364, NEC, IEEE, BS 7671, ASHRAE, and global project management frameworks including PMI’s PMBOK® Guide.

The platform focuses on the three principal design disciplines—architectural, mechanical, and electrical—and outlines the complete design journey through five progressive and interdependent phases: Concept Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, and Bidding. Each phase is clearly defined with specific design activities, inputs and outputs, coordination tasks, and expected deliverables.

A key feature of the website is its emphasis on design coordination and phase-based development, showing how each discipline evolves its work while responding to the inputs and constraints imposed by others. For example, how electrical distribution design is influenced by mechanical equipment layout and architectural space planning, or how mechanical system routing depends on architectural ceilings and structural provisions.

The design process is presented not merely as a sequence of drawings and calculations, but as a structured decision-making workflow that supports client objectives, regulatory compliance, quality control, and construction readiness. Design is treated as a manageable and traceable process, incorporating PMP concepts such as scope definition, quality assurance, stakeholder input, and risk control.

By breaking down each discipline’s work into actionable tasks within each design phase, the website helps professionals understand their role, improve coordination, and deliver high-quality, code-compliant building systems. Whether you are a junior engineer or a seasoned design manager, this platform provides clarity, structure, and professional insight into multidisciplinary building design.
