Design is not only a technical task—it is a structured process guided by project management principles, delivery strategies, stakeholder coordination, and quality control. The Project Design Framework and Management section establishes the foundation for coordinated, code-compliant, and constructible multidisciplinary design. Starting in the pre-design phase, design management aligns project objectives, stakeholder needs, and site constraints with PMI’s PMBOK® process groups. Delivery methods like Design–Bid–Build or Design–Build define team responsibilities, while tools like the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) ensure clarity. This framework ensures efficient, high-quality design outcomes—delivered on time, within budget, and fit for purpose.
