Stage 1 of the RIBA Plan of Work is primarily concerned with?

Preparation and Brief focuses on getting the project ready and capturing what the client needs in a clear, agreed brief. The key idea is to define what the project aims to achieve, the required performance, the scope and constraints, and how the project will be delivered. In practice this means agreeing objectives and outcomes with the client and stakeholders, outlining the budget and programme, choosing a procurement route, and setting up how information will be managed and risks addressed. This stage lays the foundation for all design work, guiding the later Concept Design where ideas are developed into feasible schemes. By contrast, Strategic Definition comes before this stage and sets the overall purpose and viability, while Technical Design comes later to develop the construction details.
