APPROVALS
Obtain formal client approval (in writing if possible)
If approval is given verbally, send the client a letter confirming the architect understands of the approval and ask the client to initial the letter and return a copy.

11. FIVE PROJECT PHASES design development
Refinement and coordination
A really polished work of architecture
Minimizes the possibility of major modifications during the construction contract documents phase.
Define and describe all important aspects of the project so that what remains is the formal documentation step of construction contract documents.
Clear, coordinated description of all aspects of the design.
Fully developed floor plans, sections, exterior elevations, interior elevations, reflected ceiling plans, wall sections and key details.

DESIGN DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASES
During construction documents, bidding and negotiation, and construction contract administration phases of the project.
Design continues even through the construction phase.
DESIGN REALLY NEVER STOPS
