COSC 153 Part 2 Complete Questions &
solutions(RATED A)
What are the 4 design stages? - ANSWER Programming Stage, Schematic Design, Design Development,
Construction Documents
Programing Stage - ANSWER Written statement of the requirements that identify important information.
Happens prior to start
Schematic Design - ANSWER Create a basic design identifying shape and size of spaces, as well as
alternatives, types of product, and more involvement from designer
Design Development - ANSWER Development of a design with much more detail, and development of
specs. Good drawings are developed. Contractor involved
Construction Documents - ANSWER Complete set of drawings and specs that provide comprehensive
info. This will be what we will build off of
Value Engineering - ANSWER Substituting one product for another for a lower price, but retaining quality.
Can only be done during design phase
As Build - ANSWER Whatever is built that was not on the original drawings
Building code compliance - ANSWER Contractors have more responsibility in residential, designer has
more responsibility in commercial
Pre-Construction Phase - ANSWER Varies based on type of contract signed. Anticipate problems before
