5.

Finalise construction detail drawing.

5.1.

Design personnel are consulted to ensure iterations of the construction detail drawings adhere to project design brief.

5.2.

Builder and other construction personnel are consulted where necessary to confirm construction methodologies and to inform finalisation of construction detail drawings.

5.3.

External consultant’s documentation and expertise are sought as directed to ensure accuracy of drawings.

5.4.
