Design Development During the design development phase the ideas from schematic design are selected and developed to incorporate the specifics of materials, products, appliances and structural engineering. Documents in this phase are drawn “hard-line” and begin to define and coordinate the systems of the project to more accurately communicate the design of the project for construction.
