3.2.2. Lifecycle Phases
- Development: This phase concerns the definition of the strategy to meet the client requirements and the initiation of the project. We consider applications that are relevant for the project development and for the client team.
- Design: Within this phase, the architectural concept, the spatially coordinated design, and the technical design with all the information that is necessary to construct the building are defined, regardless of the procurement strategy. Within this phase, we consider the applications that are relevant for the building design and for the design team.
- Construction: Within this phase, the building system is manufactured, constructed, and commissioned. We consider the applications that are relevant for the construction of the building and for the construction team.
- Operation and maintenance: Within this phase, the activities related to handover, and the use, operation and maintenance of the building are considered. Within this phase, applications are relevant for different actors in the building lifecycle.
- Cross-phase: It is likely that there will be an overlapping between different phases. For this reason, we use this category for collecting all the applications that cannot be associated to one phase.
