What are the Project Objectives?
- Quality Objectives
Quality Objectives relate primarily to design quality and can cover a diverse range of subjects, such as finishes, products, or the quality of core spaces. When setting Quality Objectives, it is extremely helpful to visit exemplar projects with the client. This allows likes and dislikes to be determined, minimising the risk of the design team taking an approach that will not be supported by the client. In some instances an architect will be chosen because the client has seen and liked previous projects that they have undertaken. In these situations it may be less necessary to set Quality Objectives. - Project Outcomes
Project Outcomes are a crucial new inclusion in the RIBA Plan of Work 2013. While the Quality Objectives might focus on the building as an output, the Project Outcomes will consider the business or other In Use outcomes that the client may wish to achieve. Examples might include:- reduced reoffending rates for a new prison
- improved examination results for a new school
- shorter recovery times for a new hospital.
Why are the Sustainability Aspirations a crucial consideration within the brief?
- assessments to be undertaken and rating achieved (eg BREEAM Outstanding)
- energy targets including embodied energy and carbon
- the extent of community involvement and consultation.
What is the Project Budget and how might it influence the brief?
