Concept Design
Stage 2 is the concept design where the project takes shape. Within this stage the main elements are pulled together and the principal engineering elements are defined, and the financial case is refined. By the end of this stage the project budget costs are established together with the proposed procurement route. The output from this stage is a robust business case suitable for investment decisions to be taken.
