Plan of Work
The RIBA Plan of Work breaks building projects into 8 stages, from briefing and design through to construction, operation and use. The Small Project version streamlines these tasks to help clients and architects work more closely. It’s designed to be used alongside the full 2013 Plan, with non-essential tasks removed for simplicity.
