This checklist supports the development of the concept design into a coordinated outline proposal that meets the project brief, performance objectives, and regulatory context.
It provides a structured framework for quality assurance reviews during RIBA Stage 2, ensuring that architectural, structural, and building services concepts are fully explored, risks identified, and design decisions recorded with traceable rationale.
Aligned with RIBA Plan of Work 2020 – Stage 2, ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management), ISO 19650 (Information Management), and Building Safety Act (BSA) guidance, the checklist helps project teams:
Confirm and freeze the Project Brief, site strategy, and outline design intent
Coordinate key design inputs (architecture, structure, MEP, sustainability, fire safety)
Review planning strategy, statutory requirements, and client sign-off gateways
Establish digital, risk, and QA registers to ensure a controlled transition into Stage 3
The Stage 2 QA Checklist forms part of the DraftCheck RIBA-aligned Quality Management Toolkit, ensuring traceable design development, compliance, and readiness for subsequent spatial coordination at Stage 3.
