The design framework is embedded into a workflow, which leads the project team from design brief to handover.

When designing a building according to circular economy principles, it is important that these are embedded in the design process since the initial concept stage. It is recommended that the implementation of these principles is discussed with investors and developers to define the specific project objectives.

During the proposed circular design strategy workshop, project teams can assess the project under the strategies and KPIs outlined in the circular design framework. A virtual workshop environment is provided to guide project teams through these strategies and relevant design actions. The output of the workshop is a project circular design statement. The circular design statement captures all relevant design decisions and set targets, and guides decision-making throughout the design process.
