End User Brief
Description
Gathering and validating the needs, expectations and operational requirements of the end users. This includes confirming functional spaces, performance critera, specific user needs and the overall vision for how the space should support teaching, learning, research or campus experience. The Project Manager is to arrange a meeting with the User Coordinator/Senior User to confirm the brief.
Repeated Subsequent RIBA Stages
RIBA Stage 2
Monitoring any changes to the original brief, recording their implications and ensuring all design decisions remain aligned with the agreed functional and operational requirements. This includes identifying impacts on cost, programme, quality and user needs.
RIBA Stage 4
Checking all final design outputs against the original brief, functional requirements and key design drivers. Confirms that no changes introduced during coordination or procurement negatively impact functionality, accessibility, maintenance, user experience, or operational needs.
