Abstract
A detailed design study is often needed to elaborate on and define the master plan. Reasons for detailed studies include if a client requests further exploration; a regulatory agency wants to assess the plan in more detail; a feasibility analysis is necessary; more specificity is needed to carefully guide the design of elements within a plan, such as buildings and open spaces; or the economic viability of the plan must be determined. Although a detailed design might follow quickly after the master plan, at other times the request to detail the project can occur months—or sometimes years—after the presentation and delivery of the master plan.
