The document outlines the stages to complete a good structural design of a project: DD stage (data collection), design stage (modelling and drawings), and delivery stage (issuing drawings and inspections). The DD stage involves mobilizing decision makers like architects, MEP, clients. The design stage includes modelling, sizing elements, producing 100% drawings in packages (S0 to S3). The delivery stage consists of issuing the structural GFC package, producing BoQ and estimates, and conducting periodic inspections.
