Typical Drawing Complexity at Each Level

So the big abstract design work is happening during schematic design, but then design development is where you're getting all of that next level of design, so really thinking about the materials, and how the windows are gonna work, and what the ceilings are gonna be like, and all of those kinds of things. So you have this very simplified idea of how the project might work in the early phases when you get a sign off, and everybody's rolling forward, we're all on the same page, then we go into the design development, and we really design it out, and then when we get to sign off at that point, hopefully we have a pretty good idea of what the budget is, and that the budget is holding true as we've moved from schematic design into design development. Well now we're gonna go into the CD phase, the contract documents phase, and that phase, I'm designing still, because I'm getting more and more detailed as I go along, but I shouldn't be really designing from the standpoint of big ideas.
