A Design Development is the design and engineering work process that is based on FEED or Basic Engineering information to develop the Detailed Design and Engineering document for the procurement, construction, operation, and maintenance of a project. The Design Development defines and describes all important aspects of the project focusing on the selection of materials; development of technical specifications for detailed engineering and construction; and generation of construction drawings and document. During Design Development, design issues should be resolved to fix the size and character of the entire project including civil and structural, mechanical, and piping, control and electrical systems, and materials as well as other operability and maintainability requirement.
