 SUMMARY - CONCLUSIONS

The design procurement and design process phase

is a critical period for the success of the project and is an
integral part of the project pipeline
The time required for design phase and works
procurement must not be underestimated
The correct sequence of preparatory stages leads to better
and more effective projects who are realized on time
