Projekteerida

Projekteerida is an Estonian verb meaning to design or plan a project. It is used in professional contexts such as architecture, civil engineering, construction, urban planning, and product development to describe the process of creating plans and specifications that guide realization.

The act encompasses defining requirements, exploring concepts, and producing the documents needed to obtain approvals and to procure construction or manufacture. Typical outputs include initial sketches, design concepts, detailed drawings, technical specifications, and models or simulations. The practice often involves iterative refinement, feasibility assessment, and coordination with stakeholders, authorities, and contractors.

The scope of projekti design ranges from a preliminary concept to comprehensive construction documents and procurement packages. It may cover regulatory compliance, cost estimation, risk assessment, scheduling, and quality control. Depending on the field, deliverables can include architectural plans, engineering calculations, and software architecture or system designs.

Beyond physical construction, projekteerida can also refer to designing services, programs, or software, reflecting the broad sense of planning and specification. In Estonian usage, the verb is commonly paired with nouns such as hoone (building), infrastruktuur (infrastructure), tarkvara (software), or arendusprojekt (development project). The practice is typically led by professionals such as architects, engineers, designers, and project managers, who collaborate to translate client briefs into implementable solutions.
