förprojekteringshandlingar

Förprojektering, or pre-design planning, is an early phase in construction and infrastructure projects in Sweden and Nordic contexts. It aims to define the project scope, objectives, constraints, and feasible solutions before detailed design begins. The purpose is to establish a solid basis for decisions, allow early involvement of stakeholders, and provide input for budgeting, scheduling, and permitting.

Key activities typically include gathering client requirements, analyzing site conditions, regulatory and planning constraints, and assessing different design approaches. The process often produces a concise feasibility or planning report, a program or brief that describes desired functions and performance criteria, and initial concept designs or outline proposals. These deliverables help compare options, test assumptions, and identify risks, costs, and procurement implications early in the project.

Deliverables in förprojektering may cover: a project brief or program; feasibility findings; outline or concept design; preliminary cost estimates and rough schedules; risk and viability assessments; and a plan for subsequent projektering and permitting. Stakeholders commonly engaged include the client, the design team, engineers, planners, authorities, and potential contractors or partners involved in early procurement.

Relation to other phases: förprojektering precedes detailed design (projektering) and construction, and provides the information that informs detailed design decisions, permits, and funding approvals. Effective förprojektering reduces change orders, clarifies requirements, and helps align expectations among parties. It can vary in scope and depth depending on project size, complexity, and regulatory context.
