## Research questions

### What comes out of schematic design?

AIA describes early drawings and media that communicate spatial relationships, scale and form for owner review. A design-services page can show sample deliverable types while making clear that the actual contract defines the work.

### How is design development different?

AIA says design development adds architectural and building-system detail, including materials and openings. Creative can show a progression from concept to defined elements rather than presenting a concept rendering as a build-ready set.

### What do construction documents support?

AIA says construction documents contain greater detail and pertinent information for contractor pricing and construction. An ad should state whether that document phase is included in the service scope.

### Can every architect promise the same package?

AIA explicitly says its phase deliverables are common examples, not mandatory requirements. A buyer-facing page should list the firm’s real scope and deliverables instead of implying a universal package.
