In BERDE Buildings, which stage follows DESIGN?

• A. Stage 1 - Planning
• B. Stage 2 - Implementation
• C. Stage 1 - Design
• D. Stage 2 - Construction

Answer: (D)

BERDE builds its assessment around the project’s lifecycle. Once the design phase is complete and the design intent is documented, the work moves into construction, where the design is implemented on site, systems are installed, and performance is verified through checks and commissioning. That makes the stage following design Stage 2 - Construction. The other options represent phases that come before design or use labels that don’t align with BERDE’s sequence, so they wouldn’t be the next stage after design.
