Which BERDE stage focuses on verifying the construction, renovation, or implementation of the approved Stage 1 design?

• A. Stage 1 - Design
• B. Stage 2 - Construction
• C. Berde - Districts
• D. Stage 3 - Operational

Answer: (B)

BERDE stages follow a project from design to construction to operation. The stage that verifies the construction, renovation, or implementation of the approved Stage 1 design is Stage 2 — Construction. In this phase, the project is actually built or upgraded according to the approved design, with checks to ensure alignment with the plans, materials, workmanship, and BERDE criteria. It also includes commissioning and testing to confirm that systems perform as intended before the building enters operation. After construction, the project moves into the operational stage, which focuses on actual performance in use. The other options correspond to different phases: Stage 1 is about developing and approving the design, Stage 3 is about operating performance, and the district term refers to a broader district-level framework rather than a single-stage process.
