The Newtecnic method for architectural and engineering design comprises:
Visualise
Design
Test
A set of 9 project steps is distributed across the 3 categories of visualise, design and test for developing architectural design and engineering design that address construction and fabrication-related design issues at an early stage. This process allows projects to revisit earlier iterations to inform the project synthesis. The 9 project steps are Spatial Analysis, Functional Arrangement, Spatial Arrangement, Volumetric Arrangement, Environmental Strategy, Structural Strategy, Envelope Strategy, Fabrication Strategy and Construction Strategy. Descriptions and examples of each step can be seen at Modern Construction Online.
