When the site investigation is finished , a report with layout drawings , boreholes logs , soil samples , laboratory test results together with the specialist’s interpretation will be produced for the engineer / architect’s reference to proceed with the design and specifications for the foundation . The foundation design will include the earthworks ( the balance of cut and fill , re-use of suitable material , disposal of unsuitable material and the respective replacement ) , piling work , diaphragm walls and underground waterproofing work .

The designs of substructures and superstructures will also be carried out and substantiated by engineering analysis of each structural member and are converted and put into drawings . In this planning stage , the engineer will consider the various alternatives to achieve the requirements of the project in order to save cost and time .

Further designs of drainage work , utilities work , roadwork , external work , E & M works , building services , building finishes and landscaping work will be followed up and accomplished to form the set of engineering drawings after consideration of alternative solutions to meet the constructional and financial requirements .
