The purpose of the project studies is :
1° To specify the overall solution and the technical, architectural and landscaping choices;
2° To determine the characteristics and dimensions of the various structures in the overall solution, as well as their topographical location;
3° To specify the routes of the supply and removal of all fluids as well as the existing underground networks;
4° To specify the general provisions and technical specifications of the equipment meeting the needs of the operation;
5° Drawing up an estimate of the cost of the works, broken down into technically homogeneous elements;
6° Enabling the project owner to determine the estimated cost of the overall solution and, where applicable, of each phase of construction, to assess the operating and maintenance costs, to set the schedule for completion and, where applicable, to divide the project into lots.
