Feasibility + Structuring
Core project inputs are assessed first so commercial viability, assumptions, and risk exposure are clear before opening tenders.
How a DFL project moves from feasibility to completed handover.
This page breaks down the full operating sequence from early project qualification, through role appointments, into live delivery and closeout.
Each stage has defined owners, decision gates, and evidence requirements.
Lifecycle
Three phases, each with a clear objective.
From project validation to delivery closeout, every phase has a distinct operational focus.
Tendering + Appointments
Stakeholders submit module-based bids, decision-makers appoint each role, and key cost commitments are established for execution.
Execution + Closeout
Milestones, document controls, and handover reviews operate through construction until all required completion evidence is approved.
Pre-Launch Controls
Before tendering starts, project readiness is validated.
This stage focuses on data quality, project definition, and release preparedness.
Project Definition Layer
- Listing inputs are reviewed for completeness and commercial coherence.
- Feasibility outputs are used to frame realistic cost and pricing assumptions.
- Decision owners have structured evidence before approving progression.
Release Readiness Layer
- Tender modules and role pathways are prepared before external submissions.
- Approval responsibilities are defined before the project is opened.
- Buyer release is intentionally deferred until role appointments are complete.
Bidding + Selection
Tender workflows turn submissions into appointed delivery roles.
This phase is where project teams are selected through structured review and role-level decisions.
Step 01
Structured Role Submissions
Stakeholders submit bids against their module with role-specific commercial and service inputs.
Step 02
Comparative Evaluation
Project owners and admins evaluate bids side-by-side against project requirements and delivery fit.
Step 03
Role Appointment + Cost Commitment
Approved roles become the active project team, creating a firmer commercial baseline before buyer release.
Delivery Governance
Once appointed, delivery is managed in one live project environment.
The construction phase combines progress tracking, controlled collaboration, and final closeout evidence.
During construction, stakeholders and admins work in one system where updates, files, and approvals are recorded continuously.
Progress Logs + Milestones
Teams record activity and completion against assigned milestones as the project advances.
Files + Access Control
Project files are uploaded, shared, and permissioned by role to keep collaboration structured.
Handover Review + Completion
Required closeout documents are submitted and reviewed before the project is marked complete.
Project Completion
All mandatory handover requirements approved.
When all required role documents are accepted, the project moves to completed status with full closeout confidence.
