Construction Cycle Diagram

This diagram illustrates the complete, cyclical process involved in a building's life, from its inception to its eventual renewal. It begins with 'Planning', where design and initial concepts take shape, often represented by 3D models. Following this is 'Construction', the phase of physical building and site development, marked by a crane and building materials. Once constructed, the building undergoes 'Commissioning', signifying its readiness for use and handover. The longest phase is 'Operation & Maintenance', covering the daily management and upkeep of the facility. Finally, the cycle moves to 'Renovation', which can involve refurbishment, upgrades, or even demolition and recycling, often leading back to the planning stage for new phases or structures, emphasizing a continuous loop of development and renewal.
