The bottom line

About 65% of the work in Design and plan asset construction is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.

Why: With no child occupations seeded, the scalar is derived from the PCF category lens and the process description. While the parent category ('Design and construct productive assets') carries a heavily physical prior, this specific sub-process focuses on 'design and plan,' 'verifying regulations,' and 'organizing resources.' These are desk-based, administrative knowledge tasks involving project management and compliance rather than direct physical labor, pushing the scalar up into the high-hybrid range.

How the work flows

Trigger: An approved capital project request initiates the asset design and planning phase.

  1. Define asset specifications and project scope
  2. Create architectural and engineering designs
  3. Verify regulatory compliance and secure permits
  4. Develop construction timelines and phasing schedules
  5. Allocate material, labor, and equipment resources
  6. Finalize the construction plan for handover

Outcome: A finalized construction plan, complete with approved designs, permits, and resource schedules, is ready for execution.
