The functional and technical program (FTP) is a reference tool that allows designers of plans and specifications to get in touch with all the needs of a project. It gathers data on the sector of activity concerned, defines the precise problem and lays the foundations for its resolution.
In addition to establishing the criteria for an intervention strategy, the FTP specifies the general, detailed and technical characteristics of the institution's organization, operation and surface area, while focusing on equipment needs, staffing and operating costs. Finally, it balances the financial aspects, the existing physical environment and the current and foreseeable user needs in a real estate scenario.
Steps for Realization
The steps are based on the methodological procedures of authorities such as the SQI, the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications and Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC):
Analysis of organizational and real estate data;
Consultation with site users and documentation of needs;
Synthesis of the data collected and development of guiding principles;
Determination of preferred parameters to meet user needs;
Development of a pre-concept real estate scenario;
Identification of technical and normative requirements, cost estimates, schedule definition and production of technical specifications.
