The project process is informed by design sources set out below. At the core of the Newtecnic design process are 5 tools: systems thinking, technology, patterns, mental models and drawing/making/writing.

The basis of the Newtecnic project process for architecture and engineering is:

visualise - design - test

The 18 themes of the design sources mirror categories of the project process of visualise - design - test. A set of 9 project steps (as seen at Modern Construction Online) is distributed across these 3 categories for developing architectural and engineering outputs that address construction and fabrication-related design issues at an early stage. This process allows projects to revisit earlier iterations to inform the project synthesis.
