What follows after issuing a Design Submission in the Pearl Design Rating process?

In the Pearl Design Rating process, following the issuance of a Design Submission, the next step is the assessment review. This phase is crucial because it involves a thorough evaluation of the submitted design documents against the criteria set forth by the Estidama framework. During the assessment review, expert assessors analyze the submission to ensure it meets sustainability and performance benchmarks.

This step is fundamental as it determines whether the project can proceed to the next phase and helps identify any improvements or adjustments needed to align with the Estidama's sustainability goals. It's during this review that feedback is provided, enabling the design team to refine their submission if necessary and ultimately ensuring compliance with the Pearl Rating System.

The other options represent subsequent steps or outcomes in the overall project lifecycle, but they do not directly follow the issuing of the Design Submission.
