Richard has experience of running design projects across a number of sectors including Healthcare, Education, Pharmaceutical/Process, Commercial, Aviation and.
The design process needs to remain integrated.This iteration is a part of ensuring the design is and remains integrated.
Although different parties become engaged with design and delivery, it is the integration of the design which leads to the required outcomes.There is little value in ten high-quality design packages if they do not interface and deliver efficiency in construction and effectiveness in operation.The integrated team need to be much more proactive and collaborative than design-coordination, which is a lagging process, detecting and correcting clashes.
Instead we need a design integration approach which progressively and iteratively develops the design philosophy that will deliver the value in construction and operations..All the parties involved in the IPD need to share in the value of the project.
The core project management KPI’s are scope, cost and time however purely focusing on these has two fundamental contra-indications.
Firstly, they provide a limit to the value which can be delivered to the client: - as long as we get,.Multiple use allows for more design refinement, amplifying the benefit of good design.
It justifies a greater level of stakeholder engagement ensuring that designs are highly optimised in terms of layouts, space allocation, adjacencies, and functional flows.Designers can focus more of their efforts on solving the site and context specific challenges.
It facilitates efficient operation and maintenance.Critically, Reference Design gives teams the ability to assess a site very quickly using a ‘test fit’ process:.
