We’re interested now in doing new and better things.
These are the steps that require human judgment and interaction with stakeholders.. Design to Value – building on combined strengths.We call this method ‘Design to Value ’.
It focuses on the objectives of our clients and all stakeholders, and combines their expertise in their products or service, with our expertise in design, engineering, modern methods of construction, manufacturing and digital construction technology We use this combined expertise to drive value into the design process..Although this might sound obvious, it’s a long way from what actually happens in a lot of situations, which aren’t Design to Value led.Typically, clients spend a lot of time thinking about what they want out of a building.
They try to formulate the solution as precisely as possible and then appoint a design consultant to turn that into a good design.Stakeholders are consulted along the way and experts review the design at certain points, but have little control over a concept that is put forward by the lead designer and is not always based on a full understanding of all relevant aspects.
Changes in the design are discouraged because that only leads to delay..
This is understandable, but it’s a missed opportunity.Finding ways to get the right people to do the right work at the right time is the first principle of an integrated approach.. Design is not a linear and regressive process.
My second principle is the same principle that I have written about in relation to AI and general intelligence.Any intelligent system cannot be left to operate in isolation or disconnected from the.
without regular checking-in; it is like leaving an AI-robot in-charge of your children.No matter how detailed or how explicit you are with information, data and rules there will be some critical implicit knowledge input that is constantly required to deliver success.
