The design process needs to be formed and managed with frequent check-ins across the design spectrum.Many times, have I experienced very unpleasant shocks on projects which have not deliberately iterated in this way.
The other reason, this is required is that we cannot pretend that, even in the more detailed levels of design, ideas, drivers and decisions, will not continue to evolve.You can call it changing-minds or scope-creep or natural emergence; whatever it is called this will be handled much more cost and time effectively through managed iteration..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.rearrange or reconfigure to suit site constraints and layout.
choose between a ‘seismic’ or ‘non-seismic’ version.choose between key suppliers for major equipment or specific materials required by fire codes etc.. We achieve this level of flexibility by thinking about the asset and the design in terms of ‘Chips’.
To create Chips, we break your assets, and the processes within them, down into the smallest, meaningful sets of interacting or interdependent components.Chips are created at all levels, from.
