These different measures of value need to be expressed not so narrowly as purely financial e.g.
Design the business case first to avoid missing ways to discover what value looks like.The industry is reinventing how design and construction happen but to do this all parties must be involved as early as possible in the project, ideally when the client is beginning to conceive the business problem they must solve.
The first place to start innovation is around the definition of customer value and the range of options that might exist to help a client achieve that value.. 3.Working standards and efficiency are paramount.As we move into a DfMA world, it’s important that progress is influenced by the workers who are going to be installing the work, and that they are given the opportunity to do their jobs in the safest, best way possible.
This will also simplify the work, reduce the number of site operatives needed and the level of experience required.This will in turn reduce frustration on site and, ultimately, change the way people work in the construction industry to make it more attractive to the next generation.. 4.
IPD removes misunderstandings and tensions between designer and constructor.
Integrated Project Delivery promotes a high level of collaboration and shared commercial reward so that stakeholders are incentivised to work together in a better way.Instead, the data will help us understand network and system level impacts.
We’ll be able to evaluate specifically how an energy project, a transport project, a school and a housing scheme interact.Digital twins and federated digital twins will enable us to understand how things are actively performing..
Whereas, originally, this effort focused on the capital phase of a single construction project, with digital twins we’ll be dealing with the whole life of an asset, and how it relates to, and integrates with,its environment and the other assets around it.That level of data will provide huge knowledge and insight, which in turn will help us to make better decisions supporting our broader set of Design for Value outcomes.
