Using Design Principals to Drive Better Project Outcomes in Asset Management
Join NIC Design Group members Clare Donnelly and Madeleine Kessler on 15 January to discuss how using a structured design process, supported by project level design principles, can improve a project’s outcomes throughout the life cycle, from conception to construction, through operation and decommissioning.
Infrastructure design is about so much more than aesthetics. By using an iterative, structured design process from the project outset, schemes can become accessible, affordable, cost effective, integrated and sensitive to environment and place. Adhering to a structured design process, underpinned by design principles, should not be seen as ‘cost additional’ – but the very opposite. It can avoid the reactive, ill-conceived, late changes to infrastructure projects that often cause cost escalation and programme delay.
To support the design process and maximise a project’s value, project teams should develop and embed bespoke design principles to help guide delivery from project definition through to decommissioning. They should directly address a project’s requirements, benefits and outcomes. address their project’s specific requirements, benefits and outcomes. Principles should also align all parties around agreed, shared outcomes, facilitating timely, effective delivery.
This webinar will illustrate how projects can benefit from using a structured design process, supported by the development of project level design principles. It will discuss how asset managers can use design tools to ensure projects are well-maintained and resilient, and support decision making during a project’s operating and decommissioning phases.
