We’re starting to ask different questions.How do we drive better performance?
How do we increase value and deliver those broader outcomes?How do we work with industry, academia and the business community to deliver results?.For all the terrible destruction COVID-19 has caused, perhaps the silver lining has been its role as a catalyst for a more rapid pace of change.
The government messaging is Build Back Better, incorporating a greener and faster element.We’re recognising the need for better outcomes, supporting things like levelling up the economy, delivering greater social value and driving a path to net-zero carbon emissions.
It’s an encouraging shift, because we won’t achieve these goals simply by taking the lowest price, transferring risks down the supply chain, and using arcane procurement practices.
We need to see this recently accelerated pace of change continue, and perhaps go even further, as the government sets out its plans to drive an economic recovery through the way it invests in construction infrastructure..It’s wrong to think of designers as glorified technicians who turn project briefs into drawings and specifications that can be handed over to a contractor.
The real challenge, and where designers can help their clients best, is to engage with stakeholders and come up with creative solutions that form the basis of the brief for a successful project.This is true Design to Value and adopting such an approach in conjunction with Modern Methods of Construction is transformational..
