He is not, however, infinitely flexible.
This allows us to identify the stakeholders and what they value.We then determine with our client – and key stakeholders – what the high level aspects are of a solution that would solve this problem.
That might sound a bit trivial, but the point is that the solution is almost never a building by itself.A building is a system that, together with other systems, realises the value that matters to client and stakeholders..In the case of the prison transformation project we worked on, this meant that there were two key components to the solution: the people that work in the prison and the building that allows them to do what they need to do in order to help prisoners in their rehabilitation journey.
In the case of a pharmaceutical plant it is the different value-adding steps of the overall process and the interface with people who operate that process and the utilities required for that process..The most important thing during these initial workshops is to keep an open mind.
Rather than tabling a design solution too early and possibly forcing the conversation to a preconceived solution, we encourage stakeholders to speak freely about what matters to them.
Through structured questioning and diagramming on flipcharts and whiteboards (or their digital equivalents), we turn those concerns and desires into clear objectives.- Clear project brief understanding.. - Efficient test fits to maximise site utilisation.. - Future-proof expansion and phasing plans.. - Quick costing methods for all options.. - Utilities requirements assessment.. - Standardisation and design optimisation..
The above diagram illustrates how Chip Thinking® helps in understanding project briefs, test fits, future expansion, and standardisation..Streamlined design and construction.
