This means we know far more about how a building is due to operate than we ever have before.

Being able to engage with and interpret a 3D model is much more helpful to people than being presented with unrealistic CGI imagery depicting permanent sunshine and few cars.Currently, trust in the planning system is at a low.

If we can help people feel more in control of what they’re being consulted on, and give them a better sense of what a development will really look like, it should help to alleviate a lot of concern.. At present, ten Pathfinder projects are being undertaken by various local authorities.All of them are looking at how to digitise planning policy, and make it more machine readable.Local plans take years for councils to produce, and are based on evidence which is out of date almost as soon as it’s put into use, and definitely by the time the plan is published years later.

Digitising the planning system will help us to start producing policies based on real time evidence.Policies could change over a very short time.

Changes to market conditions, developer contributions, or the cost of land could impact the number, or location, of homes originally desired.

Digitising planning would keep things much more reliable and up to date..This has often resulted in solutions that require no capital expenditure at all, because we find different ways of meeting the requirements..

The Design to Value approach relies fundamentally on close collaboration between a wider range of experts than is seen in conventional projects, particularly including business functions.These experts are actively involved in the definition and search for solutions on an equal footing with the engineering and architectural people who would normally be considered part of the project team.. We also use an iterative approach to pharmaceutical facility design, recognising that good solutions emerge from exploration of all the options.

So our chances of finding the optimum solution are increased when compared to more linear design approaches..There are four principles that enable us to operate in this way:.
