Our experience
has shown that design decisions must be made carefully and in the right order
and with all stakeholders involved to avoid costly design changes later on
and to give our clients what they need.
Our Issue-Based
Design Process
is
a method of integrating our own design and decision making with our client’s
decision making process. By recognizing and planning for our client’s own
in-house decision making we can make sure we give clients the information
they need to make timely choices.
We try
to make the biggest decisions early. Our experience has been that decisions
made early in the design process are actually the most important and far reaching
in their effect on both the cost and overall efficiency of the project. We
refer to the issue-based schedule at each client meeting to remind all participants
where we are in the process, what decisions have already been made, and what
will happen next. |
