ADePT–Planning, Managing and Controlling the Design Process
The design process is notoriously difficult to manage. Research shows that the cost of design exceeds budget in a third of all construction projects, and the outputs of the design process are delivered late over 40% of the time. The result of such delays is cumulative. The late delivery of design information invariably means increased design costs. If information fails to reach the construction team in time, there will be delays in production. Design changes necessitate expensive rework. This chapter provides details of the approach taken by the Analytical Design Planning Technique (ADePT). This technique models the flow of information required by designers and then uses ‘matrix modelling’ techniques to optimise the design activities and produce a schedule of design tasks. The approach is based on collaborative working between designers and the construction team that produces innovative solutions to design and construction problems and makes significant savings in cost and time.
