As such, forms of modular will no doubt be part of the future solution..
Many activities, processes and sites develop organically over time, meaning that the big picture can become confused or even lost altogether.Agreeing what needs to be done can be a challenge in itself, as it can be hard even to know where to start.. Design to Value master planning is a highly collaborative process, customised to the client’s specific situation and requirements, which aims to create sufficient understanding from which to decide what, how and when to improve – and why.
And given that the constant in every project is uncertainty and change, it must always allow for multiple variables, both known and unknown..Importantly, effective master planning also allows the client to explain simply – and sell – their issues, requirements and planning to other (senior) internal stakeholders, demonstrating clearly how to move from a present state to potential future states, and the benefits of doing so.. Bryden Wood’s master planning process.Our approach to master planning is collaborative, and iterative.
Collaborative because there is usually no one person who understands every element of the situation (we bring together the right people to combine their knowledge and experience).Iterative because the problem is unwrapped and understood gradually, by identifying potential solutions, analysing them and feeding the outcome back into the continuously evolving problem statement.
The team evaluates the outcome, revises their understanding of the problem (if required), and goes around the loop again, with new, adjusted or more developed solutions..
The key principles of our master planning approach are: to adopt a common language that can be understood by all involved; to use clear visualisations rather than words as much as possible, as this aids general understanding; to be clear and explicit about any and all assumptions, and; to capture as much data and information as possible from as many sources as possible, so that no knowledge goes to waste..The amount of information to be reviewed is significantly reduced.
Standardised solutions mean that detail is available early and can be pre-approved.The variation of the design and interfaces are standardised and controlled: only the differences need to be reviewed.
Rich data representation can provide regulatory reviewers with relevant information in the appropriate format at each stage of the process.Data-rich models can generate automatic reports to demonstrate design compliance.. Simplified systems and processes enable simplified interactions.
