In terms of maximising value, we must also address the reality that at present, the majority of an architect or designer’s time is spent documenting ideas, whereas in actuality, it is the creation of the idea in the first place which is the most value-adding element.
We know that the physical environment affects us directly, and it has been shown repeatedly that the patient experience of a beautiful and uplifting hospital environment makes a materially positive difference to clinical outcomes.. Clearly, all of these benefits are critical when healthcare is under such pressure – pressure which shows no signs of abating.When public money is being spent at such scale, the opportunity to increase benefits across the piece while also making the money go further is surely one that we should seize.. A proven approach.
Our approach is proven to work.There is nothing stopping us from doing this other than inertia and reluctance among some parties to change from traditional methods of design and construction.But as recent events have shown, traditional is not good enough.. We need new approaches, and smart solutions.
Fortunately, we have them..If you'd like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach and Modern Methods of Construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.

The term ‘Platforms,’ most commonly used in manufacturing, refers to a process whereby sets of components or assemblies can be put together in a multitude of different ways to create a multitude of different products..This is due to coal plants, etc.
However, substantial development and investment in recent years by the government and private bodies has reduced the carbon factor of the grid, through the use of renewables, nuclear power stations, and so on.The National Grid is responsible for working out the carbon factor for the entire grid.
They have scenario modelling and are aware of where things could end up in the best case scenario.However, they also look at what’s happened over the last year.
