June
2000:
It
is a generally accepted principle that the earlier
design decisions are made, the greater opportunity
the team has to optimize cost effectiveness and
performance standards and to lower implementation
cost, as shown in this graph from Natural Logic, by
William Reed, which relates specifically to
integrating the design process and performance
decisions.
Clients
recognize the immense value of bringing in
knowledgeable, experienced design-process decision
makers at the outset of defining the project,
whether it be related to or independent of a
facility.
