Welcome to the sixth episode of Property Done Properly, an educational and entertainment podcast in Real Estate, Construction and Facilities management covering the whole life cycle of a project from inception to realisation.

Ian continues his coverage of his five pillars with the fifth, design. Included in this subject are scope and client requirements, design management, technology systems processes and whole life cycle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The client requirements must be defined in detail, from the required functions of the property to the desired aesthetics. No detail of the clients vision must be overlooked
• Design management is the nature and make up of the design team. They need to be fully informed of the clients requirements and the make up of the team should be formed based on those requirements. 
• Make sure you have all the correct technology systems for your projects requirements. Modern tech offers vast options from drones to capture site data to AI systems. All these not only facilitate actual production, but can assist in monitoring and managing the project. 
• A whole life cycle approach should be taken with the project from the inception of the idea to the demolition of the building. The operational cost of a project extends all the way to its complete end and all aspects should be considered.

BEST MOMENTS

‘In designing hospitals, we call this adjacencies. So we made sure that the relevant rooms are adjacent to each other. So for instance, where a operating theatre exists, it will need to have certain functions and rooms next to it like the scrub room like the anaesthetic room, like the recovery room. So those all adjacencies to that operating theatre or suite of operating theatres. So that is a very important aspect to the operation of that part of a hospital.'

‘So this is important that the whole design team considers the structure correctly at the ver, very beginning. How everything is layered what the geographies are, the attributes, that sort of thing.' 

‘Does he want it to be a passive house type design? When it's a completely sealed building with air recirculation, heat recovery and all that sort of thing. That all needs to be thought through because that can impact building design.'
