Approach to Adaptability

Stakeholder Consideration

Our approach initially seeks to avoid the need for adaptation through getting the design right first time.

Central to this is including users of the building from the start.

1. Engage 3. Define2. Understand 4. Deliver

Stakeholder Consideration

Builds on values work done previously for a school which highlights the differences and conflict lie between stakeholders.

Conclusions

Considering stakeholders and future use from the outset can save time and money over the building lifecycle.

The matrices developed will help decision making in future projects.

Our approach provides a balance between social and technical solutions.
