| Publisher Description: The effective management of brief development throughout the project life cycle is a key factor to achieve client satisfaction, meet user needs, cope with regulation changes, exploit business opportunities, adapt to technology improvement, add more value and manage associated risk. Limitations of the current briefing theories relating to brief development with the existing approaches to manage change orders and integrate value and risk management do not adequately address the problem of managing brief development in construction. Since any brief development either adds value or risk to the project or adds both, this book has developed an innovative protocol integrating value and risk management to manage dynamic brief development in construction. The use of this unique tool resulted in achieving client satisfaction, responding to the influences of the brief development drivers, managing change orders effectively and improving the briefing process. Moreover, powerful prototype software called the BDManager was produced to overcome the limitations of the developed protocol and facilitate its use by client organisations, decision makers, design team and construction professionals. |
