In an office, you aim for one and a half air changes per hour, whereas with laboratories, because they've got lots of safety cabinets and other devices, we have to look at 10, 15 or even 20 changes an hour in some places.
Why are planners (and the public) expected to engage with idealised and unrealistic CGI images of proposed developments that they cannot adjust, interrogate or control?Digitisation would make it possible to view proposed developments in their context, that any user could control and view from any angle.. Planning applications and the public:.
The more accessible a planning application can be made, the easier it can be interpreted.By making it more understandable it will enable greater levels of public engagement.In turn, it is hoped that this will result in a better decision making process and one that is more reflective of the community it will affect.. Planning, developers and bureaucracy:.
It is worth noting that complex analogue processes tend to create work for people who specialise in navigating them and this, in turn, raises the barrier of entry to the uninitiated.This impacts both the small scale developer who finds it too costly to engage with the planning process; and the domestic developer who may require a number of expensive professional consultants to extend their kitchen.. Challenges/blockers/barriers to a digital planning process.
Clearly, there are technological challenges to a project such as this, but they are far from insurmountable.
As with all change, the principle barriers will be the cultural shift required..We bring only our Design to Value approach, using the combined powers of data, construction technology and imagination to establish what the most effective solution will be.. We have been working this way for over 25 years.
, delivering major design and construction projects in pharmaceutical and process facilities, data centres, aviation, healthcare, education, residential, water infrastructure, transport infrastructure, custodial facilities… It has unlimited applications.. Our Design to Value approach is proven to deliver better results for the built environment, and for our clients..It is being done..
