At the conception of any project there exists only the Owner’s basic needs. With all of the challenges that we face in the early stages of a project, the translation of these needs into a detailed project basis of design for construction is one of the greatest challenges faced by project management, design, and delivery teams.

At the same time, quality expectations for the creation of highly functional, efficient, and innovative facilities continues to increase. Project teams must address strategies to successfully define organizational and user needs, translate these needs into functional requirements during the early stages of a project, and set the project on a successful path to efficient design and delivery.

The ability to deliver the right project, on time, is particularly important on highly technical and programmatically intensive science facilities which typically incur greater risk due to the complexity of this project type.

Through the use of case study project examples, this presentation will provide a guide to developing and aligning needs, vision, programs and budgets early in the process to minimize risk and create a roadmap for successful project design and delivery.
