Stakeholder’s Influence on Design-Construction Planning
Abstract: The design phase requires several interactions between the client and the architect as compared to other phases. Major decisions on the project were finalized during this design phase with the inadequate involvement of the forthcoming stakeholders—fabricators, contractors and vendors. Further, fragmentation in design and construction phase had led to redesign and rework during the construction execution. Additionally, this fragmentation had design solutions that had not involved constructability issues, which resulted …
