Drives to improve industry performance are being hindered by difficulties in
managing the construction design process and preventing the UK
construction industry from delivering projects on time, to budget and to the
specified quality. The paper reports on a research project at a major UK
civil and building design and construction company to develop and deploy a
training initiative capable of making significant improvements to its design
management performance and deliver benefits to many project stakeholders.
It describes the development, content and trialing of the training material
and a suite of twenty-five design management tools to drive change
throughout the organisation. The paper is likely to be of interest to those
involved in design management and the development of tools and practices
to help the industry improve design management performance.
