Project & Sustainable Building Insights — Daniel Roberts

I write about the parts of projects that are easiest to overlook and most expensive to discover late: interfaces, assumptions, sequencing and buildability.

Cost planning is decision support

A cost plan should help the team choose, not merely record a number.

Sustainability is a systems problem

Material impact, operational energy, durability and buildability need to be considered together.

Development is an exercise in sequencing

Site control, approvals, design, funding and procurement have different risk profiles and should not be committed in the wrong order.
