The architecture and construction industry's history is replete with projects beginning the design and construction phases before completion of the relevant research and homework. Unfortunately, these projects are completed over-budget and past the completion dates.
The consequences of starting a project without the completion of the Discover and Review of Options™ phase is analogous to pouring a concrete slab foundation on a Texas afternoon in August. At the end of the day is a slab (not a good foundation). And as the project progresses, the slab cracks and heaves, and disrupts the project—poor planning, costly to change, the project schedule, and budget.
Twelve pages comprise a primer of reasoning for the completion of the Discover and Review of Options™ phase and the Program of Requirements to help us help you ‘Live in the Reality of your Dream's Vision’™.
