today's competitive construction market, there are almost as many lighting solutions as projects. But how to tailor your choice to the individual project's specifications and circumstances will help ensure success. Key factors important in selecting the right lighting systems include budget, time resIn traints, risk, and level of quality.
The design portion of a Design/Build project which has become more popular in the last 10 years is crucial and affects the entire project. Really for the life of the building envelope. Properly designing the lighting system for the entire team can affect the overall success of the project. Knowing the capabilities of the trades that you will be working with helps with the decision of which systems can be used. Whether you're a consulting engineer or a lighting designer, you should become familiar with the process and find out what it takes to achieve results.
Here's what you need for a successful Design/Build project:
* A well defined and explicit scope of work
* A specific range of responsibility for each team member and criteria for measurement; * A knowledgeable owner who can make quick, sound decisions
* Experienced, competent team members
* A cohesive team with members fully committed to the common needs and goals set by the owner.
The bottom line for success is bringing the right lighting solution together to negotiate a plan that meets the budget as well as addressing goals and needs of all members and to ultimately satisfy the owner. Of course, the right team with the right goals and a cooperative/knowledgeable owner spells success for almost any method.
