PPP Efficiency in Design
Adding value by taking a whole of life approach
Geoff Hardy15 November 2016
Quantifying delivered added value through design is not easy as it may not be revealed until many years later
To create value across the whole lifecycle, designers need to imagine circumstances around the asset 10 or 20 years into the future
Our ability to predict the future and respond to it is limited. Our current approach is to focus on the ability of our infrastructure to adapt to changes over time
Focus on response to brief
Work based on design standards
Discount fees in the hope the client is shortlisted
Recover the discount when fully develop the design
Leave the project
Design
Limited influence
Lack of strategic visibility
Short term view in design
Knowledge leaves the project
Increased constructability risks
Increased cost
Outcomes
Drivers of ChangeIn the Design Market
The global design market
Commoditisation of design
Digital design capability
The emergence of global
integrated businesses
If the designer owns part of an asset, is paying for its equity, is involved in its construction and taking a share of risks, has a role in its operation and is responsible for maintaining it over its whole life, you will get more innovative infrastructure that is more easily constructible, performs better and is more cost efficient to operate and maintain
Project Margin Approach

CAPEX
Increased focus on constructability reducing cost & risk
All impacted by design and have to be imagined upfront. Carrying design into operations reduces cost & risk
CAPEX injection timing and application can be optimised with better insight of the asset reducing cost & risk and increasing returns
Maximised through improved revenues and reduced operating and maintenance costs
PPP Efficiency by DesignAdding value by taking a whole of life approach to design in PPP projects
Asset specific and technically informed operating practices plus targeted maintenance spending ensures asset performance, reducing penalties and maximising performance based revenues
Use knowledge of the asset to operate it more efficiently
Optimise maintenance spending through intimate knowledge of the asset through design
Reduced costReduced riskImproved operabilityGreater adaptabilityOptimised renewal
