Abstract

For full text link to DOI. This paper describes a study analysing the front-end of the design process for primary healthcare facilities in the UK. A case study approach was used to gain a detailed understanding of the clients’ activities at the frontend of the design process. The research identified the process undertaken to define new requirements, the difficulties faced by the various parties involved and the impact these had at the front-end. The findings have implications for managing requirements with novice construction clients. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: built environment, design activity, requirements capture
