Facilitating Client Value Creation in the Conceptual Design Phase of Construction Projects: A Workshop Approach

If client values are not fully understood in a construction project it is likely to result in either low fulfilment of client expectations or multiple design alterations during the project process which lead to additional costs and frustration among the project participants. However, it is not a str...
