Design Quality Matters

Further emphasising the importance of design quality, Architect and Associate Patrick Kelly has completed the DQI for Health 2 training to become an accredited facilitator.

A service provided by the CIC (Construction Industry Council) the DQI is a process that enables every aspect of design quality to be assessed at each stage of the construction process, from inception to post occupancy analysis.

DQI Manager Makis Peppas explained: ”Design Quality Indicator (DQI)I is a facilitated design appraisal process. It takes the form of structured workshops and is supported by a bespoke evaluation model and an independent facilitator accredited by the CIC.

DQI for Health 2 (DQIfH2) follows the NHS’s business case process through Strategic Outline Case, Outline Business Case, Full Business Case, Construction and Post Occupancy Evaluation”.
