Design management doesn’t end with drawing issuance — post-design evaluation ensures lessons are captured for continuous improvement.

1. Design Effectiveness Metrics

Design Effectiveness Metrics

2. Post-Design Review

Conducted after project handover to evaluate:

  • Actual constructability issues encountered.
  • Rework and design-related claims.
  • Coordination bottlenecks between disciplines.
  • Lessons for future design management systems.

3. Continuous Improvement Actions

  • Update design templates and checklists.
  • Document best practices in a Design Lessons Learned Register.
  • Conduct team workshops for knowledge transfer.
“Reporting is not about documenting progress — it’s about driving it.”

Module Summary

  • Design management aligns multi-disciplinary teams through structured workflows.
  • Scope control during design prevents overruns and disputes.
  • Coordination meetings ensure continuous alignment and accountability.
  • Constructability reviews validate buildability; Value Engineering enhances efficiency.

Post-design evaluation transforms experience into excellence.
