Wilson, Grant; Kishk, Mohammed

Abstract

Capital investment in current economic circumstances, is severely challenged. This is especially evident within the NHS built estate. Estate managers and Design Teams have a duty to achieve Value for Money on projects; yet, no measured and standardised system exists. A user friendly software model is described to achieve this aim.
