Basic Design

The basic design determines how (technical) goals are to be achieved. The same technical goals may be achieved with different basic designs (e.g. a one- or twoblock design for university hospitals, a bridge or tunnel as a link). In this case, the financial or the time goals may be decisive for the choice of a specific basic design. The basic design of MOEs is crucial for project success:It immediately determines the performance of the technical goals which have a dominant influence on the overall performance.If the basic design does not comply with the interests of the project owners and the users, the whole undertaking will encounter substantial changes during all phases, including the initial operation and permanent operation & maintenance of the project.
