*BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES TO INTEGRATED APPROACH

•High value for cross-discipline learning:• nothing done in isolation

• all disciplines have an appreciation of the implications they have on other work tasks

•High value added for the client:• reduces the likelihood of re-work at the detailed design

stage

• high value for team approach to subsequent tasks / projects

•Commitment by team (consultant and client) to communicate through each phase of process
