But you could still get this!
![Page 12: Jim McMillan, Great Places presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557e8bc7d8b42a8d518b461f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Good design is not an optional extra, it is an integral part of the success of any project”
“Well designed housing is a fundamental right of everyone”
Raising the bar
•Context
•Clairty of design
•Architectural ambition
•Access and inclusion
•Sustainability
•Detailing and materials
•Maintenance
•Structure and services
![Page 13: Jim McMillan, Great Places presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557e8bc7d8b42a8d518b461f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Building for life
• Environment and community• Character• Streets, parking and pedestrianisation• Design and construction
‘Improving quality of life through design’
![Page 14: Jim McMillan, Great Places presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557e8bc7d8b42a8d518b461f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Standard house plans
• Foolproof(?) way to avoid non-compliance
• House Plans not Types
• Still allows the designer lots of freedom
![Page 15: Jim McMillan, Great Places presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557e8bc7d8b42a8d518b461f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Get the team right
• A skilled team will optimise designs and maximise value
• Team selection based on best value not cheapest
• Get a mixture of experience and fresh ideas
• Past schemes are a good indicator (but a bad scheme could be the clients fault)
![Page 17: Jim McMillan, Great Places presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557e8bc7d8b42a8d518b461f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Designers - OJEU Selection
• A legal requirement but also an opportunity to see who’s out there
• Build knowledge sharing and joint research events into the framework
![Page 18: Jim McMillan, Great Places presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557e8bc7d8b42a8d518b461f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Design Competitions
• Brings in ‘young blood’ and fresh ideas
• Can be hard work and not always suitable
• Assess the benefits before committing
• Don’t presume what you will get because you probably won’t get it
