TBPD Principle

TBPD is “an integrated and holistic knowledge-based framework for conceptualizing, specifying, designing, analyzing and commissioning a building project. It can provide a comprehensive brief for a client and the project team who are committed to quality and high performance goals throughout the project duration, from inception to completion, and can even extend to post-occupancy management and maintenance. It can facilitate optimization of the design performance, avoidance of conflicts, elimination of omissions and abortive work, and wastage of resources.” (Lam, 2009)
