Process innovation in the Dutch building and construction industry is urgently needed to adequately answer current accommodation questions from clients and users. The ADMS-programme provides an excellent opportunity to do so. Through better understanding of the business aspects of architectural design processes, you are able to develop an improved design process, which is simpler in design, more transparent and has a lot of attention for good communication and cooperation. This saves time for the design team to think better integrally about accommodation in terms of sustainability, energy, flexibility, health and other aspects. The results of the ADMS programme of the last fifteen years clearly show the added value of ADMS, for the organizations and companies for which the usable methods and tools are designed, as for those that successfully completed the programme.
