Abstract

Minimal attention has been given to the whole-life assessment of modular healthcare building programmes, resulting in a critical lack of knowledge on the overall value of their modularisation. The primary objective of this research is to shed light on the complex questions associated with strategic intent, implementation, and impact of a modular approach to the delivery of healthcare buildings. Through an investigation into the national Nucleus modular hospital programme, this paper aims to articulate the trade-offs between the benefits and sacrifices inherent in a modular methodology for healthcare buildings. This will be accomplished by explicitly examining three dimensions of value, which are strategic (intent) Value, design construction (implementation) Value, and operational (impact) Value. This analysis adds to the conceptual understanding of the value of process modularity in healthcare buildings while also delineating an improved analytical framework for assessing modular value.
