Design facility
How design facility are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 80% of the work in Design facility is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: While the PCF top-level category 'Plan and acquire assets' generally carries a physical-heavy prior (~0.20), the specific process 'Design facility' is defined as 'Preparing and analyzing different designs'. This refines the focus to heavily cognitive, computer-aided knowledge work—such as CAD and analytical modeling—rather than physical construction, elevating it to the digital band.

How the work flows
Trigger: A capacity shortage, operational expansion, or strategic initiative mandates the creation or renovation of a physical facility.
- Identify operational and spatial requirements
- Draft conceptual facility designs
- Evaluate designs for cost, compliance, and feasibility
- Incorporate stakeholder feedback into design revisions
- Approve the final facility design
Outcome: An approved facility design, including architectural and operational specifications, is handed off for construction bidding or execution.
