Although different parties become engaged with design and delivery, it is the integration of the design which leads to the required outcomes.
On our website, for example, you can see.an app that tests the suitability of new sites for schools.
by configuring the potential options in 10 minutes,.an apartment block configured in half an hour.a motorway in an hour.
At this speed, we can beta test many more options than could usually be considered – one of our client specific configurators will generate many thousands of completely compliant test fits in a matter of minutes, to select the solutions which best suit a specific site.. Industrialising Reference Design.Reference Design is of immediate benefit to the current design to construction market; even if built using a traditional process, there will be benefits brought by the optimal design (via optimisation of adjacencies and the standardisation inherent in Reference Design)..
However the greater opportunities lie in its ability to unlock DfMA and industrialised construction; using Reference Design for a programmatic roll out gives Portfolio clients an opportunity to move up the adoption scale at a pace that allows the supply chain to move confidently with them.
The first assets may be delivered quite traditionally, but sequential assets can be increasingly industrialised in their delivery:.For labs we will therefore update this drawing at every design stage and use for quick reference..
Maintaining the client lab equipment list with all the necessary services is a must.As the information becomes more detailed, the list should be updated to reflect the latest information.
Most issues we come across on a project are due to missing services or undefined duties within the laboratory equipment list.. Labs without extracting equipment can follow the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) guidance for air change rates, with supplementary cooling required from internal units such as fan coil units.For spaces requiring close temperature control, we do not use refrigerant-to- air cooling..
