(RAID) for Network Rail.. ‘Delivery’.
The amount of information to be reviewed is significantly reduced.Standardised solutions mean that detail is available early and can be pre-approved.
The variation of the design and interfaces are standardised and controlled: only the differences need to be reviewed.Rich data representation can provide regulatory reviewers with relevant information in the appropriate format at each stage of the process.Data-rich models can generate automatic reports to demonstrate design compliance.. Simplified systems and processes enable simplified interactions.
The Platform Engineering (P-DfMA) Solution described above and the simplification of processes resulting from this design, enable much simpler and standardised interactions between customers and producers and between the various producers that make up the supply chain to deliver these buildings.This allows us to achieve the scale and speed of refurbishments that are required..
Significant amounts of the design are simpler and can be done much more quickly by a wide range of designers.
The components that make up the built solution can be mass produced by existing manufacturing supply chains.The starting point is industry collaboration — a united focus on raising the industry’s understanding, knowledge and skills in relation to sustainable building.
We need to be investing in colleges and universities, educating our young people and making sure they get the right training from the outset.We must have an industry-wide effort, focused on sustainability in design, one where we can all contribute, rather than having a few people in senior positions trying to force the issue.. We need to do more with passive design, whether it be a fully certified, Passivhaus approach, or simply using sustainable design features more generally from the start through to completion: early design stages, technical design, procurement and construction.
Nothing lost along the way.We need to involve contractors and manufacturers, with contractors pushing their supply chains to make sustainability-led improvements in their products and materials..
