The small number of extra supports required during transportation to avoid damaging of services, are returned to the factory and re-used for subsequent deliveries..
Read more about our.methodology here.. We introduced this concept to the New Hospitals Programme, developing the initial ‘Hospital 2.0’ solution.
While this has since evolved, the use of a Reference Design continues to be a central part of their strategy to deliver schemes across the UK..In addition to the public sector health and custodial programmers, we are currently deploying Reference Design and Chip Thinking across the private sector, particularly in the.data centre market.
and for logistics and fulfillment centers..The benefits of using a Reference Design even with a traditional supply chain.
Sometimes the lack of supply chain maturity necessitates a more traditional construction process.
However, even using a completely traditional build, reference design has numerous benefits:.So, what advice does Amy Marks have for moving the industry forward?.
“Everybody right now, if you're an architect or a builder, you should be working on your foundational skills with the baseline, anchor, portfolio products,” she says.. It’s then what she calls the “connective tissue” technology, the tech which forms between those products to connect them to other products, which will be the key to getting from “conceptualisation, design, to make, to operate,” she says.. Productization: building a raft in the ocean of construction.The process of productising the pieces and parts involved in construction will help inform our understanding of what technological connective tissue is missing, as well as what we need to do to fill in the gaps.. Amy Marks compares the productisation of those elements to building a raft or reef in the middle of the ocean.
Whether it be a generator, a panel, a bathroom pod, or something else, productisation will provide something solid to work with inside a sea of fluidity, something we can “actually track through and map…”.The key, she says, is that the products must be fully defined.
