There is no requirement for on-site storage of parts, preparation, cutting, assembly or waste disposal.
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:.Starting to engage key suppliers in the provision of standardised equipment to give certainty of pipeline to the supplier, and certainty of cost and availability to the client.Prefabricating sections or ‘lower order Chips’ (the standardisation process means the lower order Chips are often designed in a way that means they can be prefabricated e.g.
an MEP cassette).Culminating in the development or adoption of a platform solution to the reference design..
