All of this work would turn these communities into clean energy hubs that will operate for decades to come..
This allows an initial solution (or multiple solutions) to be developed, with pre-defined rules assuring compliance.These design solutions can be assessed and compared for optimisation of flows, simplicity of enabling works (cut and fill, extent of utilities works) etc..
This is not a complete design solution but can quickly generate a working feasibility model so clients can make highly informed decisions in days or weeks and at a fraction of the cost of a non ‘reference design’ approach.Clients can even take a virtual tour to aid their insight, feedback and input.The design and procurement stages that follow can then also be compressed through focusing time and effort only on the bespoke elements of the largely standardised design.
This approach has been enormously powerful for our clients: the ability to rapidly assess the viability of sites has saved months of uncertainty and prevented the inefficiency of wasted work.. Configuring Reference Design.The rule and data-led thinking that defines Chips and how they can fit together in a design e.g.
scale, adjacency, proximity etc.
lends itself to the use of Configurators, which can be designed by our.Reduced capital cost:.
The standardisation process reduces the volume of materials and the number of construction elements which in turn reduces the capital cost of the project.The repetition of components at a large scale can reduce the cost of standardised elements.. A Platforms digital workflow delivers tremendous improvements to the procurement process.
Having all data centralised in a BIM model provides instant access to both the cost and availability of a project’s components, and creates a more direct relationship with the supply chain cutting down transaction costs..Reduced programme:.
