The group felt that DCs need to be part of regional, city, utility, industrial and energy strategies.
Digital tools and spatial analysis are strongly linked; it is through the spatial analysis work that we have derived the rules that underpin our configurators.for housing and schools respectively, or computational design workflows such as.
Rapid Engineering Model.(REM) for Highways England, or.Rail: Automated Infrastructure Design.
(RAID) for Network Rail.. ‘Delivery’.covers the new models and ways of working required to leverage the benefits of construction Platforms..
The link from ‘Spatial Analysis’ to ‘Delivery’ is through accredited supply chain partners.
The common standards referred to earlier will enable a more stable, engaged supply chain.Lamont says it's important that consultants understand that and believes we also need to focus on getting more consultants back on construction sites.
People need to better understand the practical impact of their design decisions in the field.For example, why detailing doesn’t quite fit when a worker is sitting at a boom lift nine metres off the ground and drops the spanner.
This is how the power of kit-of-parts thinking begins to tie in with everything else.If engineers and architects would go back to construction sites out of sheer interest, Lamont says, we could get back to the beginning of what we’re doing and achieve more human results.
