uses data from projects or programmes to create insight into what should be included in the physical ‘kit of parts’.This will help to ‘develop and adopt shared requirements and common standards’ as described in the ‘harmonise, digitise and rationalise’ policy.. Spatial Analysis considers the requirements of the spaces that make up assets (lighting, air change rates, thermal comfort, acoustics and so on).

It also includes details of the technical performance of the physical components that make them..This is a key step in defining a Platform but also in creating a digital marketplace.Specifications like these provide a precise and consistent brief for manufacturers to respond to.

They provide an objective way to compare and choose between products.. As we move away from procuring for lowest cost and start to make more value-based judgements, this becomes even more important.One of the Construction Innovation Hub’s core themes is Value: ‘driving better social, environmental and economic outcomes through value-based decision making’.. Meeting the technical requirements would be the entry criteria for a vendor, evidenced through aspects such as CQP (.

Construction Quality Planning.

Buyers can be assured that the products meet the specifications and will be reliable and consistent.Approaching our processes from a mindset of constant questioning and exploration, with a goal of deeper understanding, is what really gets people thinking and seeing things differently.

This is how we’ll create real change.. Kit-of-parts and the Value Toolkit.When the Construction Innovation Hub began, the intention was for a project management strategy focused on iteration and development.

The goal was to develop a kit-of-parts approach that could be implemented with manufacturing processes, assembled in standardised ways, in standardised environments.That still exists, but the Hub is now aware of the need to look at other and bigger elements as well, such as information management..
