What are the benefits of reference design?

In terms of Australia’s vast size potentially impacting on DfMA advancement, in actuality, 90% of the population live on the east coast.

Some of the projects chosen were as follows:.Transitioning to an automated construction supply chain: future business model innovation for SMEs.

: This compelling project, led by The University of Reading, explored the opportunities and constraints for SMEs in the adoption of robotics and automation.The work explored limitations posed by current business models and the changes that would be necessary to move towards automation of the supply chain, and the wider adoption of technology.. Design Optimisation and Prototyping for Affordable Rural Housing.: Robert Gordon University in Scotland was selected for this project, focused.

on transforming the delivery of rural housing via design optimisation and prototyping, in order to facilitate faster, scalable and digitally integrated production.The project also offered the added benefit of attracting digital natives into housing construction.

: A program by the University of Sussex in association with the British Parking Association, TransPark explored how car parking could be revolutionised.

With an increase in the number of electric cars on the road, and our need to be connected all the time, the program investigated how car parks could function in an integrated and digitally enabled way..The opportunity within healthcare design and build is to address all of these competing value drivers successfully.

This is the essence of our core approach – design to value.. Our overarching aim is to deliver a beautiful building which achieves excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety and user experience, savings in cost and carbon, precision in budget and timescales, and flexibility to allow for future developments, planned and not.. A holistic approach to healthcare.Every project starts with a brief, of course.

A clear brief allows for the design to be checked continuously as it evolves.Our approach to developing a brief is to place it firmly in the context of being a part of the process which ends with a fully functioning hospital.
