Along with this, speed to market remains high on the agenda and, by default, pre-construction timescales are increasingly coming under pressure..

After this, we evaluate the material type.Although we do look at traditional building materials, like steel and concrete, it’s also important to evaluate how specifications might be changed and adapted for newer product options, such as low-carbon concrete.

Future proofing is a consideration, because when new materials and improvements in the industry arise, we want to be able to make best use of them without having to substantially change designs.We don’t want to have to rearrange all of our architecture, just because there's a new product available.We can overcome this issue by designing flexible buildings, offering future use suitability to a number of different architectural typologies..

The benefits of kit-of-parts architecture.Another benefit of a Platform construction, kit-of-parts, approach is that it’s very deconstructable.

We don’t need to use hot welding on-site.
