For some clients, accuracy in delivery is the most important thing.

This certainty from testing should continue to reduce the risk profile, making us more attractive to investors.. What role does government play in the future of construction Platforms?.Since mandating BIM back in 2011, the UK government has played a crucial role in the effort to turn a Platform approach to construction into a reality.

There’s been a real consistency to their approach and they have continued to focus their spending power to promote Modern Methods of Construction.Moreover, the Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) who, to some extent, hold the purse strings around infrastructure spending, have also been pushing the construction Platforms agenda..In Asia, we’ve seen the Singapore government encouraging ‘Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction’ (PPVC), and we’ve also seen a focus on Modular Integrated Construction (MIC) in Hong Kong.

Both markets have geographical constraints.Singapore is very land-constrained and has limited ‘internal’ modular manufacturing capacity, but imports have good access to the Malaysian and Indonesian markets.

On the other hand, Hong Kong has potential access to Chinese manufacturers.

As such, forms of modular will no doubt be part of the future solution..The purpose of the lab space is to provide the users with a safe and controlled environment for their experiments and processes, which are undertaken by and within lab equipment.

The equipment is the primary point of a lab.This equipment is often heavily serviced, so the services take priority; perhaps much more so than in other building types.

It’s the services engineer’s responsibility to coordinate the disciplines and disseminate information to all the relevant parties to ensure their services can be properly provided..Following a review of the functional spaces, we will set out the basis of laboratory design in zoning diagrams for the different rooms, including any ISO or GMP requirements, pressure regimes, temperatures, air change rates, lux levels, circuit zoning, and keep all this information on a set of drawings.
