In the United States alone there are 260 gigawatts of operating coal.

are a good example; highly standardised, they are identical on every site, only the number and orientation changes and is dictated by the prison population and aspect/prospect of the site.The UK prisons rollout is reporting dramatic reductions in delivery schedule with much improved certainty on just the second project to use this approach..

However, in other cases, where assets need to respond to site constraints and/or business needs, then the ability to adapt a Reference Design is critical to its usefulness.We have seen clients who already have Reference Designs (also called template designs).However, with no rules for how to adapt this Reference Design to local sites, the delivery teams can end up unravelling it and are back with new designs..

Many, if not most clients, need designs that can respond to unique sites and needs e.g.for a healthcare facility the design needs to be flexible to accommodate specific clinical specialisms and the demographics of a particular region..

So how can a Reference Design both standardise a design, yet leave enough flexibility to adapt it to any given brief?.

Designing flexible Reference Designs.There’s also a relationship in terms of how smart contracts are being tied into those sorts of outcomes.

However, much of this evolution is happening in a piecemeal way.. asBuilt believe the situation is too big for the government to bring entirely under control, and say there are cost overruns for the benefits they’re realizing, which pertain to the inputs.Lamont calls it a case of swings and roundabouts, noting that without action you get nothing, yet once something is prescribed it seems to be too much.

There’s a balancing act required.However, he says that people are genuinely looking for ways to de-risk programs of work and make additional profit.
