Reducing the costs of NCPI through standardisation
The UK Government’s plan for growth, published in 2011, highlighted the critical importance of an efficient
construction industry to the UK economy.
The Government Efficiency Reform Group published the Government Construction Strategy (GCS) in 2011. This requires all Government departments and devolved bodies to reduce the cost of construction by up to 15-20% by 2015. In response, to this Workspace Technology have developed a series of Repeatable IT Hub Room arrangements. Using standardised components and layouts will collectively deliver, or even exceed, target cost savings.
Principles of Application Workspace Technology Ltd’s Repeatable Hub Room solution provides Healthcare Sector organisations with standardised, proven technology in line with the recommendations of the Department of Health’s building notes which provide best practice guidance on the design and planning of new healthcare buildings and on the adaptation/extension of existing facilities.
