effective . This approach allows each job to be assembled rather than built . Hunter explains that this means “ you haven ' t got as many lorries transporting equipment to the site . You haven ' t got as much waste , which means you haven ' t got as many lorries carting waste away , and efficiency is increased , in addition to quality and surety of delivery .
“ What it does do is change the cost profile on a project and it changes the design mindset ,” said Hunter . “ You spend more time offsite to provide better results onsite .” “ Data centres are a processing facility , and the product , in this case , is data . So we start a project and we approach it from the end-user perspective . We consider what needs to be achieved to deliver the facility to enable the process to work , we then effectively work a programme and project controls backwards to the start . And then that develops into a detailed programme which feeds into programme project controls and programme management ,” Hunter said .
An important part of MiCiM is its modular design process and how it affects sustainability and digital transformation . Discussing it in more detail and how it relates to sustainability , Beattie commented : “ Digital modularisation is probably slightly different to sustainability .” Chris Jarman added that the two are “ very closely related ” but pointed out that the early engagement of project management and engineers to produce models is an important part of the process .
