The guidance will provide clients with an improved understanding of:

  • the challenges and specific differences of approach between offsite manufacture and MMC.
  • what should/should not be framed in a functional specification to avoid creating unintentional barriers.
  • the principles for defining functional requirements.
  • the extent of detail to be included in commissioning/tender documentation so as not to constrain/lead constructors/suppliers/designers to adopt traditional construction practice.
  • the routes for maximising the use of functional specifications across sectors.
  • how to provide clients with the products they require while allowing designers to be creative and suppliers to utilise the design work and product development within their existing portfolios.
  • lessons learned by prior projects and to focus on areas where product development is happening throughout the supply chain.
  • the approaches to sharing of technical information and practice across industry and its sectors.
