parties to deliver accredited volumetric construction: the clients, the designers, the certifiers, the materials 

suppliers, the assemblers and logistics. CAVE will reduce risk throughout the supply chain, encouraging 

suppliers to invest in the manufacturing capabilities needed to enable the delivery of quality volumetric 

solutions to meet contractors, and end users needs. The whole system will be accredited and enable efficient 

exchange (selection) of the suitable organisations for a given project. 

The feasibility study will review, develop and assess the CAVE framework concept in the context of other supply 

chain focussed initiatives such as the drive towards industrialised construction and automation. It will use the 

information collected to assess its suitability for mainstream use in Skanska (and wider) supply chains. It will 

establish the next steps towards implementation (including investment, R&amp;amp;D, cultural change and skills needs).</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
