Abstract
CAVE (Construction Accredited Volumetric Exchange) is a framework for bringing together all the required
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&D, cultural change and skills needs).
