Amy argued that productisation enables consistency, scalability, and better integration across projects, creating a foundation for innovation.
Putting safety, security and rehabilitation at the heart of prisons.Creating more flexible space for educational, training and rehabilitation outcomes.
The Programme was also a way to build on the Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ) recognised role as innovative leaders in public sector design and construction.The MoJ was, for example, the pathfinder department for Government adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and lean construction.. Standardised solutions.A key aspect of PETP was to develop standardised solutions at a range of scales that could be deployed across multiple buildings and sites, from components and rooms to entire building types and continues through the new capacity programme(s).
There were many reasons for this approach:.Standard solutions allow for a greater level of design and refinement – if a solution is going to be used multiple times then the benefit of good design is multiplied and amplified.
It afforded us a far greater level of stakeholder engagement and buy-in than we would typically achieve for a one-off design (see below).
This resulted in, for example, designs that were highly optimised in terms of layouts, space allocation, adjacencies and functional flows – which could then be deployed across the PETP programme and wider prison estate.The costs and timescales associated with constructing such facilities are immense..
