	Calculations only take one working day too. Thus, specifiers can quickly and easily get an indication of horizontal and vertical centres for each bracket and the number of components required for the job.

	Typically, with high-rise buildings in cities, projects are released by elevation, i.e. by each side of the building, north, east, south or west, or by floor level. This is done so that local disruption is minimised, and the building scheme can be completed in phases.

−	Logistically though, this puts pressure on site managers with deliveries and materials, as there is often little storage space. If materials are delivered to site, they can then go missing, and thus cause delays and rises in capital costs.	+	Logistically though, this puts pressure on site managers with deliveries and materials, as there is often little storage space.

	A final consideration for specifiers and contractors is understanding the warranties and approvals for the system.		A final consideration for specifiers and contractors is understanding the warranties and approvals for the system.

−	To ensure a meaningful warranty the contractor needs to ensure that the brackets, rail and fixings are covered by a common warranty. Often this is overlooked, and brackets supplied from one manufacturer secured with fixings from another manufacturer have different warranty periods which may not cover or deliver the required protection, thus leading to potential conflicts on site.	+	To ensure a meaningful warranty, the contractor needs to ensure that the brackets, rail and fixings are covered by a common warranty.

−	Always look for products that are BBA certified too. BBA certification is recognised throughout the built environment sector as a symbol of quality and reassurance. Products and systems that have received this certification are tested and audited, ensuring they are fit for purpose. Products manufactured in the UK can also bring benefits from speed of technical support, deliveries and being able to deal directly with the manufacturer of the product, therefore negating the need to deal through a third party.	+	Always look for products that are BBA certified too.

	Not just this, but when it comes to installation, having a partner who can assist with technical queries and best practice prevents mistakes on site. This is particularly important when it comes to working with older buildings, as no two buildings will be the same.

Indeed, this has been a growing theme globally – reducing waste, making good of what we have got, and applying some reimagination and ingenuity.

−	Loop, a startup company in the US, for example, is already working with major brands on durable, thoughtfully designed containers which can be sent back to be refilled with FMCG goods such as shampoo and ice cream. With furniture, if you know your way around sanders and spray paint, you can easily turn an old 1960s chest of drawers destined for landfill into a piece fit for any five-star hotel.	+	Loop, a startup company in the US, for example, is already working with major brands on durable, thoughtfully designed containers which can be sent back to be refilled with FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) such as shampoo and ice cream.

	The same thinking should now be applied on a larger scale to our buildings. Drive into any big city around the UK and you’ll likely be greeted with tower blocks and buildings created two, even three generations ago, which are no longer in keeping with modern aesthetics.
