Point of supply
BREEAM UK New Construction, Non-domestic Buildings (United Kingdom), Technical Manual, SD5078: BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 3.0, published by BRE Global Limited, suggests that:
‘For the purposes of this issue (responsible construction practices), point of supply is the point of origin for the product supplied to the site. This may be the factory gate or the distribution centre, depending on the product type.
The factory gate is defined as the product manufacturer gate (i.e. where manufacture and pre-assembly finishes and the material is in its final product form). Examples might include:
- steel, concrete or glass manufacturers for cladding, windows and beams etc.
- quarry gate for aggregate and sand
- concrete plant for concrete
- saw mill and timber processing plant for timber.’
