The case for design and build in piped medical gases.
The proposal is not new or radical in that currently many small works are and historical have been carried out implicitly utilising this system. Furthermore, this idea is not suggesting that M&E consultants be omitted from the process only that their role be redefined in terms of approving/checking proposals/installations/commissioning etc. There is an appropriate form of contract already available through JCT '80 why not utilise it? As is being done with boilers, water treatment, lifts etc. etc. The recommendation would improve quality, reduce time and cost, directly apportion accountability and involve the knowledgeable professionals within the industry.
