The new design methods will also radically change the handling of drawings. All the information required can be collected from the data base. As information is stored in one place only and is automatically transferred without manual intervention, it is possible to achieve the target of zero errors. The "scale-less site" has changed the site structure and procedures so that they fit into an efficient design process. 3-D design permits the correct amounts of building materials to be delivered in the exact form to the site or site factory for efficient assembly. We have obtained an industrialised process that is characterised by: Better working conditions; Ecological building; Functionally correct buildings; Quality; Radically shorter design times; Lower costs. 1, record 2, English, - site%20factory
