This part of BS 8895 gives recommendations for the implementation of actions and outcomes from the developed design investigations in BS 8895‑2, on optimizing material efficiency in production information, such as information models, detailed drawings and material specification and coordination of technical design work undertaken by architects; structural and building services engineers; consultants; and specialist sub-contractors and/or suppliers, as appropriate.

This part of BS 8895 also gives recommendations for the integration of designing for material efficiency into RIBA Plan of Work 2013, Stage 4 (Technical Design) [N1]. It provides guidance and case studies on how to implement material efficiency after the completion of the RIBA Plan of Work 2013, Stage 3 (Developed Design) [N1].

This part of BS 8895 is intended to be used by the design team when preparing technical design information that includes proposals for material efficiency.
