| Abstract | The RGR framework was synthesized using the ‘Construction as Simile’ framework with specific reflections on ‘construction as biological cells’ simile. A generic blueprint of the model vis-à-vis a write-up was developed to explore its relevance, validity, and applicability as a precursor to an industry survey. The purpose of this study was to assess the comprehensibility of the blueprint. Seven professionals from Tier 1 construction companies, large client organisations, and regulatory authorities were chosen to review the blueprint. Three rounds of reviews were conducted each involving two reviewers at a time integrating feedback received in subsequent reviews. Feedback received identified the need to tone the descriptions to a neutral, non-construction, non-verbiage blueprint. This resulted in further reflections of the concepts and leading to further refinement. Additionally, this analysis led to the rationalization of a global set of ‘tools’ (concepts) for cellular replication effectiveness and efficiency which are to be explored in the near future. The peer review indicates progress is in the right trajectory with some reviewers already describing the implementation aspect of this framework to construction encouraging. While the authors profess likely wider application of this model to construction, this study is limited to the issue of developing a generic and a refined blueprint of the RGR framework so to as develop a construction-specific blueprint for application in the construction industry post a detailed industry survey. |
