[Scanned] Hi All As the design for our new campus develops, we have been asked to decide whether we require Raised Access Flooring (RAF) for the routing and concealment of services. Our Design Team are steering us away from RAF, citing additional costs and greater building height. Does anyone have relevant experience or advice which they could share to help us make the right decision? Many thanks for all the great feedback I get from this service.
